Canada Day weekend 2007 found me in bed crying for three days as I miscarried at 10 weeks. My husband lied next to me, holding me the whole time. I felt so crushed, so broken, like my body, and my life, was betraying me. I had to undergo a D&C at the hospital. We had gotten pregnant after about six months of trying. I was 37 at the time, my husband almost 48.
My story starts on a sad note, but it is a story with a happy new beginning, because out of this sadness I rose up again like a phoenix from the ashes. And now, as I prepare to share my story in the hope that it will help you as you go through your own fertility journey, I hold my beautiful healthy baby girl in my arms. We brought her home from the hospital on Easter morning three years later. She was almost 9 pounds, and absolutely perfect.
If I had known how it would turn out, I would have felt very different over the years it took to get pregnant again. One of the hardest things about infertility for me was the uncertainty, and at times I thought I may never have a child. Following the miscarriage, I felt too fragile, too hurt to try again for the longest time. I wasn’t sure if I could handle another crushing blow. I wanted some tests to be conducted but my ob/gyn insisted that if we had gotten pregnant once it was a good sign and that everything was all right. Somehow, I felt that we needed testing but went along with what he said.
My recovery was slow and I was hard on myself for feeling so sad a lot of the time. We went almost one and a half years with me feeling low, and trying only half heartedly to get pregnant even though I felt like the clock was ticking away.
In November 2008, I knew that I needed to do something. I decided to go back to Acubalance for physical and emotional support. Acupuncture has always made me feel better in both my body and my spirit. I also felt that it helped me stay fertile while we were on this journey because I didn’t’ know how long it would take to get pregnant again. I began seeing Alda Ngo for weekly treatments. Quickly my body started feeling and working better. My periods became more regular, my mucus abundant, I slept better and my chronic constipation began to go away.
At the same time, I returned to my ob/gyn and this time he agreed to testing. We found out that I was ovulating perfectly, but that there was scar tissue that may have been there for a long time, or could have resulted from the D&C. We also tested my husband’s sperm. It turned out that his motility rate was quite low, in fact so low that the ob/gyn wasn’t sure if we could get pregnant again. He referred my husband to a specialist for further testing. It turned out that he had two varicose seals.
I was booked for out patient surgery for my scar tissue. It was small but if we decided to pursue fertility treatments, this was the first step. In the meantime, my husband was on a waiting list for varicose seal surgery. The specialist however wasn’t sure that it would solve his sperm motility issues. In addition, we were told that his sperm production would be affected for three to six months following the surgery.
At this time, Alda, whom I continued to see every week, suggested that we meet with Dr. Beth Taylor at Genesis fertility clinic. She suggested I would greatly benefit from another opinion. My first meeting with Dr. Taylor was great. I felt that I was finally with someone who was looking at the whole picture and providing me with guidance as to what our options were. While she went over the opportunities available to us, she mentioned that we could try IUI first but that she wasn’t sure if my husband had enough mobile sperm for it to work. If it didn’t, then we would have no choice but in vitro as a fertility treatment.
I went for out patient surgery at the hospital and it went very well. Now we were waiting for my husband’s surgery.
Alda again had an excellent recommendation. Acupuncture has a great track record of helping men with all kinds of sperm issues so she suggested that my husband come for a six week program with Spence who works with many of the men patients at the clinic. My husband wasn’t too keen on the idea, so for my birthday, I asked him to come with me for six weeks as my present. I also thought that we had nothing to loose since the surgery didn’t offer any guarantees so I conducted research and we tried everything all kinds of things simultaneously. He took vitamins daily, drank ginseng tea, stopped taking baths, began wearing loose underwear and got a new seat for his bicycle. He’s been an avid cyclist for 25 years biking to work daily which probably contributed to the sperm situation.
At this point, I was starting to feel very good physically and also emotionally. In parallel to my body work, I realized that what I was fe...

OK, I just posted a research abstract that showed men that do not experience herpes symptoms may still have it in their semen, and that it negatively affects motility and morphology, thus causing infertility and poor IVF results. The herpes was interestingly more present in the semen in the winter months (study was done in Russia). With this information, it makes sense that all mens sperm that has lowered parameters should get their semen checked for herpes simplex virus,...and really give it the boy scout try to conceive in summer months!
Ask your doctor how you can get your semen check for herpes simplex virus. If it is present in many men without them knowing, and it damages sperm, then we can also conclude that if their wife actually does end up falling pregnant, that the damaged sperm most likely points to poor embryo quality from high % sperm DNA fragmentation rate, which will often result in miscarriage. Again, the evidence for further investigation of men is mounting daily, and the blatant ignoring of this side of fertility because their is actually no treatment for men (folks ICSI is not treatment) is unethical. Modern western medicine is again failing as leaders.
