I Got Pregnant Naturally with High FSH (Part 2)

After having my first child I waited a little over a year to try to get pregnant again.  I stopped breastfeeding and returned to Dr. Zhou before trying anything else.  She began the acupuncture once a week and instructed me to drink the herbal teas twice a day.  Although my period had been regular while breastfeeding, once I stopped it became much more irregular.  I feared what the doctors had told me, that premature ovarian failure was causing symptoms of early menopause.  Nevertheless, I followed Dr. Zhou’s advice.  About three or four months later I ovulated on Day 25 of my cycle, assuming I had missed the chance to get pregnant.  To my surprise, a couple weeks later I found out I was pregnant.  I continued going to acupuncture until the baby’s heartbeat was visible.  I delivered another healthy baby boy at 37.5 weeks.  Needless to say, if I decided to try to have another child, I would return to Dr. Zhou immediately.  I cannot thank her enough.  Without her, I would not have my two wonderful children.
