I had an acu appointment today. She really did not place many needles at all. I got one needle just under my belly button, a couple in my feet, a couple in my lower leg, one in my wrist and my forehead, and that was it.
One weird thing was that after she felt my pulse she asked if I had been having any trouble with my sinuses. I have had no problem with them at all and I am still trying to figure out what the connection is?
I was really in a very sudden terrible mood today. At the beginning of our session, she asked me how I was doing and in a split second I decided to lie and say I was fine. I'm kicking myself because I know I should have said something but I didn't feel like talking and wanted the appoiontment to be over with. After she put the needles in I just felt so sad and started crying. I was so so moody today. It feels like PMS but AF is not due for over a week.
After I was done she massaged my wrists, hands and feet. She has never done that before. I wish I knew more about what is going on. I am a little afraid because I am still on the Jia Wei Xiao Yao San which is supposed to help with anxiety and PMS type symptoms, but I'm still in a PMSy mood days before I'm supposed to feel this. I am really dreading what type of state I will be in when as it gets closer to the time she is supposed to come. Hopefully I will be in a better state to talk with my acu about it at that time!
Hi Ladies... Congratulations to everyone who has gotten their
..
I was just wondering, i have my first round of Acupuncture this Friday.
What should i expect apart from being prodded with needles?? Where do they get placed??
Hi WeeNat! Welcome!
At my first session, my acu asked me a whole bunch of detailed information about my cycles and health in general. That took about 30-45 minutes. She also looked at my tongue, which she still does at the start of every session.
Different acus have slightly different styles. I usually get needles in my feet and lower leg, wrists, hand, ears and forehead. These needles will change depending on where I'm at in my cycle. At the end of the session, I get a massage at certain areas of my body.
I know you will enjoy it and I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!!

I used ICs when I was TTC the first time around and they always gave me a much fainter line than the store brands so I'm sure you'll get a darker line when you test tomorrow! Are you going to continue to go to acu during your pregnancy??
The problems I'm having are basically my periods are getting super short and light (2 days), I have lots of spotting before and after and a lot of pain with af. Also, I'm constanly hungry. I have to eat every couple hours or I get all shaky and lightheaded. It's something I've mentioned to dr's and they brush it off. Anyway - it's worth a shot. I do find I feel less hungry/shaky when I eat fatty things. Funny though eh?
Everyone...
