IVF

Another Positive Pregnancy Test!

August 20, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Another positive pregnancy test and ultrasound!

We are so pleased for this couple we have been working with for a year. They are a lovely couple who have been trying to conceive for over 7 years.

When they joined our clinic last year we did a series of acupuncture treatments with the mom-to-be for an IUI – Intrauterine Insemination. There were a couple failed attempts sadly.

Then, this spring they decided to go the next step of IVF – Invitro fertilization. Both husband and wife came in for assessments and started supplements, dietary and acupuncture regimes for 3 months. Their fertility clinic decided to switch to an IUI based on her bloodwork and ultrasound during the cycle that was meant to be an IVF cycle.

Low and behold – a positive pregnancy test! This is the first time she has been pregnant and is almost near the end of her first trimester.

Congratulations!

ICSI is associated with higher birth defects

May 17, 2012 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

Many of my fertility patients are using artificial reproductive techniques (ART) like IVF, IUI, and ICSI.  The use of ICSI seems to be increasing as it has been producing better results.  This study suggests that parents-to-be using ART should think twice about ICSI.

The desire to be parents is strong and using ICSI eggs successfully will produce a normal child 90% of the time.  So does the increase risk really matter that much?
