Dear Lorne,
Our son Heath turned one year old yesterday. Of course, as with most milestones, we were reflecting on our past year with Heath and our journey to get there.
I just want to express our thanks again for helping us get pregnant.
Heath is such a joy in our life and I don't think it would've happened if you hadn't identified my body's needs so comprehensively. We really appreciated your kindness and expertise...
When my husband and I decided to have another baby, we assumed it would be easy, as it had only taken one month to get pregnant with our first. And it was, until we miscarried at about five or six weeks along. After the miscarriage we actively tried for a year and a half without success. We were lost, and felt discouraged.

It all began 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 34. It started with a small ache in my pelvic region and some back pain, which...
Over a year ago I experienced a devastating miscarriage at almost 19 weeks. After months of testing to see if there was a reason behind the loss I was told nothing was wrong, these things happen and I was finally cleared to try to get pregnant again. In my gut, though, I didn't feel that I had healed and I was terrified that I would experience another loss if I did get pregnant.
The following story was written by a couple who were experiencing infertility problems. She had been diagnosed with PCOS and her husband had poor sperm motility. They had visited multiple specialists and were told that they needed medical help to achieve a pregnancy.
Here is a quick synopsis of what she writes about:
1320 VitaminsIt has been almost three months since I started seeing Lorne after trying for almost a year to conceive. I seemed healthy and yet I felt helpless and perplexed about my fertility. I’m a decent age (32), maintain a healthy weight, eat nutritiously and enjoy wine occasionally, exercise and sleep generously, and have a wonderful husband of seven years -- all I could think was "why am I not pregnant like so many women I know right now?"
