Luteal Phase Defect & Profuse Menstrual Bleeding

“ I came to Dennis because I had been trying to conceive my second child for over a year and a half with no success and was suffering from alarmingly profuse bleeding during my periods. Dennis recommended a change in diet and treated me with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Two months into the treatment, the bleeding improved substantially, and my level of energy increased consideralye. A short while later, I conceived a beautiful baby girl.”

“I also credit Dennis for having correctly diagnosed the onset of obstetric cholestasis during my preganancy, a condition that my obstetrician overlooked but later confirmed. This condition if left undetected could have ended in stillbirth. Dennis also taught me, my husband, and a friend who were present at the birth very useful acupressure points which relieved pain during labor”

Support for IUI

“After trying unsuccessfully to conceive a child over the course of 14 months, I went to see Dennis Barrow for advice and treatment. He did and in-depth analysis of my physical and mental health status, discussed various treatment options with me, and proceeded to do aucpuncture work that would be complimentary to the western medical fertility treatments I was receiving. After our initial consultation, I had complete confidence that Dennis had a protocol in mind that would help me achiever my goal of becoming pregnant. His assessment of why I wasn’t conceiving (after 2 previous IUI treatments, and his plan of action, just made perfect sense. It was a great relief to hear someone tell me that there were chronic health issues that might be affecting my ability to conceive, after spending months not understanding why things weren’t working. Several acupuncture visits later, timed to assist my fertility treatments, and I was pregnant.”

 

is & IVF at Age 42

Trying to get pregnant and navigate through the world of IVF can be very stressful.

Dennis’ guidance and application of acupuncture, diet and herbs provided the perfect prescription to help me conceive. It also provided me with a stronger sense of self confidence and hope in an otherwise technical process where one feels like they have little control of the outcome. It is very clear to me that TCM and acupuncture has provided the perfect approach to allow me to play a significant and successful role in our own conception process.

Having been through 4 surgeries for endometriosis and finally coming to my senses at 4,1 I feel very fortunate to have found Dennis. How many people can say they generated 42 eggs in one retrieval cycle and ended up with more than 20 grade one embryo's? I attribute this success to Dennis’ support, a good healthy diet, a positive attitude, yoga, moderate exercise and a little luck.
