Congrats tethysea!!!
I think i can help answer some of u girls questions.
Tcm can tell if u got pcos either by seeing your bbt chart or by feeling your pulse.
Those whose af doesnt come n yet u are not expecting, it can mean your hormones is haywire so hence your lining for the cycle is very thin or your lining is thicker but its not shedding.
Either way, both are unhealthy cos for healthy bfp to happen your lining must be of sufficient thickness.
If u got normal thickness of lining but your lining is not shed totally that means over the next cycle the lining will build up.
This is also bad if u bfp as the lining where the foetus sticks to is not fresh one.
Af can still happen even if u dont o.
This is what we call annovulatory cycle.
The only way to know if u have o or not is thru scanning or blood test with gynae.
Why women dont o can be for many reasons..stress, depressed, experiencing trauma or just health reasons that cause u to have either no eggs that mature or your eggs may not be of suitable sufficient size for it to drop n o to happen.
Sonel,
U are in good hands.
Dr Zou is very good..just do n listen to what she advised u.
But tcm will take at least a few mths to take effect so must be patient n persevere thru.
Amy,
if its your first time seeing tcm then once see red like on cd2, go for the first visit.
Tcm will give meds for during af, after af to help u to o and an tai yao during 2ww.
Girls with cysts n pcos, must take care of your diet.
Cannot take a lot of nuts, soya stuff, royal jelly etc.
If the cysts are small they can usually be flush out when u get your af.
Hence taking raspberry tea is good..will help in that.
Its only bigger cyst that will require surgery to remove out.
