I know what you're thinking -- acupuncturist! midwife! - what the hell is going on here?! Never fear, I haven't turned into some crazy tree hugging freak. I simply came to the conclusion that I Hate doctors. I mean I really believe that 98% of them are idiots and couldn't care less about you or your problems. Its a hard realization, but I feel I've definately have had enough experience to come to this conclusion. Yes, I realize I was a drug pusher for 5 years - which is probably what lead me to this conclusion. Drugs are bad, folks. Most of the time pharma companies just make up shit in order to make more money. I mean more power to them for a good business strategy, but I for one am not going to be stupid enough to fall for that pile of bullshit.
So that leads to my first decision - to seek acupuncture treatment. I'm going to be honest; we didnt get pregnant our first time trying, or the second, or the fourth, and so on. So after seeing my ob/gyn who clearly didnt even want to speak to me, but just wanted to give me drugs. I decided to look into acupuncture. I found extensive research on the topic and how helpful it could be in treating fertility. So I discovered Dan-Ning - not only was she board certified in acupuncture & chinese herbal medicine, but was also a trained medical physician in China. Wonderful. So I began my treatments at the beginning of January. Acupuncture rocks, it's totally relaxing and I would fall asleep almost immediately after she put in the needles. So I would go weekly and also take my 'herbs' that she gave me.
Yup, thats what I would take every DAY - 25 pills! Yummers. But it was definately worth it. I started feeling better about 2 weeks into treatment and I wholeheartedly believe this is what helped me get pregnant. It definately wasn't cheap, but worth every penny in my opinion.
Thank GOD you're not a tree hugger, oh the horror!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you about medicine, I just don't like taking anything period. But I do from time to time. I will follow in your footsteps if need be...I don't think I'm afraid of needles...
