The first thing I have to say is that I wish I had gone to Acubalance sooner than I did. I am 42, have led a very healthy life, and am now 22 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl but it took me (us) two somewhat agonizing years to get here. I credit our…
Wow, I’m not sure where to begin. I think the title alone says a lot. I just wish I had learned about Acubalance a lot sooner. I first learned of Acubalance from a flyer in the waiting room of the IVF office in the fall of 2008. At the time, I was only days away from retrieval….
After having tried to conceive on our own for a year and a half, my husband and I were referred to a doctor at the UBC Fertility Clinic. After many tests, I learned I was not a candidate for IVF because of my low ovarian reserve. — I had a low antral follicle count, and…
After a year of trying to conceive, I was diagnosed with “premature ovarian failure” at the age of 26. Devastated, my husband and I thought our chances to have a child were over. After much soul-searching and research, we decided in vitro fertilization (IVF) was the path we wanted to take. IVF is an expensive…
After several years of trying to conceive unsuccessfully, I was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis in March 2007. The doctor said that I only had a 20% chance of getting pregnant naturally but would have a better chance using assisted reproductive technology. This was very devastating news. Based on our chances, we contemplated trying IVF….
It is with great joy that I thank Dr. Lorne Brown and the entire Acubalance team for their extraordinary care. I’m happy and healthfully 24 weeks pregnant with my first child at age 36. I first approached Acubalance, and Dr. Brown specifically, upon the recommendation of a close friend. She knew that my husband and…
Canada Day weekend 2007 found me in bed crying for three days as I miscarried at 10 weeks. My husband lay next to me, holding me the whole time. I felt so crushed, so broken like my body and my life was betraying me. I had to undergo a D&C at the hospital. We had…
After my first attempt at IVF failed due to poor egg quality and quantity, I asked my OBGYN what I could do before I started my second round to prepare my body and increase my fertility. He suggested that I try acupuncture and referred me to Dr. Brown’s clinic Acubalance. I had tried acupuncture previously…
After losing our first son at 22 weeks, I was scared to get pregnant again. I didn’t know how we would be able to get pregnant again and deal with the anxiety and fear of carrying another child. After hearing about Acubalance from a friend, I started going on a weekly basis to get a…
I first started seeing Ryan at Acubalance in January 2010. Since a teenager, I have always had irregular/infrequent cycles which my doctor attributed to hormonal imbalances and diagnosed as oligomenorrhoea. At the time, my husband and I were not trying to get pregnant. However, we knew that we would want to start trying to conceive…
