 SHALANE’S STORY
My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for four years without success, suffering two miscarriages along the way. As a forty year-old career woman, I knew that the clock was not only ticking, but almost expired. I spoke to friends who had tried assisted reproductive techniques, but the medicines just sounded so toxic to me, so I opted to try a more natural approach first. After doing some research in the field of natural approaches to getting pregnant, one name kept coming up again and again - Dr. Rubio.
Despite my age, Dr. Rubio felt that I was in good health and all that was needed was for my body to get back in balance. He said that once my body was gently brought back in to balance with some lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, my body would do what it was made to do: conceive.
After a few months of weekly acupuncture visits and Chinese herbal medicine, my husband and I achieved goal: pregnancy. The fulfillment of this dream is only the beginning of the story however.
Although I was thrilled to be pregnant, I knew that there were serious possible risks associated with pregnancy in a woman my age. Also, because I had already suffered two pregnancy losses, I did not want to risk an amnio. Obviously though, I wanted to be realistic about the statistical situation in women over the age of 35. Dr. Rubio told us not to worry, that Chinese medicine had a long history of creating healthy babies and smooth pregnancies.
When I went for my first ultrasound and triple screen test, I was more than a little anxious. I needn't have been. My ultrasound was perfect, and my triple screen showed that my risk level was that of a 27 year-old! I am now about two weeks away from delivery and it has been a dream pregnancy. I am so thankful for Chinese Medicine and Dr. Rubio.
