Acupuncture Club 2012

[flagirlie7]

I stopped drinking coffee and all caffeine stuff last cycle after my acupuncturist said so. Something about miscarriage, which I really don't need to increase the chance of, due to my PCOS. I do have a cup here and there before O though...

4th session tommarrow will be cycle day 14 . OPKs still negative FX I ovulate this cycle
otherwise start clomid next month .

 

[MrsHamstra]

thats why i got off of clomid it made them SOO Painful before my period. and I do not drink caffeine the mountain dew was because of pizza cause we were moving. I dont drink koolaid or pop or lemonade, or juice. I dont really drink it even if its in the fridge. I love water and milk those are the only liquids that i drink and i drink lots of water daily. i thought it was funny tho that i ended up drinking pop the few days before my period is due and it tends to make it worse lol!!!

ALSO STILL NO SIGNS OF AF!!! Some twinges here and there BUT NO CRAMPS!!! BBS are sore now to the front and not so much the sides, sides are still achey just not killin me. AF the last cycle showed up in the evening for some reason and EVERY SINGLE other Cycle started between this time frame almost on the dot jan feb april 9am then may june 5am-6am aug 6pm!!! So I have lots of creamy cm HAVE NOT TESTED!! so we shall see what tonight brings.

 

[MrsHamstra]

moose how long have you been doing the accu? give it time for your body to be corrected and help with egg production before getting on clomid.

 

[Cgreel]

I go tomorrow for my 4th acupuncture visit. Just curious if anyone has done the acupressure vs the puncture (no needles)? The lady I go to offers both and she seems to favor the pressure vs using the needles. I did the acupressure the first time and its this probe that she puts in the same spots as she would the needles but it only takes like 30 seconds on each spot. I don't know if its my mind playing tricks on me but I seem to feel the needles work better. The lady that I go to is very into 'holistic healing' so she leaves my needles until 'my body doesn't resist' her taking them out...which was 1 1/2 hours last time! Just curious how long everyone else usually leaves them in for?

I have done accupressure. I liked it but I think everyone is different. My session have never lasted 1 1/2 hrs though. I go to my guy because my insurance pays for most of it. The other place I wanted to go to was 65 dollars a SESSION!!! YIKES!!

Hi Flagirlie - I also have PCOS. I have tried to cut out all caffiene as well. It is hard!! I started drinking spearmint tea because I read that it can lower the level of testerone in your body. We shall see this month though. My doc has also put me on a new pre natal with extra biotine in it. It is huge like a horse pill but she said it might help with some of the symptoms of PCOS.

Thursday ay 8:38 i started spotting and then at 12:55am i got up to pee cause i fell asleep on the couch and AF did indeed show!! went to my accu sessing the next day or i mean yesterday and I told her THANK YOU!! and she said for what, my periods werent healthy looking, they always have been a DARK color and My periods are always so MISERABLE and very very crampy and bloated! Thursday night I had no idea that she was going to show cause i didnt really have cramps and i am on CD2 now and i still dont even feel like I am on my period and i KNOW for a fact that its the accupuncture working. and my flow is good and the color sorry not to gross anyone out but its no longer DARK!!


Quick question, I go twice a week and i get the electric done not sure how different it is from needles but mon ill feel it stronger in a place than i did before and then fridays visit wont feel it at all in that place i felt it strong before and it will be stronger in another point. like last monday the strongest i felt it was my ovaries and i never feel it in my ankles ever, well yesterdays session I FELT IT in my ankles the most it was the strongest ive ever felt it in that spot. my thinking is what ever area "Needs IT" the most is its clearing out the bad stuff i guess anyone get that?

so glad to hear your def. seeing results!!!!

 

[MrsHamstra]

so yesterday i had a session and it was on the same charge and she did the points on my back and it SHOCKED me not bad just scared me cause i wasnt expecting that, and she said did it hurt and i said no. just thats what i mean by i feel it stronger in some points and then it switches on me to a different place. CD6 and i was still spootting this afternoon seems to be good now. my period is longer which isnt bad but it usually is on 3.5 days if lucky it comes back for one more day and its gone at the end of the 4th day. Hubby isnt liking this very much he keeps asking when we can play and i keep telling him soon, but she is still here. we usually play the 4th day lol. she only wants to see me now once a week and not 2 x a week...so we shall see how much longer i have to wait for my BFP!!

 

[flagirlie7]

i changed my appt from yesterday to this saturday, coz i just ovulated, i think (still not 100% sure). but i feel i need to relax! i pay 70 for each session, hence me only going twice a month is a good idea here

 

[moose31]

[Juniperjules]

Hi ladies! Thought I'd jump in here with my story!

I've been going to see a Chinese medicine practitioner since just before my last cycle began. This lady is a specialist in fertility & women's health. She has a fantastic success rate & helped my friend get her BFP after 5 years trying, clomid & 1 failed IVF. That friend now has 2 kids!

So I decided I'd go see her as I'm 37 almost 38. I haven't had any testing & neither has my OH. We are getting tests done this cycle though just incase.

I'm in my 2nd month of taking herbal pills & herbal tea, & I'm having weekly acupuncture also. Tomoro I'm up to number 3.

So far I already see & feel differences... My AF was better, ie it was bright red, fresh looking, barely any clotting (TMI!), & lasted for 5 days. Usually it has been disappearing for a day or two in the middle. My PMS symptoms were almost non existent this month also- which was great. I got a positive OPK yesterday & had LOTS of EWCM about 1 & 2 days before. But I've also been drinking loads of grapefruit juice too so that's maybe worked for the CM.

Just hoping all of these things help me get my BFP soon!
