Please, feel free to do so! It will be great to hear you ladies out there!
So let's begin! So after my previous cycle started on 16th July 2018, that was my last Clomid cycle and it was unsuccessful... Sighs.. I was hoping for a clomid baby but guess its not meant to be.. So this cycle, it will be my normal cycle with no additional hormone meds to add into it.. Only with my
FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN B COMPLEX & METFORMIN 500MG..
So when I was back to work, I was chatting with my chinese workmate.. Although she is in her 40s with 4 kids.. She has never stop giving me informations that she learn way back when she was in the Gynae/Obs Clinic. So after trying the western method with clomid & western drugs, I went on to the Traditional Malay style of Sengkak & urut... Both with no success.. Or maybe it was not long enough to see the outcome.. LOL!!
So my friend mentioned to me..
Her: Dear.. Have you tried acupuncture?
Me: Hmm... last time when I had achilles tendinitis & sciatic nerve issue, i did go..
Her: But for fertility?
Me: Urrmmm.... Nooooo...
Her: Why not give it a shot? Also, I've always seen you taking in cold drinks, you know it's not really good for the womb to be cold? We chinese believe that if the womb is cold, it's hard for the egg to mount on it..
Me: Oooohhh!! I didn't know that! You know I LOVEEEEEE Ice Lemon Tea!!
Her: Which one do you want more? Baby or crave?
I stared at her and took some moment to have that question sink in...
Me: Hmmm.... Maybe I should change for this cycle.. What do you recommend me to do?
Her: Let's start by getting your womb back to warm up! Let try taking in Red Dates & Ginger Tea for start.. These 2 are well known to have the body temperature increase and make it warmer, next, stop drinking cold drink all the time.. If possible for this cycle, take in more hot or warm water. Then schedule for a acupuncture session in one of the government hospital.
Me: Hmm... Ok dear, I will give it a shot!
So here i am!! LOL!! Today it's the 14th August 2018 and I had my acupuncture session done back on my CD10. It was advice to have it done weekly and to have it performed before your ovulation date. So CD7 onwards to CD13. They even mentioned to give a shot for 3-6 months for this session.
So I was attended by Acupuncturist Dr Ellyn, she is such an amazing lady! So I explained to her my situation, which you ladies here know what's going on! And she started checking my pulse (Which i know my pulse are weak) which is TRUE, she say it was weak... which could have caused the circulations to the uterus to be interrupted or even low flow.. She checked my tongue, mentioned that it's not looking too good as well..
At first I was alil skeptic when she mentioned that, but I wanted to give it a shot and go along with it.. Eventually we get along during this first session! So she assist me up to the bed and the needle poking session starts!
So what happen was, I was told that I need to sign a consent form, to allow the treatment/procedure to be carried out and stressed on the importance that all needles are disposable and are used once per patient per session. Hygiene is very important! Like what my workmate told me that, if i were to head to these old old acupuncture center, some of them reuse the needles and cleanse them in alcohol solutions.. So ladies, please make sure that the center that you go for acupuncture only use disposable ones ya!
So lying down facing up, Dr Ellyn helped me with my socks and ensure that I was comfortable. So she explained to me the points that she will insert the needles in.
So she had 3 needles in both legs & 3 on my fingers.. specifically on my ring finger where she mentioned that, "On these bony parts of the finger, is known to be the fertility trigger point" so she had it applied deeper and saying that "I'm giving you a hint on the "aggresive" treatment to see if it's alright for you"
By all mean, I was up for it and it wasn't that bad. I was able to tolerate for the whole session. So she mentioned that this session, she will leave my tummy alone from any needles as she wants this first session to focus on getting back my pulse to more "smooth & stronger" flow..
Overall, i manage to sleep peacefully during the session and had a sense of relaxations, even with these needles sticking onto me like a baby elephant getting stunt by a dart with tranquilizer.. HAHAHAHAHA!!
I was waken by Dr Ellyn's voice and said that the session is over and try not to get these areas wet for the next 2-3 hours as to avoid "wetness" to enter in.. I obliged to her advice and left to make payment. So for my first session, I was charged $54.60/- and I was suprised. I thought it would have caused me $100 plus for the first session but definitely it's affordable.. So scheduled my next session in 2 weeks time as i'm doing evening shift the following week. Dr Ellyn was a young lady who definitely is dedicated to her job. The way she speak and portray herself during our session, makes me feel relax and I can really be sure that she can be trusted when carrying her duty. I recommend her!! (Whoever wants her details, please drop a note at the "Live Chat Box" and I will share it!)
So today, it's CD30.. I am feeling tired.. No cramps... No sore boobs... When I was around CD18, I had a bad sore throat and flu symptoms which caused me to take 1/2 MC from work. My department Dr was kind enough to prescribe medications for me to take.. It lasted almost 2 weeks... And since CD27, I have been increasing hungry!! Like...
Had a plate of Fried Noodles, A plate of rice with dishes, 4 slices of bread with jam in it, Nuggets and Cheese Balls... I was still hungry!!! Mountain bear was shocked and was giving me that "Are you sure you are still hungry?" And i couldn't lie about it.. I was feeling "I want to have some chocolate, some spicy, some sweet, some salty stuffs to munch!" and it dragged till CD30 which is today!
I was suppose to have my period this 16th August 2018 and I really hope it's away for a looooooonnnnggggg vacation! I do not wish to think about it but also, did a Pregnancy test today, it was negative.. *dammit i caved in*
Darnn... I know I shouldn't have tempted myself to indulged in this misery of peeing on a stick!! I was told that people get a positive after they missed their period..
I shall STOP myself from the urges to pee on one, for as long as I can tahan.. LOL!!
Also this cycle, I have TONS of acne/pimples growing on the sides of my face, my back and my scalp! Something different and i could say the ones on my back are like cystic acne!! But they will disappear in 1-2 days without doing anything... And my skin are constantly itching all the time! Urgh!! Depressing!! But also, subside after few hours but occurred again everytime I had a shower and after changing.. Had few days of dizziness and headaches.. Also had sinusitis which I never had.. But no fever! Amazing!
So let's wait till my next post for the update!
You ladies have a good rest and take care!
Lots of love!
This Nurse.
