Morning Ladies
Just had my first acupuncture session - well it certainly was different
I'm trying to remember everything to help you Josie - this is a bit jumbled but she asked lots and lots of questions
First she asked about my history, my periods, my discharge, whether I get nausea, sore boobs, back ache etc and where in the cycle I get them.
Then she took my pulse, looked at my tongue, my fingernails.
Then she asked what medication I was on, how long I'd been trying, what condition would I say my over all health was in, was I stressed, how was my PMS, what did I like to do to relax, how much alcohol I consumed, did I smoke, was I fairly active etc.
The she felt my hair, asked if I feel bloated, how heavy my periods were, how long a cycle I had, what my temperatures where like, how my periods what were the colour, whether I clotted or spotted etc.
She then laid me on a bed - I had to remove my jumper - and she stuck needles in me I could feel them going in - but they weren't uncomfy but OMG one really hurt
She then told me to lay still and relax.
I could feel a pulling sensation, a tingling, and almost like I was laying on a rock on my lh side (that's were the needle that hurt was).
She then got me to stretch out my hands and squeezed all my fingers in turn - asking which side I could feel - again on my little finger I got what felt like a small shock up my lh side all my other fingers I never really felt anything until it came to my thumb - when I got an electric shock lh side again (she also said I needed to drink more water as the skin round the needles where puckering).
I relaxed for a bit longer and could feel like a contracting in my back and a vibrating it was weird (all normal she said) I had a nice chat with her about general things and then she took the needles out - no problem - apart from that one
She told me to get up slowly and get dressed - she also advised against alcohol tonight (as the effects could be harsher) she also advised having lots of water to help flush out what she had loosened - and to let nature take its cause (whether wee or number 2
) she also said I may feel tired or hyper after the treatments all this was perfectly normal.
I will be seeing her for my 2nd treatment this Friday
Overall I feel confident in her and a little bit better - I have no temp this morning as once again it was over 37
off to guzzle some water, have a nice day ladies.

totally understand that but hopefully the timings will add up and you catch that egg!! I'm on the second day of af and I must admit I get excited for the next cycle lol. I'm so sorry for your losses but I wish you masses of success in ttc, I lost two lo's back to back before Brooklyn so he really is our little miracle. They do happen
