Aquilia Acupuncture Healthcare Patient
At the time of trying for our baby, I was working and commuting into London, work was long hours in a fast paced stressful clothing industry. I realised that I needed to move my work closer to home, before we began to try again
I was suffering from depression at this point. It was something that I had never experienced before.
We started trying again a year later. I had researched all of the different fertility tracking methods, and any “techniques” and educated myself.
However, after 5 months of not falling pregnant, I started to think that actually, this may not be as simple as we both thought. It wasn’t until a year later when we sought help from the NHS. After doing a number of blood tests, ultrasounds, and other checks we were told by a gynaecologist specialist that we may be struggling to conceive because of my high FSH levels, and very low AMH levels for my age 30.
This meant my eggs weren’t in the best condition to be able to conceive, and we were advised we may need IVF to help.”
