Infertility Awareness Month

There are two main reasons we appreciate NIAW (National Infertility Awareness Week – April 20 - 25):

1. Infertility can feel like lonely and isolating but you are NOT alone! One in eight couples in the United States struggles to build a family. They range from your friends, coworkers, neighbors and family members.
2. Offers hope by building a community. 

Because infertility can be so devastating and overwhelming we find that hope is one of the most precious things that we can offer our fertility patient. We know the statistics can seem dire at times but there is reason for hope. Statistics improve when you stick with it and hope because as you get healthier physically and mentally with Chinese medicine and lifestyle practices, your odds go up.

Chinese medicine isn’t just about acupuncture and Chinese herbs, it is lifestyle medicine. How you live affects your health and these are aspects of your health we can work on.  We are here to help you with the physical aspects of the medicine (the herbs, the acupuncture) but also be that much needed cheerleader when you begin making these healthier choices because change can be hard and when you have support, anything is possible. 

Infertility is so common and the struggles are shared by many. If you have a story to tell, feel free to send it and we can post it (with or without your name), to give hope or at least to let people know that they aren’t alone.

Let’s shine a light on infertility and support those struggling during this week and every week.
