Have you read the book, "The Infertility Cure"??? If not, I highly suggest it! It's provided some valuable info to me and I'm still seeking out an acu that I trust enough to go to here in Missouri! *I found a fantastic one in Georgia who I saw for about six months before moving... Ugh!*<BR/><BR/>I do hope you give acu a try again and have great success as I thoroughly enjoyed it for sure!The Swann'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897080926759273403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-32282917023866113042009-01-12T07:36:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:36:00.000-08:00OMG that is crazy!!!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that!<BR/><BR/>Okay, I have to put out a reco for my acupuncturist who I love, love, love and would totally move into my house. She's Caylie See at Pacific Fertility Center in San Fran for any Bay Area folks interested. She is a godsend. She also has her own clinic, Nest, in the city. Before I ever went to a support group or found any empathetic IF bloggers, I had her. She "gets it" and will always be one of the most compassionate people I've encountered in my journey.<BR/><BR/>Shelby, if you do try again (tho I wouldn't blame you if you never let another person stick a needle in you again), I hope you get someone like Caylie!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462141149078143157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-73007244794165570152009-01-11T23:26:00.000-08:002009-01-11T23:26:00.000-08:00and you got to PAY for that privilege?! how awful...and you got to PAY for that privilege?! how awful.lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-49858785943653609212009-01-11T22:29:00.000-08:002009-01-11T22:29:00.000-08:00Aaaah, now I know!

We are in the same boat. The only diff is that we have yet to embark on any treatments yet. We are still letting nature take its course though it has been 3 years since we got married.

You sure got lucky, kiddo.<BR/><BR/>I have had several acupuncturists tell me that I need to eat meat, despite having been a vegetarian for almost 20 years. A couple made a strong recommendation with the understanding that they would not interfere with my ethical practices, but one kept insisting that I <I>had</I> to start eating meat. And not fish or even poultry, for which many "vegetarians" make exceptions, but lamb and organ meat. <BR/><BR/>I have made a lot of dietary changes because of TCM suggestions, but the suggestions came from people that I don't think are quacks.<BR/><BR/>Better luck with the next one!Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557679011566521438.post-39217758356899921382009-01-11T21:28:00.000-08:002009-01-11T21:28:00.000-08:00OMG, I would have not-so-politely walked right on ...OMG, I would have not-so-politely walked right on out the door. Sorry that you ended up with such a loon!<BR/><BR/>And yup, betas sure are freakin' expensive. Every time I get blood drawn I look at that tiny needle and think, "There's at least $100 down the drain." (I've exceeded my insurance's allotment...
