But even after the infection cleared, I still wasn't getting pregnant. My cycles felt off: irregular, light bleeding, and awful premenstrual tension every month.

I'd done all the tests, tried timed intercourse, and was starting to think about IVF. But something in me wanted to try a different approach first. I felt disconnected from my body—like it had become a problem to fix rather than something I could trust.

Over four months, I had regular acupuncture and took herbs as prescribed by Julie. Slowly, things started to shift. My cycles became more regular, and I was actually having a proper period. The premenstrual symptoms eased. I started to feel more like myself again.
By the end of the fifth month, I was pregnant—naturally.

Julie's expertise and genuine care made all the difference. Without her expertise, we would have jumped straight to IVF, and the chances are it may never have worked for us.
