Infertility Testimonial |
My husband and I decided to have a child in 2004. The conception, pregnancy and labor all went well and just as expected. When our son was 15 months old, we decided to try for our second child. We conceived the first month we tried. Unfortunately, the baby was measuring a week behind what he/she should have been and I miscarried at around nine weeks. According to my OB/GYN, two-thirds of all pregnancies do not make it to term and he was not alarmed. He recommended that we wait three months before trying again. We followed his recommendation and were again able to conceive the first month we tried. This baby was also measuring smaller than he/she should have and for the second time in six months, I miscarried before nine weeks. This time the tissue was sent for genetic testing. The results came back 46XX, which was either a girl with all her chromosomes or it was my tissue that was tested. My OB/GYN sent us to a fertility specialist. We attempted three IUI cycles without success. The first IVF cycle was successful and after eight weeks, I was released to my OB/GYN. Unfortunately there was no heartbeat and I again miscarried before nine weeks. The tissue sample came back 46XX. After three months, I was back with the fertility specialist. Throughout the time with the specialist, every test came back normal. No was able to pinpoint a cause for the miscarriages beyond being over 35 years old.
A friend of mine suggested acupuncture. During the second IVF embryo transfer, I asked my doctor his opinion about it. Everyone in the room (the doctor, embryologist, and nurses) said, “Can’t hurt”. The policy in their office was not to suggest acupuncture unless the patient brought it up. Although it is ideal to begin acupuncture prior to embryo transfer, I began the process three times per week with Sheng Li Wang. The IVF cycle was again successful. For the first time since the three prior pregnancies, I was able to carry a child beyond nine weeks. I wish I had been aware of acupuncture earlier. Perhaps, I would not have miscarried three times. With Sheng Li Wang’s assistance, I was able to maintain this pregnancy to term and gave birth to beautiful baby boy!! We are extremely thankful!

Infertility to Baby Boy |
My husband and I started trying to conceive in January 2004. We didn’t become pregnant until April 2007 and our son was born in December 2007.
Once my husband and I came to and passed the “normal” six-month recommended time allowance for conception, I started doing research: We did what all the books said and altered our diets, reduced our alcohol consumption (which wasn’t very high to begin with), I monitored my body temperature (Basal Body Temperature Method) and nothing worked!
I read some information that said acupuncture and Chinese herbs can improve your chances of becoming pregnant with assisted reproduction treatment. We went to Sheng-Li Wang’s office then my husband and I found a fertility center. This fertility center was supportive of the idea of couples using acupuncture and Chinese herbs in addition to assisted reproduction techniques.
We decided only to have three IUI treatments and nothing more. If we still didn’t conceive, we would then talk about adoption or living without a child of our own. Fortunately, it never came to that: the first IUI treatment was unsuccessful. The following month we had the second IUI treatment and that one was successful. I asked the infertility doctor ho common it was for an IUI to “take” after only two attempts and she said it was very uncommon and she suggested that the acupuncture and herbs contributed to his success.
I continued the acupuncture with Sheng-Li Wang for the duration of my pregnancy and had no complications and minimal discomfort during the pregnancy; my labor and delivery was quick and easy – it lasted 7-1/2 hours from start to finish. The labor and delivery nurse at the hospital was surprised at how quickly it had progressed especially since this was my first child. Our son was small (just under 6 lbs) and three weeks early but he is health and growing more each day!
I credit Sheng-Li Wang and his staff for helping us achieve a pregnancy without any complications as well as an easy labor and delivery, with the end result being a very healthy baby boy! Thank you for everything.

David & Sandy Baby Story |
We'd tried two in-vitro fertilization treatments with no success before our doctors recommended Dr. Wang. We saw Dr. Wang two or three times before the next implant, and guess what? Our beautiful twin girls were born before Thanksgiving. Thank you Dr. Wang.
