The Really Useful TCM Thread

[Jen1802]

Was an interesting session today, we caught up on the last 2 2weeks and Norway and todays appt at the Lister
She said my energy was VERY good , in most of her clients she would get that level of energy at the end of the session.

My liver and adrenal glands are not blocked anymore, everything was perfect.

She asked me what i liked baout myself - took me ages to think of soehting but i said i am a fair person, driven passionate and determined.

Then she asked what i didnt like about myself---tough one ! i said ..im obsessive, stubborn ( so hubbie tells me)

She kept telling me that i am going to get pregnant,she knows she is not a mind reader but she just knows .....ehhhhhhhh WHEN IS IT GONNA HAPPEN THEN??


When we left she said to me 'ring me if you have any news' What does that mean , what news would i be ringing her about other than IM PREGGERS

so strange

Jen and Glitter: my lady sounds like your lady

Hey Muncho she certainly does! It's so weird...I keep thinking to myself does she know something I don't???????? It's nice too though, I'm finding it contagious, found myself talking last night to DH about when we have a baby...haven't done that in about 4 months! PMA all round!! Happy christmas everyone, I won't be back on here until the New Year so I hope everyone has a happy and healthy christmas!!!

Hi all :wave:

Finally found the thread abster - thanks for telling me about it! It all sounds very interesting and I have been wondering ever since I started TTC why I get these two spots on the sides of my tongue near the back around ov time. When I looked at a "tongue diagnosis map" these areas relate to my kidneys! I am definitely going to try find someone near me to try in the new year and I placed an order for the Randine Lewis book today. Am I looking for just an Acupuncturist or do they need to do TCM as well?
As a long shot, can anyone recommend a good practioner in the Ipswich/Colchester area of the UK? I googled it and found this one so far:
https://www.drmonk.co.uk/
What do you think? I see on their website they are the agreed practioners for the local posh Fertility Clinic...

Hey

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are suitably stuffed!

My book arrived Xmas eve and have been redaing it when I have got the chance. I didn't flick too much but got to the questionaire.. I answer yes to at least 75% of the spleen defiency questions and have thought the kidney yang is like me too. I carried on reading to the LPD and low and behold both of these are linked to LPD. Im def booking an appt for the NY! Spoke to my sis who TTC for years and she also did hypnotherapy (ACU and tons of other stuff) and got preggers the next month, the second one popped along as a surprise. I really feel like I want to do all I can to help this lil eggy hatch!

Luckily I had some fabulous slippers and a hot water bottle for Xmas... Gona go and warm myself up!

Please keep posting you all making me feel much more positive

Hey everyone...:wave:
I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and are feeling full of hope and PMA for 2010

Muncho...I just read on netmums.com in the reflexology for pregnancy section that a therapist may be able to feel a baby growing....first as a tiny tadpole and then you yourself maybe able to see a growing bulge on the inner side of your foot, just above the heel........hope your reflexologist is on to something hun

How's everyone else doing?

Well my weird cycle is still continuing I'm actually having quite a few O signs these past couple of days so I'm almost counting down the hours until I can ring and book my first appt with the TCM lady that I found, and can't wait for next weekend when I have my first reflexology session.
I had an appointment come thru for 1st of Feb today to go back to my gyne about all the spotting etc that's been going on....should I postpone TCM until after the appt or just get going with it?!

I really hope you're all ok, sending lots of and PMA xxx

P.s: Abi I love the team name idea...isn't there a section on the site where people will create graphics for others? Think I've seen it somewhere

Hi welshrose Id just go with it, I think both medicines together covers all bases. I'm only having reflexology at the moment because I'm a student nurse and the acu is quite an expensive thing to commitment to and its a bit much until I quialify! Saying that though I had my 2nd reflexology session and its so strange its like you can actually feel it working, I have some pain in my hips sometimes - I didn't tell her this, I just got a really buzzy tickly feeling in my left knee when she was touching some points , she said I must have some lower back isssue as thats what it was and that the feeling i was getting was energy flowing to that area. Also my right heel is tender when she touches it more so than the left, she thought it might be because I ovulated from that side or some problem, she says as we keep working on it, it should become clear. I come out feeling so well and relaxed, not even my friends announcing pg's seem to send me into floods of tears like it did previously (seriously we are the count of about 9 now!)

Good luck xx

Hi Girls...if you want a team banner, I had a play and made these. As you can see I am a fan of the old sparkly stuff but they can be done without.
Thought the ying yang was a good symbol of the balance we are all trying to achieve...and they look a bit like spermys and little sticky beans

[muncho]

Hi girls,
Can I join you all?? Started reflexology for irregular cycles last July. Havn't managed to get a cycle going yet but I love it as it's so relaxing. Got a recommendation for an accupunturist recently and so far I've had two sessions with another one due next week. He also put me an chinese herbs. My pulse is low and I have a low blood flow so he is working on enriching the blood and trying to balance my hormones. I don't find it as relaxing as the reflexology but if it works!!! I have to take 30 of the little herbal pills a day and find that they make me feel very full (like bloating) and my appetite has decreased (always a good thing). Has anyone else found this??

Acupuncture


I told the Acu man today that im getting a bit anxiuos about the needles now - even yesterday at my blood test i was realy nervous. Im thinking too much about all the needles i will be taking soon ans its beginning to get scary..

he said he will change the needles ot to smaller size. he did this and it made such a difference - no pain at all. I dont know if this is a good thing. I updated him on my protocol so he knows how to tie in the acu with my treatment..

BTW i think he is not giving me herbs as it can interfere with IVF treatment...

 

[muncho]

Welcome fitzy, i cnat help with the herb question as i dont take herbs, the others will be bale to answer this

Hey Everyone....Just thought I'd pop back in here and wish you all the happiest and healthiest year ahead....FX'd 2010 is going to be magical for us all

 

[Jen1802]

Hey all, hope you's all had a lovely time over Christmas and happy New Year! Well update on my past week, had another session of acupuncture on Thursday which would have been CD12 for me. It's all looking very promising, as soon as AF went I started to get fertility signs (usually nothing happens for nearly a week!) so to cut a long story short I think I ovulated on CD14 (Saturday) forgot to temp this morning so can't be 100% sure but going by my CP and CM over the past week my ovulation has been brought forward! Woohooo!!! How amazing! Now it's just a waiting game to see if I'll get to 14 dpo...fx'd! I'm really, really excited about how quickly its worked! I so sorry Muncho that AF got you! Hate the witch!!! Hope your ok! Oh and I love the banners!
xo Jen

 

[fitzy79]

That's great Jen! I have my third session tomorrow. Currently on Day 60 of yet another long cycle but have had (TMI coming up!!) a ton of EWCM the past 4 days and think may have ovulated late last night or this morning as had twinges in side....fingers crossed!! Really do believe that accupuncture and herbs must be doing something.

If I did ovulate, is it safe to have a session tomorrow based on fact that a little may be meeting with my newly released egg????!!!!
