Trying for next baby - period hasn't returned

Hi Joanna & Ocean Princess,

I know how having no AF can be when TTC. My last cycle was 100 days and so my FS suggested going on clomid because I have been diagnosed with PCOS. I wasn’t completely fussed on trying medication yet so I am exploring Chinese Traditional medicine. The Doctor I am seeing has been doing 2 sessions a week of acupuncture along with some herbs. I am a major needle phobic but I can handle it surprisingly. In the session he combines electro-acupuncture, cupping and normal acupuncture. It seems to be working though because I have ovulated on day 25 this time instead of 86. So now it’s just the TWW!! I really recommend looking into Acupuncture. It seems to be getting my system working better now. So even if it’s not successful this time at least I know I will be ovulating more regular to at least TTC. Hope this helps and all the best!!

That's a great idea... I've had acupuncture in preparation for labour and when I was post dates, I wonder why I didn't think to look into it now?

Might ring my TCM practitioner...

Hi

Naturopathically you could also try taking supplements that can promote ovulation and restore regular cycles. I'd suggest Chaste tree, EPO, Fish oil supplements, a multi vitamin and if haven't checked get your iron levels checked so if depleted you can take iron tablets.
