One month before my wedding,  I received the news that I would likely never conceive a child using my own eggs. After 5 months of stopping the pill,  I had not had my period. Routine hormonal testing showed my FSH level was over 150, which is considered post-menopausal.  A second test showed levels at 84. I was 32 years old and in otherwise in very good health & normal weight. I was completely devastated and angry at my body.  My gynecologist referred me to a fertility specialist, but my husband and I decided to wait until after the honeymoon in order to brace ourselves for more devastating news.

I have no doubt that the daily teas combined with weekly acupuncture treatments “woke up” my body.  Within 2 weeks, I began spotting for a couple of days.  The next month I had a light period. By the third month, there was no doubt my body had woken up – I had a very heavy, but normal period.  We retested my hormone levels and FSH improvement was dramatic – down to 13.5.

I conceived naturally that same cycle.
