Natural cycle may have worked

Herbsie · 09-08-2006, 04:49 AM

After having so many failed DIUIs I decided to try accupuncture and chinese herbs with a natural cycle. Now I'm on cd30 with no sign of AF. I've been to scared to test because I don't need further disappointments and am also ever wary about the m/c I had previously.

My friends don't know that I tried naturally either, so it's going to be quite a blow if it did work out.

Please keep me in your thoughts

I am hoping for the best for you. I have lurched on this board for quite a while and admire your determination in getting pregnant. Heres to wishing you a BFP!

I hope it works out. How long have you been taking the TCM herbs. My DH and I just started taking the TCM herbs on 6-29-06. DH takes them daily and currently I am only using them two weeks out of the month.

Thank you ladies but it seems like maybe it didn't work. I've started with light brown spotting yesterday and this afternoon there seems to be a bit of red in the spotting.

Mondayschile: I was doing accu for about 6 weeks and TCM for just as long. I noticed a change in my cycle, esp. cm, immediately. I only hope that the TCM is not what has caused further problems because my cycles are generally very regular. Today is cd33.

Just a further update ladies. AF did show up in full, although very different to the past. I put it down to the accupuncture treatment.

My only hassle is that I still have all the previous pg symptoms hanging around long enough to make me wonder what's going on.....

I'm very tired all the time, have cramping, go to the bathroom often, am constipated, have heartburn and nausea, breasts still tender (it's CD7) but most irritating is the metallic taste in my mouth which won't go away. When I done an HPT it was BFN, but you know how we all get about those.
