I have been on my IVF journey for quite some time. After our first three retrievals, we were left empty-handed. We kept hearing about many couples who had success after doing acupuncture for a few months before a retrieval, so we finally decided to give it a try. After doing a lot of research, I found Yin’s Clinic. During my consultation with Dr. Yin, she was very hopeful and took the time to explain the benefits of acupuncture. She assured me that we would have a better outcome than our previous three cycles, which had resulted in 0 blastocysts and 0 embryos. That conversation marked the beginning of my year-long journey with Yin’s Clinic, with a few breaks in between. With every session, she asked where I was in my retrieval cycle, any changes in my medications, and then selected pressure points accordingly. At first, I found myself questioning whether it was really worth it. I complained about being tired of getting poked with needles, about the walls being too thin, and wondered if any of it was actually working. Eventually, I let go and allowed myself to truly relax. That’s when I realized the walls didn’t feel so thin anymore, the needles didn’t bother me at all, and I experienced a sense of calm and zen I never thought was possible. From that point on, I genuinely looked forward to my acupuncture sessions and even dragged my husband along with me. When the results came in from that retrieval, I felt incredibly grateful to Yin’s Clinic for helping me get there. We decided to go for another round so that, if we wanted two children, we would have that opportunity. Once again, acupuncture did not disappoint. When it was time for my transfer, I was extremely nervous. Fiona was my main acupuncturist throughout the retrieval and transfer process. Somehow, I managed to strain my back right before my transfer, and Fiona and Dr. Yin were able to resolve the issue in just two sessions. I’ve had recurring back pain for years, and it usually takes weeks and medication to improve, so I was genuinely shocked by how quickly I felt better. After my transfer, I experienced complications with bleeding. Fiona added additional pressure points and gave me holistic moxa sticks to use at home, which helped reduce the bleeding. She was incredibly caring and always willing to help me through any hurdles I faced. I will forever be grateful for her support. Today, I am holding my newborn in my arms, filled with immense gratitude for Yin’s Clinic for helping me get here.
