Hi Girls wondering if I can join you all too? I'm so excited to find a thread on TTC and TCM!
No one else I know is or has used TCM before so it will be good to share. I am a mummy to one little boy. He is 2.5yrs old. We have been TTC since July 2009 so it's been a while and has been a rude shock as ds was concieved without trying really (first month without contraception). I've been doing accupuncture and herbs that I cook for 30mins and drink three times a day since January this year. Apparently I had a cold uterus, My spleen, liver and kidney were all low? I think and I am hypothyroid and have very low iron.
I see my guy between once a week and once a fortnight atm depending on what I need. My spleen is much better and liver but my kidneys are still not very good. (I'm not sure of the technical term). I've been told to cut out or at least down on wheat, gluten and dairy and no cold or raw foods. I had a blood test recently and my hormone levels all seemed normal, my thyroid was good and my iron was the best it's ever been and I've stopped taking iron supplements just using the herbs so they have obviously helped.
Sorry for the long "me" post. Been feeling a bit down and feel like everyone around me is utd!
