Fertility & IVF SS

At the age of 35, my husband and I finally decided that it was time to start a family. After three years of trying, we were still unsuccessful. We did all the testing with our family doctor, who found no reason for infertility. I did three rounds of Clomid which did not work. I then…

I came to see Dr. Lorne Brown at 40 years old. Just six weeks prior, I had been through a devastating loss to preterm labor at 17 and half weeks. This was an IVF pregnancy. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for three and a half years. The fertility clinic told me I didn’t…

My husband and I had no problem getting pregnant. Staying pregnant was another issue. At the age of 32-33, I experienced three miscarriages in less than a year, never making it past nine weeks of pregnancy. After going through the routine tests at the Recurrent Pregnancy Loss program at Women’s Hospital, I was told there…

Dr. Lorne Brown at Acubalance has provided ongoing long-distance support and advice to my fertility journey since I first stepped into Acubalance in January 2011. I cannot imagine how I would feel by this point without having Lorne as my go-to person with endless questions on an “as-need” basis. I was and still am doing almost…

Quite simply, Dr. Ryan Funk pulled me out of a sea of despair. I finally have a healthy baby with Acubalance’s support. In March 2010, I was 12 weeks into the first trimester; my world was full of hopes and dreams.  After a routine ultrasound, we were told there was no heartbeat. I couldn’t believe…

Waterman…

My husband and I had been trying to start our family for seven years when we first contacted Acubalance. After unsuccessfully pursuing fertility treatment in Calgary, now both 35 years old, we decided to try a fertility clinic in Vancouver and learned of Acubalance through them. Before coming to Vancouver, I arranged a series of…

As my 36th birthday is approaching next month, I have been spending a lot of time thinking of where we are in our journey of growing our family, where we have been, and how far we still have on this path, but there is successful treatment for PCOS. When first struggling with infertility at 26, I was diagnosed…

I’m truly grateful for all of Ryan’s help and support. My husband and I had been trying to have a child with no success. After many years of experiencing infertility, we decided to go to a fertility clinic for a full workup. They diagnosed me with endometriosis and suggested we begin clomid. We began to use clomid…

I came to see Dr. Ryan Funk to complement the IVF cycle I was doing through Genesis Fertility Clinic. I was 30 years old and had a diagnosis with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in my early twenties. My PCOS caused me to be anovulatory, have irregular periods, and be overweight. After I was married at…
