Getting Pregnant Naturally After a Failed IVF/IUI

[emmy_nyc]

Hello~

My husband and I have been trying to have kids for 3.5 years. After many unsuccessful attempts with fertility treatments in the NYC area (3 IUIs and 1 IVF) we decided to take a break and try naturally. I thought for sure I couldn't get pregnant naturally and I've missed my period for almost a week now. I'm waiting to take a pregnancy test. I'm not sure what's going on?? I was taking so many drugs and nothing worked. Your professional advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Have you considered trying acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine. Sometimes when western medicine does not work acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine can help.  I suggest going to a acupuncturist/herbal medicine doctor who specializes in fertility.  There are some famous one in NYC and your REI may know who is the best.

Hi,

I had IUI 2 times and 1 IVF which all failed, 8 months later i got PG on my own and didnt realise till i was 7 weeks, i think the IVF changed my body and i didnt have the mental stress of any treatments and was enjoying being stress free, mother nature works in funny ways .

Good luck :)
