Chiropractor/massage therapy/herbal therapy?
I went to a massage therapist/chiropractor today for a leg injury but talked to her about m/cs and IF. She said so many wonderful things, made feel so at peace with myself.
She suggested a cleanse before O to help your body and then red raspberry leaf tea every day and throughout your pregnacy too.
But she also said I am rushing things. That my body can get pg so I shouldn't use all this drugs and do IF treatments. She said the souls are aware that I am waiting and the right one will come to me when it's ready.
I would never even consider any of the things she told me about a month ago. But after mc#2 I am so lost that I am not sure of anything anymore.
Sorry, guess I just needed to vent. I would love to believe in all of this but I am sure my anxiety will kick in as soon as I get AF.......

I actually started acupuncture with my last cycle. I went 3x week for 3 weeks and now I'm down to once a week. I can honestly say I'm a lot calmer. My acupuncturiest who is also a chiropractor told me the same thing about rushing things. I was happy and sad all at the same time with what she said. I absolutely love going it gives me something to look forward too.
She did an inital exam to tell her where to put the pins and my levels (hormones/fungshway) were off the chart. At the end of my first 3 weeks she did the test again and they were back to normal. She put me on some Liver D Detox supplement and something else to curve my craving for sugar. I don't think the sugar thing worked.
My anxiety hit with my last AF, but when I went in for my appointment she talked to me and told me that I'm one month closer to a healthier ute for the babe. The thing that makes me cry is every single time she says your going to be wonderful mommy, you were meant to be a mommy. I just want to tell her duhhhhhh......
I hope this helped a little.
Hi Luvs,
I have done both herbs and acu. I did the herbs for 2 months and saw a pretty dramatic change in my cycle. I also got pg the second time after that. I truly believe had that not been a partial molar that pg would have worked out. I have found out since then that I have endometrial problem so I do the progesterone but also still go to acu to help with side effects and implantation.
For me acu has helped me tremendously, I defintely recommend it.
I'm glad you posted this luvs, I've been thinking about going and this really prompted me to try and find a place tomorrow.
I believe chiro can help, I am starting to go back after this cycle is over, they do x-rays the first visit and I don't want to risk it.
I would not to herbal stuff and all that... I just don't believe in it. Some people can try everything and not get pg, I don't think there is any reason to put off modern medicine, which is much more proven than herbal stuff... especially since I tried herbs for a few months, and they didn't change anything.
HI Luvs - my mom is a chiropractor ( has been for almost 20 years)
and she's never mentioned it helping me with fertility - If it helps give you peace of mind I say go for it !
I'm also doing accupuncture though as I know a few girls who have gotten BFP's after -
Good luck to you !
