Acupuncture - slippery pulse???

[mrs_lukey]

Today I am 9dpo and I had my weekly acupuncture appt. My acupuncturist told me that I have what is known as a "slippery pulse" which is a very good sign of pregnancy. I asked if it can be because I have a bit of a cold and she said that a slippery pulse taken on one side could be illness but to be so strong and on both sides she thinks it is pregnancy.

I'm now come home and googled this to find lots of people who say they have been told they have a slippery pulse and then got their BFP!!

Have any of you got any experience of this or advice???

To be honest I think that I'm out for this cycle now I was having some symptoms up until Thursday which have now just completely stopped. I felt very similar when I was last pregnant from about 3dpo so I'm sure we managed to catch the eggy - I just think it hasn't managed to implant.

I'm seeing my acupuncturist again on Tuesday and not due AF until Weds so I'll see what she says about my pulse again then, see if it has changed since Thurs.

We've been TTC for 2 years now so we have an appt at the fertility clinic in a week - fingers crossed they find something wrong that can be put right simply!! I hate the thought of unexplained infertility

i had my last session of acupuncture for this cycle weds ( a day before my period was due), and she took my pulse on each side and with wide eyes said ooooh thats an excellent strong slippery pulse you have their on both sides, i think you are pregnant and you should start thinking about names !!!.
Could this be right , i mean this was my first month of treatment and along with agnus cactus as well could she actually be right could i be pregnant .
I am too scared to test by the way but may have to go and get a test now , but am frightened its gonna be negative like always, as i only have a small boots near me to get a test from and i know they are 25 miu but at least i can try with one what do you all think any thoughts would be aprreciated going nuts here

 

[mrsdh]

Test!!!! Xxxxx

 

[inkdchick]

i want to but im too nervous too and i only have a boots test to use and aparantly they are not sensitive enough do you think it would show in the morning

 

[mrsdh]

I would think that's ok Hun, you are a day late now? I know what you mean about getting bfns I really have everything crossed for you this cycle though xx

 

[inkdchick]

well i have saved my pee and put it in fridge (apparatly it will be ok to test with before 12 hours have past), and will test when i get back from superdrug, when hubby gets up that is , i wish i knew now and then i could sort of relax either way i dont mind coz im sure acupuncture will work for us.
I bumped into my acupunture lady yesterday and she took my pulse again, ans she said it still strong and slippery and she is convinced we are pregnant and told me to so i suppose i better do as im told , so scared its gonna be neg tho xxx
have a good day hun

 

[mrsdh]

oh im sooo excited for you hun !!!!!!!!!!!! Im always wishing my acupuncturist would say the same when she feels my pulse but no luck so far! Good luck babes,will be back on soon for updates xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[inkdchick]

i did a this morning but it was negative and now i have mild period type aching so if i dont get my period by next weds and i still keep getting neg tests then i will go see the nurse for a blood test to confirm what my acupunturist keep saying that we are pregnant , just wish she could confirm it for us, i hate all this testing its a pain and upsetting when they come back neg and i cant stop eating. !

 

[mrsdh]

Oh Hun I'm sorry to hear it's a bfn I wonder what that was all about, your Acu lady feeling a slippery pulse? I know you can have one without being pregnant but she didn't feel one before so it's a mystery?? I know they say to give agnus castus 3 months for full effect so don't give up babes. Sending you a virtual hug xxxx

 

[inkdchick]

aww bless you , youa re so sweet thank you for my hug made me feel loads better and i think yeah in another couple of months on the agnus castus and acupunture. Maybe something tried to start but it just wasnt the right time but its ok im not in too much pain but i do have a really naggin headache tho cant take anymore tablets for it lol i'll rattle thank you hun xxxxx

 

[mrsdh]

know what you mean about the rattle!!! i take so many supplements and herbs im toxic!! Chin up babe, it will be your turn for a bfp very soon xxx
