Acupuncture Club 2012

[TWINKLES80]

Hi Ladies:

Was hoping some of you can chime in. I was pretty regular as far as o day and cds, but this month I got my opk + on cd17, it's cd19 and still no temp rise. Really really worried. Still hoping I wake up tomorrow with a temp hike, that's if I sleep tonite , since I'm worried. (Ps no erratic time changes for bbt)

Been on Chinese herbs and Acu, but my doc has given me some herbs for during o week, I want to trust her but can't stop worrying that it has something to do with this change?

Does anyone know if the lh phase changes if your o day changes? I believe your period day changes but sent sure if lh number of days changes?

Thanks in advance y'all.

Yup I am out, yet again and it's getting harder and harder to stay positive, but will try. Already contacted two local FS for a consult. Is it ok to visit both place before I decide? I want to get a feel for the place, doctor(s) and pricing ahead, if I can!! What else should I be asking?? Success rates are online, saw that.

Hi Natashaa1 thank you for replying.

Yes I've tried a low gi diet before, I follow my own diet now and I've lost 5 stone. I do need to lose more but I'm not very concerned.

I will look into acupuncture a little more.

Thanks again

Wow 5 stone that's amazing, would you mind telling me a little more about your diet I'd like to lose a few pounds. I'd recommend looking for a zita west affiliate or someone with specific fertility expertise. Since I've been having acupunture my cycles have become a lot more regular and it's really helped with my stress levels.

Twinkle As far as I know ov can change quite a lot.but lp stays pretty much the same maybe give or take a day.
Hope your temp jumps up tomorrow lots of luck.

Hey all, just checking in. I am about 10 or 11 dpo, been noticing some different things, then again, might just be Clomid or PMS who knows. After so many months, I am really having low hopes, although this month chances are better than ever I think. Used to have sore boobs after O, but not recently until now! Quite a bit too. Have been having white creamy CM since O, not too much but steady. Also, constipation, and some minor weird twinges on lower stomach today. And some strange dreams, difficulty sleeping, tired, and intuition/instincts. Will be testing soon...

Thanks lotus! Gives me hope baby dust to us all!

I can second the comment about LP staying the same. My Ov came a week late 2 cycles ago. But AF came exactly 2 weeks after Ov, so LP remained the same- it freaked me out also so I understand how ur feeling. I had just started Chinese herbs etc too & started wondering if they were to blame. However my next cycle was perfect! Infact it was better than its been in a long time, ie almost non existant PMS, AF was brighter & fresher (sorry TMI), & I had very little cramping. Usually AF disappears for a day or so midway, but not this time- it all just seemed better & healthier.

The weird cycle did stress me out though, so just hang in there!

Yes, definitely check out both FS!! You must feel comfortable with your FS in order to fully trust them. Good luck to you. I love my Fert. doc. she makes you feel like you can do this when you start to second guess yourself. How long have you been ttc?

 

[flagirlie7]

well I counted 17 months! since we got officially married in May 2011 (our real ceremony was super private just for us in February). Although, we had some cycles (and those were 1.5 months long on average) we did not have a good timing at all... so it really looks worse than it is i guess... I am honestly excited to have a doc that gives a crap, and wants to help me! not that my OB is bad, but yeah she is very limited. I know it will cost a fortune but I know it'll be worth it one day, i hope.

It will be worth it!!! The time and money we all have spent ttc only proves that it is worth it!!

 

[flagirlie7]

Flaregirl I must of missed your post about AF so sorry. Glad to know you are working on what you need with a fetility Specialist this sounds like a great plan. Best of luck for this coming cycle.

AFM I am 12dpo and due on Friday apart from tingly breast no other symptoms. I had a great Accu session yesterday I was visualising the baby inplanting deeper into my womb lining. Last week and this week I got needles in my scalp and yesterday even in my forehead around my 3rd eye area which I thought was cool lol. Just taking it a day at a time.

Glad you are enjoying your accupunture! I am trying to take that approach as well. One day at a time and relax! You are almost there!! I am currently 6dpo.

Ladies here is a little info about acupuncture and men.I am thinking. Having my husband go once a week for 10 weeks! Every 70 days new sperm is made. But I have a question may sound stupid lol with every day it has to match up from 70 days ago get it? Every day they make new sperm that's not what I'm undertsnading. Every day could make a 70 days ago right? Maybe I should do some research on it. But anyways my acupuncturist said their is a certain poimt on a mans boody that is designed to help with reproduction of sperm count. If we don't fall pregnant by christmas he will start in Jan

 

[Lotus Womb]

Mrs Hamstra let me know when you get that information. I have no idea.

Hope everyone doing ok.

Afm 14dpo and still waiting temps still up. Want to wait to 18dpo to test. I rarely get past 13 or 14 dpo so I am not sure. Some symptoms but just gonna wait a few days.
Will keep you posted I don't dare get even a little excited.

As for me. I have no symptoms but do have AF symptoms crampy, metal taste in my mouth, hungry like a horse. (I think the last one is due to the progestrone they put me on) my bb are not even sore.
