Hi all....like many of you, I have been using natural /alternative medicines on this journey to try and get all the help I can get!
I've recently started seeing a new Chinese doctor, who uses acupuncture, chinese herbs etc.
Anyway, one of my friends who LTTTC before having her first child, reported big success with this lady, she fell pregnant fairly soon after seeing her. Another friend who is still LTTTC has had no success after seeing this lady for quite a while.
They both warned me she doesnt have a great bedside manner.
Anyway, I think she has NO bedside manner. She has broken English and at my last visit she said to me "you find it very hard to be pregnant right now, energy too low...you should no bother even try...you just waste your energy". I felt like any faint flickerings of hope and positivity I have been trying hard to regain and hold on to, were squashed. I know she is just one lady, but I feel so low as it is, and now heading into my next cycle, I keep hearing her words echo in my head and feel like maybe we are wasting our time. Which is not the head space I want to be in!
I'm not happy with her, but I also want to do anything I can to help and figure she knows what she's doing. She also talked about my blood flow not being good, which is one of the reasons why babies "drop down" (miscarry), because "not enough blood to sustain".
Have any of you had this type of experience, approach? What do you think of this? I guess i need to find a way to deal with her manner if I keep seeing her, and to try and be positive anyway.
