16th week of Acupuncture

Today I will begin my 16th week of acupuncture. I saw LAc and as always, she was wonderful. She told me stories of women that have become pregnant with her treatments. She always makes me feel really positive about the treatments. Today she said that a 43 yo woman became pregnant after 3 months of treatments with her. WOW! Then she told me that a woman that was diagnosed with PCOS, after 3 months of treatment, showed no sign of it on sonogram. Interesting! Let's hope this is the cycle for me!!!!!! We will be BDing lots this cycle.

So she told me to begin my herbal teas on Friday, tomorrow, and see her again next Saturday. She automatically knew that there had been a change in my diet and exercise without me telling her. She asked me if there were any changes or if I had been consuming spicy and/or ice cold beverages because my tongue looked like it had some spots on it! I was scared, and told her not any that I could think of, but maybe. I'm sure she knew, though! I also told her my AF was so weird, that I really only had normal flow on CD1, then heavy CD2, then spotting CD3 & CD4, but that I also had a foul smell. She said that was also related to my diet. So the herbs that I am taking are the ones listed below:
  1. Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinensis—Danggui)
  2. Chinese # 0505011
  3. Chinese # 0509011-20050901
  4. Chinese # 0510081-20051008
  5. Glossy Privet Fruit (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi—Nuzhenzi)
  6. Indian Bread (Poria—Fuling)
  7. Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata—Shudihuang)
  8. Tangshen (Radix Codonopsis—Dangshen)
  9. Twotoothed Achyranthes Root (Radix Ahyranthis Bidentatae—Niuxi)
  10. White Peony Root (Radix Paeoniae Alba—Baishao)

She actually gave them to me the last time I saw her but since I have been on menses and all, I have not even touched them. She gave me some herbs for an additional day to make it until I see her next Saturday:

  1. Chinese Angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinensis--Danggui)
  2. Chinese # 0505011--1--6
  3. Chinese # 0509011-20050901--1.5--10
  4. Chinese # 0510081-20051008--1--10
  5. Chinese # 0510081-20051008--1.5--10
  6. Chinese # 0510081-20051008--2--10
  7. Glossy Privet Fruit (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi--Nuzhenzi)
  8. Prepared Rehmannia Root (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata--Shudihuang)
  9. Tangshen (Radix Codonopsis--Dangshen)
  10. Twotoothed Achyranthes Root (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae--Niuxi)
