I finally got to my accupuncture appointment yesterday... and it was everything everyone on here said it would be. AHHHHmazing. LOL.
Treatment was really neat (because I'm a dork and love this kind of thing). As soon as she got a few of the needles in I felt the warming in my abdomen everyone talks about and it actually felt like some twitching and movement. The hour flew by and I was so relaxed. I could have stayed there all day.
After the treatment we discussed a plan for moving forward. I loved that she referenced TCOYF and another book (Making Babies) and could talk intelligently about BBT and hormones in general. She also completely understood all of the tests my RE had done and even expected some things so I felt really confident she knew what she was doing. She was also happy I had an order for CD3 bloodwork once we got things going again. Loved that she was looking at an integrative approach and not just she could solve everything.
The good news- she thinks my issues are related to the weight loss and other stress factors in the last year and my body reacted by shutting down "that area" until its "safe". Basically, the body doesn't want to get pregnant if it doesn't think the time is right so it prevents itself from doing so. She doesn't think it's early menopause based on everything I told her and my answers to her questions and she thinks in 8-12 weeks we should be about to get that lost and wandering AF to show back up and then regulate. Once she's come to visit twice if there's no BFP we'll work on getting the BFP by tweaking my treatments.
The fun part. She gave me a quiz to take and report back on. it also has supplements for your fertility type (she didn't tell me to do anything with them, just something I noticed when I was done). It has a section for male and female. you just don't answer the ones that don't apply. thought I'd share:
