After about a year and half of trying to be pregnant, I was getting dejected and in despair living in this limboland cycle after cycle. I went to doctors for various treatments and with each failed cycle I was disillusioned with the way things were going. Being from India originally I am aware of holistic treatments where the whole body and mind are treated for a particular problem, whereas with western medicine the individual problem is treated. It wasnt possible to find a Ayurvedic or Homeopathic treatment here and that's when by God's grace I became aware of Accupuncture treatments. I called a good number of accupuncture clinics.. but the reviews posted here below me gave me the needed encouragemnt to choose TCRA. I was relieved to find they had a location in Plano and that the accupuncturist was Emily (I wanted someone to whom I can communicate clearly to)\r

Though I had a positive approach to trying accupuncture it is still a new and unknown thing to me, but from the very first session I noticed so many changes in me.. The first session I had 'bloackages' removes from my tummy area... everytime Emily pressed my tummy I had pain... and she found the appropriate accu point to counter that and with the next deep press of the tummy the pain was gone! Really surprised me. With the positive first session, I had little hesitation in making the decision to invest in a 2 month treatment.\r

The accupuncture treatments that followed under Emily's care, along with following her diet recommendations had a positive effect on my overall well being, much lesser stress and a general positivity. \r

Other things to keep in mind is that if you are not going for completely natural conception, then clearly understand what medications you are taking prescribed by your Ob/Gyn or your RE, so that you can communicate that clearly to Emily and then your treatments will not clash. If you are taking medications to suppress ovulation, then its no good to do accu treatment FOR ovulation. So whatver medications you are taking clearly find out what EACH ONE is supposed to do and how each medicine is supposed to affect your cycle or body. Western treatment and accupuncture can definitely go hand in hand in complete harmony..\r

Emily is genuinely caring. Sometimes you may want to talk things out but dont want to disclose things to people in your family and friends circle. With Emily its just you both in the circle so you can disclose EVERYTHING and talk things out.\r

The office (on dexter dr, plano tx) is a very clean and calming place.\r

Anyway, longstory short, I am now pregnant with twins during the third month of my treatment! I just finished my first trimester treatments and absolutely no morning sickness inspite of the high hormone levels that come with carrying twins.\r

I will defintely miss going there.... I absolutely recommend this clinic and accupuncturist... Seriously awesome!
