Hi there. I'm a newbie.
I do chiropractic treatments which have been known to help women get pregnant. After 8 years of being told we'd never do it, we ended up pregnant last June and I've done nothing different but several straight appointments of chiropractic treatment for several months. I did have a second trimester loss but it was due to an accident where I later lost my mucus plug and things snowballed from there. But the Chiropractic treatments were awesome. I'm doing them again this round.
I've also added deep therapeutic massage, my husband as a kind gesture does some acupressure on my feet and I take some herbs like Evening Primrose oil, Nettle leaf tea and red raspberry leaf tea which are taken at certain CD's and stopped.
Welcome Mommy! Sorry for your loss. How are you doing?
Do those chiropractic treatments have a special name? They sound promising. I take nettles and red raspberry leaf also in a tea form. I was told it was ok for my entire cycle (it is technically a pregnancy tea), but I only take up to ovulation just in case. When do you take yours and in what form
Hi there. Not sure if the chiropractic treatments really have a name..but I know he cracks the lower back near the ovaries. I have an issue where my uterus is tipped WAY back. They noticed it when I was pregnant. It didn't hurt anything...but I'm willing to bet it's part of the reason why it took so long to conceive. Even now during my first cycle of clomid, the left ovary is ALWAYS hard to find. Its always WAY back. So I'm wondering if the chiropractic treatments helped in realigning the uterus. :hmm:
I too take those herbs through tea and only until ovulation. Especially since we lost our son at 22 weeks gestation. I don't want to leave room for error here.
As far as how I'm doing...well. I guess like everyone else, my heart is broken. I was deeply angry at everyone for awhile. I decided to take that anger and do something with it. So I met with the Board of Directors at the hospital and am in the works to change some things around for bereaved parents.
I also have started a memory quilt in our sons name which is taking some time as it's a healing process for me.
I also plan to start a website up shortly for charity in our sons memory.
It feels so odd to ttc knowing we haven't even laid the headstone. While other parents celebrate their childrens special days...we're trying to figure out how to decorate his stone. Just a bitter sweet process. All our hopes and dreams for Jackson....well we've had to let them go.
Not a day goes by we don't dream of what he would have been like to play with or hold. But what helps me is knowing our son isn't in our past...but in our future. He's not dead...he's alive...he's just in heaven. So I move forward knowing I'll see and hold my baby again. That's my comfort through the tears ya know?
Thank you for asking.
I look forward to getting to know you all!

I am taking a much needed break
