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 Fourth Trimester: Life After Birth
Congratulations, your baby is here! After nine months of pregnancy and the intensity of labor, you've finally met your little one. But the journey isn't over. Welcome to the "fourth trimester," the 12-week period immediately after you give birth. This is a crucial time of healing, bonding, and immense adjustment for both you and your baby.
While the focus naturally shifts to the newborn, it's vital to understand what's happening with the mother's body. Your body has just accomplished a monumental task and now begins a period of recovery. You can expect postpartum bleeding (lochia) as the uterus heals, afterpains (mild contractions) as it shrinks back to its normal size, and significant hormonal shifts. The rapid drop in pregnancy hormones can contribute to mood swings, tearfulness (the "baby blues"), and fatigue.
For the baby, this is a period of massive transition from the warm, dark, and quiet womb to the bright, loud world. Their main jobs are to eat, sleep, and grow, and they are completely dependent on you to meet their needs. The first few weeks are often a blur of feeding (whether by breast or bottle), diaper changes, and trying to decipher your baby's cues.
The fourth trimester is a time to be gentle with yourself. Prioritize these three things:
Rest:Sleep whenever the baby sleeps. Forget about household chores and limit visitors. Your only job is to recover and care for your baby.
Nourishment:Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals. Accept any offers of food from friends and family.
Support:Do not be afraid to ask for help. Lean on your partner, family, and friends. If you are struggling with your mood or feeling overwhelmed, talk to your healthcare provider.
This series has guided you from the first hormonal signals of conception to the final stages of labor. We hope it has left you feeling empowered and informed. This new chapter is challenging, beautiful, and fleeting. Embrace the snuggles, forgive the mess, and give yourself grace as you get to know your new baby and yourself as a new parent.
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.
