Carolyn's Story
I had been trying to conceive for almost a year before I came to see the Days. Within 6 months, I was pregnant!
​
My husband and I had been monitoring my cycles for a few months before seeing an OB for fertility support. We learned that my egg count was lower than expected and that it would be extra hard for us to conceive, even with the help of medicine. We were then on various cycles of clomid and trigger shots, all with no pregnancy. We were at the point of considering IVF when I decided to give acupuncture a try.
At the time, I sought out acupuncture for two reasons – to help with chronic pain in my ankles for which I could no longer take ibuprofen given our attempts to conceive, and for fertility support. New, and maybe somewhat nervous to try acupuncture, Jonathan and Hillary made it easy to trust them and relax. They were kind, knowledgeable, and patient. Within the first few treatments, I had significant pain relief in my ankles. A relief that has persisted, decreasing my overall reliance on ibuprofen for management.
We were then able to focus on my fertility journey. Jonathan and Hillary took things in steps with me, first just focusing on acupuncture and heat. As I became more comfortable, they showed me how to track my basal temperatures and then tailored treatments accordingly. And finally, we incorporated herbs into my therapy – constantly adjusting them based on my symptoms and response.
Throughout my pregnancy, we continued therapy to help with my nausea and other pregnancy related symptoms. I remain incredibly grateful for Jonathan and Hillary's care, attention, and support; and for helping us complete our family with a beautiful baby girl.
