Hi

im really clutching at straws now and wondering if anyone has any success stories

weve been ttc for 18 months now, had a MMC in july 2020 at 11 weeks, since my MMC iv been very emotional, tired, and my boobs would hurt from ovulation day all the way to my period coming, and i also wouldnt have much CM at all !

I started seeing a fertility acupuncturist weekly and she also prescribes me herbs. i take one type days 1 to 14 and after i have my ovulation i move to another herb till my period or a BFP.

She originally told me it would take 12weeks to fully work, after only 4 weeks my CM started coming back and i was having EWCM around ovulation, 8 weeks in my boobs stopped hurting and i had my energy. But now we still are not having any luck

Im doing all i can, i have 2 brazil nuts a day to help with selenium

take mucinex around ovulation

a slice of pineapple including core from 1-5 dpo

can anyone just talk to me about there success stories please with herbs or anything else that can help ? we really wasnt expecting this to be such a emotional lonely journey.

Im also getting my bloods taken at 8dpo this week to check for progesterone and then maybe go down the IVF route :(

My acupuncturist specialises in fertility (I’m not ttc I’m suffering peri symptoms) and she’s had success using acupuncture with lots of women ttc. Last one I knew if (she doesn’t discuss her patients business) was a pal, 41 or 42 at the time. Three mcs. Has a daughter now. All good.

If your acupuncturist isn’t helping you could always try another one in your area? Like all professionals you get ones that are better than others. Good joiners bad joiners, good hairdressers bad hairdressers etc. You could shop around?

What herbs are you taking? I've just started acupuncture, my periods were messed up after a miscarriage last year. I haven't been given any herbs however.

Its great news you're getting back to normal though, and hopefully it'll happen now your hormones are more balanced 🤞

I've started taking soy isoflavones, I'm only on my second month of them, but am trying them because I read lost of positive stories about them helping people to conceive. I was spotting before my period (since the miscarriage), which apparently indicated lower progesterone, so I'm on high dose vitamin C (1000 mg) and B vitamins to try to help with this.
