Thank u verdeque for posting ur story.
With primary IF nd wasting time with ob gyns i was desperate and went for fertility treatment. Thanks God got my baby. At that time nd situation after 2 mc i wasnt ready go natural as it might take a long time.
Fast forward, this time hubby didnt want any fert drs! Again desperation to have another baby, i started looking at alternative (natural) treatments.
Did accupuncture, fertility massage, herbs, vitamins, losing weight, eating healthier, though i wasnt that junkie.

PLEASE READ THIS - ladies, if EVER there was a topic I could shout about from the rooftops, it's this. I had 2 miscarriages, then a pregnancy with a baby that had a severe birth defect that I had to terminate (awful). I am a very healthy woman, who takes tons of vitamins & supplements, etc. This all happened years ago, before my DH was in the picture. When we first started trying, I was considered high risk, and my husband tested low sperm count. A friend of mine swore by acupuncture/chinese medicine, and I found a guy on Harley St (don't remember how I found him), who ended up being a lifesaver for us. He tracked all statistics in his clinic, and had NEVER had a woman miscarry in his practice. Further, while most IVF had a 1 in 4 chance of success, he brought that up to a 3 in 4. My husband did a little to boost up his count but the focus was on me. Within a few months I was pregnant, and lo and behold, I started bleeding, heavily, at 8 weeks. I rushed to see him and after a few acupuncture needles the bleeding stopped. He told me later he thought I'd be his first miscarriage, and this from a guy who had a patient who once had 9 miscarriages before seeing him. I now have a son who turned 8 this week.
A few years later, we wanted to try for number two, and this time my DH was tested sterile AND abnormal. Good grief! So, back to Daniel we went, and I also took some supplements I found online on nativeremedies.com, called fertile xx and fertile xy (for both of us). I was pregnant within a few weeks, after being told we couldn't have kids. Again, saw Daniel throughout. I credit him with both of my kids.
Subsequently, I've had 2 friends who had had fertility probs for a few years each, and they were quite low about it. On both counts, I recommended acupuncture/chinese medicine, and BOTH couples were successfully pregnant within 3 months.
Apparently this type of medicine is very appropriate for fertility issues, and most chinese practitioners could help. In the case of my friends, they both went to two totally diff docs.
I love acupuncture, and it's on the top of my to do list when I get to Dubai in August to find a good practioner, as acupuncture is the only thing that helps me with my fatigue/thyroid issues, and I've tried a lot of stuff thru my naturopath, with little success.
Sorry to go on about this, but I KNOW how heartbreaking a miscarriage is, and when docs tell you it was meant to be, etc etc, that's simply not so. Acupuncture & Chinese herbs can sort your cycles out & foster a really healthy environment in your womb. And as I said, it really is a topic near and dear to my heart, and if I could help just one of you to have a successful pregnancy, that would be great!
Best of luck!
I've also had 3 miscarriages in the last two years - here in Dubai. Know how it feels.
Awesome Dr is Dr Salihi - at the Herbal and Treatment Center. She is brilliant, specialises in recurrent miscarriages.
Is there a miscarriage group in Dubai?
