In the blue corner I have acupunctre/chinese herbs and in the red corner, Clomid ... LOL.

In all seriousness, I'm giving up Clomid after this cycle and putting my faith in acupuncture/chinese herbs/naturopathy to help us conceive and bake another baby. I'm just finding the 'medical approach" isn't getting me very far and the gyno/ob I've been seeing is well, just a gyno. She diagnosed me with pcos without a blood test or ultrasound. She may be right ... but she may be wrong too. She seems to think it's "fine" I continue on 100mg of clomid because it makes me ovulate - despite AF arriving 9 days after O on the last two cycles. Apparently that's "fine" too. I'm no dr, but even my basic knowledge of conception tells me that for a fertilised embryo to implant, it probably needs more than nine days to get where it's supposed to and NOT have the uterine lining shed.

So ... I finally did what I feel I probably should have done all along and called up an alternative therapy wiz. She "treated" me when I was pg with DS1 and DS2 and she's incredible. She has a special interest in fertility/conception/pregnancy. For months my gut instinct has been to go back to her, but my head said clomid could have been a "quick fix".

First treatment is tomorrow, wish me luck (particularly when it comes to those nasty but necessary chinese herbs )
