I went for my acupuncture consultation on Friday. The doctor was AWESOME. She was so sincere & interested in helping me. Not only me, but Rick as well. He has insomnia & she thinks just a few treatments would help him tremendously. Anyway, after looking over my patient history form, she checks my pulse & my tongue. {weird, right?!} That is the Chinese medicine equivalent of checking your blood pressure, etc. After talking for a long time about dietary changes (no caffiene, alcohol, or dairy) & lifestyle changes (no jogging) she offered to start my acupuncture treatment that day. I layed on my back & had a total of 20 needles on my head, wrist, stomach & legs. I layed there for about 25 minutes. Then I turned over to lay on my stomach & had 13 more needles inserted. Kept those in for about 15 minutes. The needles are about the size of a strand of hair (or so I'm told). I only felt a couple of them go in & it was just a quick prick & that was it!
My problem seems to be with blood stagnation (poor circulation) and kidney function. I will go for acupuncture twice a week for a month then to once a week for a month. I'm also on some supplements & supposed to eat more protein & warm vegetables.
Day 2 tomorrow. Cannot wait!

Why no dairy? And why no jogging? This is very interesting! Can't wait to hear more!
I was told that jogging decreases egg quality. And since we are trying to conceive we want good eggs! Walking is fine, just no jogging. The dairy I found very interesting...dairy increases mucus. which I knew, in my work I recommend that kids with lots of ear infections go off dairy to decrease ear infections. Apparently dairy also increases mucous around the sperm & eggs. This makes them too slippery so the sperm cannot penetrate the egg.
Very interesting stuff. I'm glad I found your blog. Didn't know you were trying to get pregnant. I'm sure it will happen sooner than you think! For me though..I thikn I'll increase my dairy intake! Ha
