    From what you've said I would try someone else. I have found you need to stick at tcm and any natural medicine for a few months to get results. It is different to western medicine which offers a quick fix for a symptom. The idea of tcm is to fix your body which will obviously help with the symptom you are suffering from. It took me 5 months of tcm and I now have my dd. that being said, the practitioner I was using was fully aware if what I wanted to achieve and he was targeting my fertility issues. The herbs I was given were specifically for women's issues and the point he was using were specifically for reproductive system.

    Also I have found a Chinese tcm practitioner seemed to achieve better results.

    If your gut feel is bad, I'd say try someone else. Hopefully you might pick up a recommendation. Acupuncture/TCM/naturopathy is brilliant providing the person you are seeing is treating you individually and holistically.

    The woman I went to helped us conceive DS3 within three months of starting weekly treatment (Clomid did nothing and the dr I saw really did not give too hoots about my luteal phase issues). I saw her every week, and she had brilliant recall albeit there were questions I was asked weekly as I guess it formed part of what she did and when. She also had my DH on TCM to help his sperm quality and quantity - she always talked about how men are 50% of the equation but too many people only treat the female.

    Hey shellbell, I live in northern n.s.w and have found so far Stacey at sharkeys healing centre is very thorough and specialise in fertility...and I feel they are helping with their tailored herbs. I get a lot out of it with info and more thorough tests to investigate.
    They also do Skype appointments which is great!
    Already found I'm having prob converting a thyroid hormone and my ewcm after only 1mnth on herbs is more... Lol sceptic I am too that's why it's. nearly taken me 3 yrs to go to naturopath! But I'm glad I did now.
    Follow your instincts xox
    Good luck
