I've Written a New Book

In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves a series of complex clinical steps that can be difficult for patients to fully understand while undergoing treatment. This guide provides a clear overview of the physiologic principles, treatment protocols, laboratory processes, and clinical decision points involved in modern IVF care. By translating reproductive endocrinology concepts into accessible language, the book helps patients better understand the procedures and discussions taking place throughout their treatment. It is designed to serve as an educational companion to the care provided by fertility specialists..

My name is Michelle Aukerman. And I just have to say that Joyce at True Health Acupuncture is probably the best ultrasound technician I have ever had in my life and I’ve been through several. She’s very personal and talks through everything and if something goes wrong, she says OK how do we make this right? What’s the next step we need to take? You don’t hear that from any other ultrasound tech, they're so jaded. The comfort environment at True Health Acupuncture is unmatchable. It does not feel like a doctor's office and everybody is so warm but when it comes to Joyce, she is completely unmatched. It’s like having your own mother right there with you. I highly highly recommend her.

Thank you, the Aukerman’s 


This is the second pregnancy that I came to Joyce for my outside monitoring.  I have been very nervous about the whole process, but  Joyce guided me through each and every ultrasound.  Although the monitoring went smoothly, upon achieving pregnancy I developed some bleeding.  Of course, I panicked.  Joyce explained everything that was going on with my bleeding and helped me through this anxious time.  I don’t know what I would have done without Joyce’s calm demeanor.  And the added bonus is having acupuncture treatment right there at True Health Acupuncture, the office Joyce works out of.  I will always be truly thankful for the amazing experience that I received from both Joyce and True Health to be a part of my fertility journey.

Joyce is an exceptional individual who made a significant impact during my IVF journey. I had the privilege of meeting her when I needed support, and she was able to perform ultrasounds when our IVF Dr was unable to accommodate us. Her ability to confirm our twin pregnancy was incredibly reassuring. Joyce took the time to explain everything she was observing, which not only made the experience more memorable but also helped alleviate my anxiety. Her compassionate approach truly made a difference in my experience.

The Journey

Our Journey Together: A Recap of Your Path to Parenthood

March 25, 20262 min read

Over the course of this series, we have embarked on an incredible journey together, tracing the path of life from a simple hormonal signal to the tender moments of new parenthood. Our goal was to demystify the process, replacing uncertainty with wonder and empowering you with knowledge. Let's take a moment to look back at the amazing road we've traveled.

Part 1: The Miracle of Conception

We began where all life does: with a spark. We explored the intricate hormonal conversation between the brain and ovaries—the command center that initiates the entire process. We followed the journey of a single egg during the follicular phase, culminating in the main event: ovulation.

Simultaneously, we saw how the uterus, through the influence of estrogen and progesterone, meticulously prepared a welcoming home. We learned that conception is a true partnership, following the sperm's marathon journey to meet the egg. Finally, we witnessed the magical moments of fertilization and implantation, and the surge of hCG that announces a new pregnancy with a positive test. This first half of our series revealed the perfect biological symphony that must occur just to begin a pregnancy.

Part 2: The Three Trimesters and Beyond

With pregnancy confirmed, we shifted our focus to the nine-month marathon of development.

  • The First Trimester: We navigated the critical early weeks, where the baby's entire blueprint is laid down. We celebrated the milestone of hearing the first heartbeat, all while managing the challenging symptoms of fatigue and morning sickness that signify the monumental work happening within.

  • The Second Trimester: We entered the "golden phase," a time of renewed energy and the first visible signs of a baby bump. We shared the excitement of the detailed anatomy scan and the magical, gentle flutters of "quickening"—the baby's first hellos.

  • The Third Trimester: We entered the home stretch, a time of rapid growth for the baby and final preparations for you. We discussed kick counts, Braxton Hicks, and the powerful "nesting" instinct. We armed you with the knowledge to recognize the true signs of labor, like the 5-1-1 rule, as your body prepared to bloom.

Finally, we welcomed you to the Fourth Trimester, the often-overlooked but vital period of recovery, bonding, and adjustment after birth.

From the microscopic to the momentous, every single stage is a miracle of timing and transformation. We hope this series has served as a trusted companion on your path to parenthood, giving you the confidence and understanding to embrace every step of your own unique journey. Thank you for walking this path with us.

Starting your cycle

Starting an IVF cycle is stressful enough, doing it with an out-of-state provider just increases that stress. That is why we have developed an out-of state monitoring program to help women that need ultrasound monitoring without having to travel to their provider. We follow your physicians instructions and with be able to accommodate your schedule. Most all cycles, whether retrievals or transfers, will need 2-3 ultrasounds during that cycle. All reports can be faxed or emailed to your physician within 2-3 hours after the exam is finished.
