Acupuncture anyone?

[Jen1802]

Hi Holls & Jen -

I have put that book on my wish list and will buy it at the end of the month when I get paid.
Having a sad day today - just feel like crying and having a lay down but am at work. Bloody hormones on clomid !!!
Saw my SIL last night who is 7 months preg and looking great - pleased for her but it does got you sometimes. I didnt sleep much last night & feel really anxious too.
Never mind hopefully feel better later .
Big hugs

Aw Jocr! I know how you feel, my sil is trying for another at the moment and I suspect she'll fall pregnant again really easily like the last time and before me. I know I'm going to find it tough when I hear the news, especially if I'm not pregnant myself by that time. Its hard to be properly happy for others when you're feeling sad for yourself. Hope you're feeling ok!

Holls we don't have community acupuncture over here. The tcm doctors we have in Northern Ireland all trained in China, they're qualified medical doctors that have specialised in tcm. They've since come over from China to set up practices here. The way she's focussing on your insomnia first is what I meant about it being holistic. That's brilliant, though if it were me I would be telling her to get cracking on the fertility stuff too...patience was never my strong point Well I'm still taking my herbs....god they really are disgusting! I'm also on herbal pills as well as the tea...they look like little black ball bearings! Least they don't taste bad! xo

Mine trained in China too, but in the US and Canada we have community acupuncture which I guess is pretty common in China. Anyway, they treat everyone in a cozy room all at once, so that's why it's so much cheaper because they can treat more than one or two people in an hour.

Yes, I love the holistic aspect! It all makes so much sense. I know it's hard to wait for the fertility stuff

Aww Jocr- I know how you feel. It is so hard! I always feel I have so much pressure to get pregnant- my husband is the oldest of 12 and his sister has baby every year! It's no fair. The acu will help you, are you doing the herbs too?

 

[Jen1802]

Aw right...no they don't do that here. Pity as it would be cheaper! xo

Hi Ladies

I found a community place in London near my work and they sound so lovely on the phone i think im gonna give it a try
https://www.onespaceacupuncture.com/

i googled community acupuncture uk and loads of places came up

 

[Jen1802]

That sounds promising Mrs Evans! I'd def go for it especially if its cheaper! Well girls I think I'm actually going to ovulate tomorrow! Have all the signs SHOW cp and ewcm. Maybe I haven't missed out this month after all! Woohoo! Will bd the next few days in hope but I reckon my lp will still be 28 days and I'll have to hope that ovulation will be brought forward next month by the acupuncture! Here's hoping anyway!! xox

Yay! Everyone should check into community acupuncture- it's so awesome! They all practice TCM and have herbs the same as other places.

Jen- maybe the herbs herbs and treatment will still save you for this month! You never know

Definitely try it! I love the place I go to Can't hurt anything! This place should also be able to tell you where there are other community clinics in the UK. They're a tight knit group!

Holls – thanks . Good thinking to ask if the community place that Mrs Evans is going to have info on other places in the uk.
Thats exactly it – so much pressure from people including myself and it just gets harder each time another family member or friend gets preg. Makes you wonder if it will ever happen. Think positive I know.
I'm not on any herbs. I remember having them 10 years ago – I can still taste them.

Jen – Arr thanks – its good to know we all have each other for support.
Get bonking and fingers crossed for you.

MrsEvans – cool, I hope you can get in with them, will save you a few quid. Will you ask please if they know of any others in the south of England if you remember please?


I'm feeling much better today – phew!
Am 5dpo, so keep um crossed for me ladies, i need that this month.

Just have to get through difficult in law meeting up tonight then will go home to relax.
Hope you all have a lovely evening

Hi guys

Hope you're all surviving your various stages of your cycles!!

I am 8dpo, crazy with symptom spotting/analysing...

Anyway, heading back for session 2 of acupuncture on monday ,really looking forward to it!

Mine hasn't mentioned herbs as yet but there is another one i've seen that is basically a shop filled with various herbs, the guy in that may be worth havin a chat with at least for getting herbs!

Do you guys get told the name of the herbs or is it just a case of "swallow this"?

^ I'm not on the herbs yet either. They wanted a look at my current TSH levels before they prescribed anything, and I just got those last week.

I have my bi-monthly appointment tomorrow, and I'll bring in my TSH results. Maybe it will change the acupuncture locations or they might include herbs. This will be session #3 for me. I had a mid-cycle bleed after session #1, and I'm hoping that my cycle sort of self-corrected, if it had been off a bit. I'm still at the TCM school, by the way.

Has anyone tried Tui Na massage?

 

[Jen1802]

Nessie I'm on powdered herbs and there is a list of ingredients on it but I couldn't tell you the percentages. The pills however can be bought from an online shop but I think the powdered version pack the most punch! Either both got me my first bfp! If you can do both, the herbs and acu combo just speed up the process of healing and balancing. Get the Randine Lewis book called The Infertility Cure for more info! I can't recommend it enough!! So I def ovulated today girls! I'm doubting a bfp this month as again my lp will be far too short but I'm hoping next month the acupuncture and herbs will bring forward my ovulation again! Can't wait till my next session on Monday!! xo

 

[Jocr]

Hi all - I have been given a link to a website that shows you where all the communial places are for acupuncture https://acmac.net/acu/clinics - my nearest is still about 35 miles away so a bit too far to justify the fuel.

Nessie - I love that pic of your cats.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Im off to the vitality show in London, so looking forward to that.

I think the witch might have got me this month. I don't think I'll even waist a test, not unless I'm late. Oh well, I wasn't expecting it to work the first time! Now I can get on with the rest of my tests and push forward. Still confident that bfp will be here soon

Jocr- stinks that it's 35 miles away! I wondered about that. I thought of trying to look for some for you but I'm not in the UK so I couldn't be much help Have fun in London! I would LOVE to visit there someday, other than the airport! Are you going to get the lap procedure? My RE said they might do that to me too.

Jen- yay for ovulation and for You really love that book! I might have to cave and get it

 

[Jen1802]

LOL, yup I love that book!! Its like my fertility bible, haha! Thanks for the link Jocr, the nearest place to me is Dublin and that's still over a 100 miles away! LOL. Oh well will just have to suck it up and pay the money! I'd love to go and retrain in acupuncture and reflexology but the thought of more studying makes me feel exhausted! How is everyone else getting on? Its mother's day next weekend but dh is working so I've suggested he take me out this evening for dinner instead...we'll see if he takes the hint! lol. xo

 

[holls147]

Yes- let's hear some more stories about everyone's acupuncture journeys!
