Hi Ladies, how are you ? Haven been coming in. Hope all mothers-to-be are well and those who are trying, press on!
Just an update - and yes i do hope you girls can pray along with me.
Today i had sometime to go visit my TCM and esp today is CD1, tot is a good opportunity to let her see.
After seeing her, discovered some new issues about myself. I last see her on my 3rd cycle this year in April. Then after that i went MIA so I was able to tell her one shot how many days my cycles was like for the past few cycles.
After going thru my past cycles records, she said my period cycle ranging 25 to 26 is really too short and she said i should aim at 27-28 days at least. When i told her my OPK result is positive on CD 10/11, she also commented is not very good either. She said mature eggs should come out at least CD14 onwards. Despite i have a good luteal phase based on what internet is saying, I didn't realize my ovulation matters so much as well :-( That's the reason why i haven get pregnant so far.
Even if did, is probably not a good egg. (Now am thinking back why i had mc now because of my egg issues). Now is not an issue whether i can catch the egg, is whether is a good egg! Gosh.
Am quite down now but then again i am positive at the same time that there are some issues i know i can work on rather than blindly trying on to get pregnant and knowing what happen. She told me to drink red dates + wolfberries every day. LRD to only take once a week. Basically i think is to strengthen my kidney now.
I asked her if raspberry leaf tea is ok, then she just said try to avoid all kind of teas if can cos tea by nature is liang type. I was like ok. Then i asked her if royal jelly should contd and she said is good for eggs, ovulation and etc PROVIDED i have no cyst and fibroid. i was like stunned again.
Lastly i asked about coffee, she said once a day shd be fine if can dun drink every day.
Hope my visit to TCM can help you girls out there but of course different individuals can be due to different reasons. Now is time to TTC again!
I am visiting a new gynae later and just to scan to ensure everything is fine. will share updates again!
Now i pray that God will heal my body, grant me a healthy body and healthy eggs so that i can have children! Thanks for reading such a long post!
