I share with you my story and the way Dr. Zhou helped me realize my biggest dream: to be a mother

It all started when I was 15 years old, and to be more precise, when I had my first period. My first period came naturally but after that, things changed. It took me 7 months to have another period, since then, my periods were very irregular and sometimes accompanied with allergic reactions. When I was 16 years old I was diagnosed with what is called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I underwent several different treatments with contraceptive pills regulate my periods. Everything was working great with the pills, and decided to stop taking them, and as I did so did my periods. I took those pills for 8 years having to deal with the secondary effects of them.

When I was 23 years old I got married. When my husband and I were ready to start a family I stopped taking the pills and again my periods disappeared. A lot of tests were performed to find the root cause of my problem, including a womb biopsy, a salpingography and many others. My womb and ovaries were healthy, but the problem was the lack of ovulation, I simply did not ovulate.

I started a one year fertility treatment based on stimulation pills. During this time I didn’t have a single follicle that had the right size. With the pills, my ovaries started producing a lot of small follicles, but none of them reached the necessary size to reach a mature state. After the pills, came the injections. With them the number of follicles increased, but then again not big enough. We tried everything, different doses of injections, pills with injections and no positive results. After two and a half years I started feeling physically and emotionally tired. Injections really took a physical toll on me, not to even mention the emotional impact all of this was having on me.

My husband and I decided to stop all types of treatment. However, I decided to work with my problem from a different perspective, an holistic one, which took into account the physical, the emotional and the spiritual. The human body is the perfect machine, when we are balanced we are healthy, on the contrary, when there is a physical, emotional or spiritual imbalance an illness appears. I decided to broaden my knowledge on this subject and enrolled in a course named: “The Psychological Origin of Illnesses”. In these courses I learned how our emotions and thoughts can have an effect in our body. When we started talking about alternative therapies we learned about acupuncture, an ancient technique which seeks to restore and balance the flow of energy throughout our body.
