I first started seeing Kirsten and her team after 3 miscarriages. Kirsten had me start charting my temperatures and within our first few sessions she could see from my charts that my progesterone was very low. Sure enough the doctor called a few days later to confirm her suspicions. I was also diagnosed with borderline PCOS. Through the use of herbs, diet changes and acupuncture we started to see a difference in my charts and my temperatures got closer to the ideals. Kirsten was confident that the next time I got pregnant I would carry to term.
A few months later, I got my positive pregnancy test. I continued acupuncture throughout the first 12 weeks and I am still pregnant at 15 weeks!!
I can not say enough about Kirsten. She is a positive person who is extremely knowledgable about fertility. She has wonderful suggestions and she provides unparalleled support. I thoroughly enjoyed my treatments and found they provided me with a calmness that I couldn't find elsewhere in those first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Even when I had doubts she assured me that this pregnancy would be different.
If you are trying to make a decision about seeking acupuncture treatment for a fertility issue, I highly recommend you go for it.
