LTTTC | Unexplained Infertility | Failed Fertility Treatments | Going Au Naturale

[10yearsago]

I have been TTC for years now. I also did not pay attention to ovulating for many many months either up until the past 9 months or so but I was reading the tests wrong too UGH! I have done 2 rounds of chlomid with failed IUI's. This month I am not doing any meds with my RE. I am taking Conceive Easy, Pre Natals, Maca and just accupuncture and chinese herbs. I was told that I was not ovulating and the conversations with my RE went so fast all the time that I just took all the meds and agreed to the IUI's. Now I am sitting back confused because I was using a ovulation digital test and I would get a peak all of the time so I though that meant I was ovuating. Anywho, all I can do now is tempt chart and pray pray pray! Keep me posted ladies!

Well ladies, went for my first acupuncture appointment at the weekend.

He said I have a yang deficiency due to my hands and feet being cold, not feeling refreshed after a nights sleep etc. I also told him I was never sure what to take as my first day of my cycle as I always spot. People say you should always take full red flow and enough to fill a tampon as first day. At times I would get red flow on wiping but brownish stains enough to fill a liner. This would confuse me as I don't I could put that down to spotting.

Anyway as I had fear he wants to see me twice a week until my period is sorted. I am so worried about where the cash is coming from to pay for twice a week. My mum, God love her, offered to pay for some sessions. She's all for it but DH is having a fit at the frequency of it. Anyway, he also gave me herbal tablets, one for ovulation and the other for my periods. Not sure why he gave me an ovulation one but have to take 3 of each twice a day. So all in all it's costing me £86 a week. Going to see how I go but if I can't afford it I am happy with once a week.

He never mentioned any dietary requirements or anything.
