edited October 2015 in TTC after 35
Hello there! I'm introducing myself. I'm steph from san diego and i've been on TB since december 2014. I was preggo but mc at 8 weeks in january 2015.

I'm finally ready to try again and this is my 3rd cycle ttc. I've been lurking and participating some on TTGP. I like the tww over there but it seems like you ladies are more my speed!

I'm an acupuncturist and yoga teacher and i happen to teach prenatal yoga. I love me some preggos and yoga!! Feel free to ask me questions related to Chinese medicine and i'll do my best to get back to you. I love love herbs and supplements and i have seen first hand what a difference they can make!

    @agriffin92013 I highly recommend it! Acupuncture can compliment where western med has gaps and really make the difference. Fertility is one of the areas where acupuncture really shines! My health is so much better since I started getting acu tx in 2006 it's night and day for me.

    Welcome!  My sister is an MD but she just does acupuncture now.  Unfortunately, she lives 3 hours away so I can't take advantage of that very often.

    Hello and welcome! Acupuncture and TCM have changed my life! In less than three months I regulated my cycles, warmed up my body and improved by circulation. I had been meaning to start it for a really long time but somehow kept pushing it back... now I wish I hadn't endured period-related discomforts for so long. I was so stupid.
    Good luck on your journey!

    @Piperella don't give up on yoga! Find a class that says beginning, not level 1or 1/2 and with the right teacher it can be the beginning of a beautiful thing.
    @BulgariHeart I love that acu has worked so well for you! I hope you have given your acupuncturist a testimonial it sounds like you have got a good thing going. ;)

    All this acu love warms my heart

    Welcome to the group. I've always been interested in acupuncture but my fear of needles and all things pointy keeps me away. I can't even handle a finger stick.

    @Jenniferk08 I totally understand that fear! I hate finger sticks too. Acupuncture is nothing like a finger stick. That is one of the most painful places in the body to stick a needle- trust me i know from going to acupuncture school!

    I also practice a style called japanese meridian therapy where we gently place the needle on the skin or with a shallow instertion. 99% of the time you wont even feel it. If you were interested I'd recommend finding someone like that near you. Good luck!
