Chinese Accupuncture

[Briss]

these tablets sound awfully good, what are they? and what are the ingredients?

I urgently need to come up with a plan for the next cycle, my AF is due at the end of the week and I feel I will be crashed. I already decided that I will not be continuing herbs. shame to give up acu, it's so cheap in my current place but my right ovary is killing me, it's always so sensitive after acu it just feels like it's hanging by a thread and about to fall off or something. maybe I will try some other place. I think i may not need to have only reproductive points stimulated, maybe some other doc would find other points to needle which will have better effect. Also, i think I'll start ginseng from CD1.

Theres others with better pictures!

You sound determined....you must go with your gut feeling. I think using the advice set out in the pitchford book can help us choose the right foods/drinks which have similar actions as the herbs...i suppose the herbs are more direct but i think food and maybe the yoga/self administerd fertility massage can help alot but its just the self discipline involved which worries me.

but if you are not getting much from it i think its time for a break or change. Im going to give my one another 5 week package worth of treatment then think about the institute of chinese medicine.

Just been informed that dh is too tired to bd tonight.....

This ones better....has ingredients

 

[Briss]

impressive list! but actually I give most of the ingredients to my DH, I just buy them separately. before I need my DH to BD i give him 5 g of arginine quite often it works although looking at your temp you may have ovulated already. does not mean you cant enjoy yourself though

Short feedback for the "placenta hominis" - I've never had sooooo much eggwhite mucus!!! OMG! An ombudance of mucus!!! Had to wear thin pads for couple of days

I hope that it did some other good things in there, so I didn't drink that gross powder only for mucus

 

[FireBaby]

No way! Yay for the placenta tablets!!

 

[MalaMae]

I wish it was tablets It would have been SO much easier. I had to take powder

Briss - Hows your ovaries?

I managed to BD at 4.30am this morning and told DH on way to work that i would also require his services tomorrow morning. He looked quite sad when i told him this so probably wont happen. Im exhausted anyhow...always am around fertile time as always stressing about getting the BD in at the right time and therefore not sleeping.

I expect to get a temp rise tomorrow and feel i may have ovulated late yesterday but could have been today also....so probably no point in BD tomorrow.

Have been taking these keto-7 tablets and they [or maybe its something else] have really given me a mental lift...i actually feel quite positive about stuff...

 

[Briss]

MalaMae, powder sounds awful but great results! fingers crossed it'll do its magic.

Blythe, my stomach and other tummy bits are back to their normal self but my right ovary is still sensitive.

Your poor DH, well done for 4.30 am BD! the only way I can get my DH to BD at that time is just ride him while he is still sleeping… If possible it would still be good to get another BD session in but I think you've covered your basis pretty well for this cycle

I am seriously thinking about your keto-7 tablets I cant feel positive about anything and have not been able to for a while…

 

[Blythe]

Im reading a book called the tao of fertility....its ok some useful bits in it....will post some of the more useful titbits later.

FF has my ovulation before i got LH surge so i guess they got that wrong...will hopefully correct itself in a couple of days. No BD this am and im getting ovulation like pains

 

[Briss]

you missed one day so it makes it difficult for FF to pinpoint O, You probably O yesterday but I guess we'll just have to wait a few days.

Looks like an interesting book, I've accumulated the whole library of fertility books and with a section on Chinese medicine… I am actually beginning to think that TCM works better for those who have no idea how it works but just have a faith that's going to work.

 

[Briss]

I also read this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Fertil...85112/ref=pd_luc_sim_01_02_t_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Fertility Plan: A proven three-month programme to help you conceive naturally it's also based on Chinese teaching, I did not like it at first but after I read some other books I actually began to understand it more. She has a section of FSH results for example, which really explains how it is not indicative of your fertility (which I now know after spending hours and hours researching this issue) so I started to trust this book a little more

 

[Blythe]

yeah there are some good bits in that book....i remember the sunday times sunday style magazine did a double spread on her, her practice and this book...its set out all the different types...I'm 'tired'. The recommendations are pretty sensible...i started taking the royal jelly, wheatgrass, l-arginine as a result of this book. Although her recommendation re vitex/chaste berry were off for me as i did not like that herb at all. she has a section of fertility massage which i have yet to incorporate. Quite frankly i cannot be arsed...its enough to remember to take all supplements, try not too stress out and breath properly etc etc

had period pains all morning so expect that is ovulation or [hopefully] post ovulation pains.

Your temps look good...hope this is your cycle

 

[Briss]

I am between "tired" and "stuck", it must be just a name that relate to deficiencies in TCM?

I am happy with my post O temp apart from that dip in the middle, not sure what it was all about, I had something similar a few cycles back it dipped down below the cover line for a few days and then went back up again. I am so hoping for at a longer cycle, i mean BFP would be preferable but I am 2-3 days from AF and I can sort of feel its unwelcome presence.

So you got an opk positive on cd 10 or so and did not o until 17 wow..I have talked to some other women and they say they too have the wettest days way earlier then act ov..That can really mess a girl up think well tons of cm must be anyday now an d relaly its a week off.

Yeah i reckon so...its quite smart of her really as it makes it all so much more accessible. The tired one is for those of us with kidney yang deficiency IMO but happy to be corrected on this. Not sure about the stuck one though.

i have been getting really strong period pains...you know that sort of heat you get around your uterus area just before your period comes. I only ovulated a couple of days ago and ive been getting it quite strong so i guess it is something to do with ovulation. Do you get ovulation pains/cramping?

im hoping FF will correct itself on the O day tomorrow when i enter my temp as ive never ovulated as early as its saying now and i only got my LH surge after so it just does not make sense. Still back to the CM question...i always get loads just about 3 days after period has finished and then for a few days drying up a few days before ovulation....very frustrating!! i use conceive plus to help out though. To be honest im sure i would have been pregnant by now if we had more sex....we manage an average of 3 times around ovulation if lucky.....hoping all my supps and treatments will give me a BFP. I have just started 7-keto DHEA and i have to say so far so good. I feel much more lively and have some get and go back in my life and its only been a few days on the sups.

hows everything going for you alison?

 

[Briss]

Blythe, I only get ovarian pains during ovulation and sometimes in TWW, usually on one side but since I started acu my right ovary seems to be always in some sort of pain. I only get cramping during or just before AF like today btw nice temp spike

 

[alison29]

I go back and forth about the not enough bd, because of course my SIL got knocked up having bd once that entire month. What i really want is to get in the mid week bed i just dont' know how to motivate either one of us...

As for me right now I am feeding my dh L arginine 3 gs a day on empty stomach first thing in morning. I am taking it too on empty stomach with carb drink. I got AF a couple days ago and am waiting on records transfer from old clinic (could take 10-4 days)so my new dr can use them to try and get my Lap covered by insurance..After the transefer of records i should be able to sched the lap pretty quick the nurses said they are on it.
