One of the biggest blessings to come from RFC was Iris, our acupuncturist. I started going weekly once we started our IVF in March. I didn’t know what to think of acupuncture, but I had heard success from others, so I said, why not? It couldn’t hurt at all. Iris is so wonderful, and she focused on many issues I had going on, including my heavy periods, restless sleep, and monthly migraines. Her main goal was to restore blood flow to my uterus in preparation for my upcoming retrieval and transfer.

We had our egg retrieval in April 2021 and took a month’s break to prepare for transfer. Physically and emotionally, I was overwhelmed, so I kept up with acupuncture in the meantime because it was important to me, and I was so hopeful for my embryo transfer. In the month of waiting between our egg retrieval and our embryo transfer, we fell pregnant naturally! After 8 years of infertility with not even one pregnancy since our infertility journey began, we were so surprised to be pregnant within two months of doing acupuncture.

During an appointment with Iris, she felt my radial pulse-like she had always done. She knew I was pregnant 5 days before I even had a positive pregnancy test. That is seriously how good she is. I have to admit I was unsure and hesitant about acupuncture at first, but I was willing to try anything to help. It turned out to be the best thing we ever did, and I would recommend Iris and acupuncture 1,000%. It was worth every penny because we now have a miracle baby growing and are almost 11 weeks with the blessing that we didn’t know was possible.

My biggest regret was not coming here sooner and not doing acupuncture sooner. There aren’t enough thank yous to RFC, Dr. Park, Isabel, and Iris for the way we were taken care of. I would also like to thank the girls at the front who were so welcoming and, after seeing my face so many times, were always so excited to see me again.
