I was diagnosed with menopause at 23 and premature ovarian failure by age 28. I was told my only option to get pregnant was using donor eggs. I didn’t want to accept this as the truth, especially because we didn’t have that kind of money…
In 2013, after 6 months of acupuncture and no natural period, we decided to move forward with donor embryos (a cheaper option). However, none of them survived the thaw. Six months later, after cashing out my husband’s retirement, we went forward with a fresh donor egg IVF. Unfortunately, it didn’t take. We had three embryos left. Two months later, we tried again but the transfer was cancelled the day before since my uterus wasn’t cooperating. This is when I decided to try the Fertility Cleanse…. At the end of the cleanse, I had a period naturally. I can’t remember the last time I had a natural period. We went in for another round of IVF and I’m ecstatic to announce we’re now 15 weeks pregnant!
