Acupuncture

Today I had my first acupuncture appointment. The first part of it was sitting down and discussing EVERYTHING to see if there was a common thread in things going on for me. She believes alot of my issues stem from my thyroid and my gut. We discussed my charting and that my levels this month in particular and quite low which she feels is a really good indication that the thyroid isn't working properly. She also said it can be a really big issue with getting and maintaining pregnancy... good thing is its easily treated. So I have had some blood tests for that along with some other things. She also feels I may have some intolerances to foods like gluten/wheat and has tested that.


I found it quite interesting really! So much made so much sense! It really would compliment western medicine and as she said, there is too much emphasis on medicating not correcting. The pins didn't hurt at all - I had some in my head, tummy, ankles and wrists. 


My therapist was really lovely and im quite looking forward to doing this journey for a while. We discussed briefly a plan for the future - im going to do weekly sessions and hold off from doing another clomiphene or IUI cycle to see if we can get things better aligned without the interventions as she feels I have done too much clomiphene as it is!!!


So yay - bring it on and bring on my BFP!!!
