Hope for the Infertile

Infertility is one thing that I have never had to deal with. I always been "blessed" and never experienced the pain that other women in my church felt. There were even a few women that resented my sister and I for our ability to conceive, have a baby and revert to a size 3/4 without any exercising or diet. I had one friend that suffered through a lot of procedures to try to conceive a child with her husband. She was severely overweight which didn't help the situation either. Her team of doctors reminded her often.

Her desperation to conceive led her to many specialists, tons of medical bills and regualr procedures that drained the couple physically and emotionally. She told me about the different shots, pills and diets she endured to conceive. Couples are now resorting to alternative treatments for infertility that seem to be working. Acupuncture and other forms of Chinese medicines are treatments practiced at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness. For more information about this form of treatment, visit the blog http://www.berkleycenter.typepad.com/.

The suffering of those trying to conceive when others just blink and it happens, is unnerving. I have a couple of close friends who faced this difficulty and chose different paths, 'treatment' for one and adoption for another.
Best wishes
