It is thanks to Siobhan’s wonderful help that my husband and I have our two lovely children.
Our first baby daughter was born after 4 years of trying to concieve. I was 36 when she was born. It was our second IVF. The first one had yielded no eggs and I subsequently had a Low AMH level of 1.4pmol/l. A very low reading indeed.
I started attending Siobhan after our first failed IVF. I had acupuncture with Siobhan and was also brewing up her lovely herbs. After 6 months of treatment Siobhan suggested that I was healthy enough to give IVF another shot. Despite my original clinic declining to treat me because of the AMH result, we moved to a larger clinic. The consultant advised us that the chances of success with IVF were slim and gave us a 5% success rate. I embarked on a short protocol IVF cycle with a dosage of 600 puregon, the highest they can give.
At egg collection 6 were collected. 2 were empty, 1 was immature and of the remaining 3, 1 fertilised. This was transferred 2 days later and early the next year (2011) our daughter was born.

In January 2012, I had my AMH repeated; the result was 0.23 pmol/L. I then had another IVF cycle in February 2012 and again 6 eggs were collected. This time 2 fertilised and were transferred but it did not result in pregnancy. I did not have any herbs or acupuncture in preparation for that IVF.
In August 2012 after a break from treatment, my husband and I went back to Siobhan It was the first time my husband sought treatment as we never had any reason to suspect he might have an issue. Well after 2 months we conceived naturally. Unfortunately this ended in miscarriage, but to have conceived naturally was in itself a great achievement for us. It is undoubtedly because we both were having treatment.
In January 2013 I got my AMH repeated, in the same Dublin IVF Clinic. The level was now 3.17 pmol/L. Siobhan has a copy of both my AMH levels (for refernce). I can only put this rise in my AMH level down to taking natural herbs and treatment by Siobhan.
I got pregnant again naturally in March 2013 and my very healthy baby girl was born at term in December 2013.
I can heartily recommend that any couple with fertility issue see Siobhan and allow her to help you in any way she can, with or without clinical treatment.
