Diminished Ovarian Reserve

“From the depths of despair to the heights of motherhood, my journey alongside Angela has been nothing short of miraculous. After enduring the heartache of unsuccessful rounds of IVF at 40 years old and a 9.5-week miscarriage at 41, I was left feeling lost, afraid, and hopeless. My doctor's recommendation to use donor eggs only deepened my sense of despair. I met Angela in this darkest hour.”

Embodied Fertility

“I sought out Angela because I was looking for an alternative to all the western medical chaos I was experiencing while seeking answers about my infertility. I was tired of feeling lost in a maze of fertility theories; tired of paying for various “experts” to tell me my infertility was unexplained; tired of being pressured to participate in IVF while no ne could tell me why I wasn’t getting pregnant; tired of being led down paths of medications, painful tests, mountains of supplements, and feeling more lost than ever; tired of trusting “the system” instead of my own intuition .”

Donor Cycles

“Angela Le and I met sometime in late 2008/early 2009. I was eagerly in search of any help and support that I could find. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for about three years, at the time. In November 2010, we had a donor IVF transfer, two weeks later, we received the news of our successful pregnancy. Needless to say, we were elated—particularly when we learned that I was carrying twins.”

Donor Cycles

“I was about to start my third round of IVF. This time my husband and I were relying on the assistance of an anonymous egg donor. To no surprise, I was an emotional wreck. Once I did get pregnant, Angela continued to be my support system. She listened to my concerns, shared in my excitement, and provided me with a wealth of knowledge regarding the testing as well as the physical and mental changes that accompany pregnancy. When I received some scary test results, I truly felt like she was just as concerned as I was.”

Donor Cycles

“I was at my wits end when I first met Angela. I was introduced by a mutual friend and I cancelled three times before I finally went to see her. I am a single woman who has been trying to get pregnant on my own for nine months with two unsuccessful pregnancies under my belt. Yet Angela not only became my acupuncturist, she became my therapist, my dietician, my cheerleader and my confidante.”

Donor Cycles

“I came to Angela one year ago at 43 after my first failed IVF cycle. It was a challenging introduction to the fertility world, which left me confused and overwhelmed. I am not the same person I was a year ago and that is largely due to Angela. She partnered with me through a very challenging process of becoming a parent but there is so much more.”

Donor Cycles

“Angela Le has been a gift and a blessing during the years of my quest to have a second child, which has been one of the most emotionally and physically challenging periods of my life. She is a remarkable presence, and a superlative practitioner, and her wisdom and perspective helped me transform the way in which I was approaching the treatment process.”

Unexplained Infertility

“My husband’s doctor referred us to Angela because they couldn’t point out the determinative factor causing our infertility. I was pretty open-minded because I had experienced acupuncture in the past and was willing to try anything. Angela helped me learn how to cope and gave me the nourishment and support I needed during that very trying time. For women trying to conceive, the pressure can be insurmountable. But more important than trying is taking care of oneself emotionally and physically.”

Secondary Infertility

“I came to Angela’s practice just about a year ago after trying to get pregnant for about 2 years. I had 2 children already, but felt strongly that I would like to have another child. The specialists were trying to steer me toward more intervention, particularly IVF, but I was pretty sure that I did not want or need to go that route. Within a few months, I became pregnant without any medical intervention.”

Secondary Infertility

“I always knew I wanted to have children. After finally meeting my husband when I was 38, I knew time was of the essence. The road to IVF became apparent after a miscarriage, which was followed by an ectopic pregnancy. We were very lucky to finally conceive our son during our second IVF cycle.. Through my journey, Angela gave me tremendous insight into so many things that I will take with me and use in all aspects of my life. I am a better mother, wife, and person because of her gentle guidance.”

Secondary Infertility

“When I first met Angela, I was trying to conceive after having had a miscarriage 6 months prior. As the months slipped away and I wasn't getting pregnant, I decided to explore Western and Eastern approaches simultaneously. I was very fortunate and after a few months of regular acupuncture sessions, some small dietary changes, 1 IUI and 1 IVF, I got pregnant.”

Secondary Infertility

“This empowerment has gone beyond pregnancy, it has brought abundance and prosperity to my family, friends, work, and myself. Embarking on my journey with Angela ranks among the most important milestones of my life, right along with getting accepted into Harvard and some prestigious jobs. My hope is that all women will be able to find the peace and truly fertile life that Angela helped me find.”

PCOS

“When I first went to Angela, I was very frustrated with our fertility problems and scared about embarking on IVF – not in a great place emotionally. Our frozen cycle was successful, and I am expecting my second baby in 6 weeks. Angela was incredible throughout both of my pregnancies, especially in the first trimesters when I had constant questions.”

PCOS

“Completely unsure what to do next, a friend recommended a visit to Angela Le. I knew the first time I met her that I had found the right path. My second month under Angela’s guidance, I menstruated on my own for the first time in 16 months (and after 10 years on birth control). During month 4, I discovered I was pregnant. It was unbelievable news. My body truly needed to be ready on its own time.”

PCOS

“Angela taught me how every life experience adds to personal fulfillment. Welcoming the good, the bad, the happy and the sad moments has created balance in my life. She has taught me the importance of understanding and respecting my body. This knowledge has given all my personal and professional relationships a foundation to grow stronger. Life has become more effortless as I become more knowledgeable and confident in myself.”
