My husband and I celebrated six years of marriage this year. After the first year, we started talking about children. We both have a love for children. We saw ourselves being parents one day. We all thought it would be an easy journey, but it hasn’t been for us.
After a year of trying, and no luck, we were devastated that it wasn’t happening to us. Each month was unsuccessful and we started to think something was wrong. I wanted peace and comfort because I began to hurt so much. I was suffering so much inside. I was always so sad, and at the end of the month, I would cry every time it didn’t work.
After four years of trying, we were still struggling with infertility. I wanted healing to ease the suffering. We tried the """"high tech"""" route, medications, shots, inseminations, IVF and two surgeries, which every attempt was unsuccessful. We were tired and lost. I had unexplained infertility, which means doctors cannot find a cause for the failure to get pregnant. I was devastated and my body was showing it.
There were days that I felt that it wasn’t worth fighting but I had hope. I was searching for hope. One day I was on the Internet and I came across The Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture. I was so impressed with the website and we made our first appointment. At our first appointment, we met with Kirsten Karchmer, I explained to her our situation and that the last two years have been exhausting. Our first appointment was the opposite. We are just looking for some hope and she gave that to us that day. I finally felt some peace in this crazy time. We had been longing for this and we knew we found a place where it was going to get better. TCRA is a business that brings so much happiness to people like us. We were excited about this new adventure and very hopeful for the future. She made us feel so important and dedicated her time to us. She assured to us that she would go to bat for us 100% to take amazing care of us and she and her team has done that and more. She put us on a plan specifically for us that involved weekly acupuncture, herbs and dietary changes. She also wanted us to begin to track my basal body temperature.
We continued to travel to San Antonio for our weekly acupuncture appointments. This is where we met Rob Krassowski. We have completed 2 packages of acupuncture and on our third one. We have enjoyed it much. Rob has been great very informative and hopeful. He is extremely educated in this field. He has been exceptionally understanding in our situation. He has helped with my stress and energy levels. The anxiety and depression associated with fertility challenges have been decreasing tremendously. My allergies and digestion have improved under his care. My overall well-being has improved impressively. I look forward to every weekly appointment we have with him. It has been so peaceful and relaxing. Not only could I tell that I was better because I felt great but my basal body temperatures were improving as well.
We did receive a true miracle. We actually succeeded to get pregnant the natural way without any drugs or medical intervention; But with the help of TCRA. Sadly enough, we did lose the baby at 7 weeks; but I was still able to conceive. The day I received a positive test was such an amazing day!
During the process of the miscarriage, TCRA was right beside us, making sure we were on our way to healing. We are still healing from this and putting ourselves back together slowly but we know we would not be here today if it was not for the help that TCRA has given us.
We have continued with our battle of not having a child but we have found peace and comfort at TCRA. I would recommend TCRA to anyone who has experienced a fertility challenge. TCRA has given us hope!
