I have a very regular cycle, like clockwork and was getting very depressed and frustrated at ttc for 9 months with no luck.
I decided to give TCM a go and we managed to get a BFP in the first cycle. I couldn't believe my luck. My Chinese Doctor did tell me that it can work first cycle but I was not holding my breath! I am very impressed with her and with the treatment in general.
Even without the BFP, I was loving the effects and changes to my body that the herbs were bringing about, I just felt like my body was working so much better.
And Tashybabe, I'm in Melbourne too and depending on what area you are in, the Belly Belly center have great TCM practitioners (in Canterbury) or I can highly recommend my Chinese Doctor, Stella Pericleous. She is in Kensington, you can find her online at metro chinese medicine clinic.
Glad I read this thread. We have been trying for #2 for 21mths without any luck. Stopped at 16mths for an op to remove a little endo and fibroids and took a 2 mth break. we're still trying naturally but have started to think about acupuncture and Chinese medicine. I also have a short LP...between 9-11 days so am trying v.b6 the next couple of cycles to try and lengthen it and see if thats the issue.
At the moment i'm so sick to death of people telling me to "stop stressing about it and then you'll get pregnant!!!" or "as soon as you stop trying, that's when you'll get pregnant!!". Does anyone else get that? Like they think there couldn't possibly be any medical reason, and because someone is TTC that they are automatically highly stressed about it and that's the reason for it. Its frustrating but I don't have time to make it my every thought of the day or even week!
Anyway...sorry for the hijack. Will definitely look into acupuncture and CM....maybe it will remove my 'stress'.... LOL. What are the things people look for in an acupuncturist?
