I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 18 and spread to bones. After surgery, chemotherapy and five years on Tamoxifen, I went into a chemically-induced early menopause.

I was told that it was very unlikely that I’d ever be able to have children without IVF. At the age of 33 I decided that I wanted to try for children as I had just been told that my cancer was genetic and could affect my ovaries.

Tests revealed I had very high FSH levels, too high to be considered for IVF. A friend who had seen Dr. Zhao and had a successful pregnancy recommended I give acupuncture a try.

After six months of acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment from Dr. Zhao, my hormone levels had improved remarkably and I was ready for IVF. However, I continued my treatment with Dr. Zhao and a few months before I was due to start my first cycle of IVF, I discovered I was pregnant naturally. My specialist was astonished yet extremely delighted for us.

I had a very healthy pregnancy with no morning sickness and I now at 34 have a beautiful baby daughter who is a total miracle. She is a dream come true.

I cannot thank Dr. Zhao enough for all her support, guidance and care but above all, expertise. I highly recommend her to help you achieve pregnancy.
