This is Dr. David Cherry, and I want to let you know that you are not alone in your fertility journey. Infertility can be the most devastating and stressful diagnosis a person, or couple, can receive. Most of us assume, from the time that we are children, that we will eventually have our own children, and grow our family over time.
Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to symptoms associated with cancer.
Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor's office, but they won't. The acupuncture intake process will involve questions about your current state of health, past illnesses, and family history. Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing powers, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions.
Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor's office. They won't. Acupuncture uses hair-thin, flexible needles that you will hardly feel when inserted. When the needles are gently stimulated, they may produce a unique sensation that Asian medicine calls de qi.

We're so grateful and blessed to have our IVF son born last week. We didn't think we were ever going to be parents while going through this hard process. We had to do two rounds of egr retrieval but thank God the first transfer was a success! Our son is healthy and beyond adorable! Big thanks to Dr. Cherry and staff for helping me succeed. I did accupunture on the day of the egg transfer and I really think it helped! I also did it through out pregnancy and felt pretty good and now have a healthy baby!
