As my accupuncturist stared at my tongue, I hoped she wouldn't see the packet of creme eggs I had munched my way through minutes earlier. Luckily, she tells me chinese medicine is all about balance, so as long as I counteract the creme eggs with my 5 a day I should be on track!
The creme eggs had been my pick me up after being told that it is very likely I have polycystic ovaries. My blood test results showed my progresterone levels were fine, which means I ovulated (yey!) but my hormone levels were topsy turvey. I am booked in for an ultrasound to make a firm diagnosis. Although it's obviously disappointing, I am not surprised by this as I knew I had the symptoms and was ready to deal with it.
I went straight from the doctors to my accupuncture appointment which was surprisingly pleasant. Lying under a warm lamp I felt a bit like a chick that was ready to hatch - with the addition of quite a few needles! I had them all the way from my forehead to my ankles to 'clear the damp in my system'.
C is unconvinced that accupuncture can aid fertliity but he is happy to support me if I want to give it a go, and I figure there's no harm in trying.
It was also a big day for C has as he took his 'sample' in that morning for his sperm analysis and we are back at the doctors again next week for the results. I hope more creme eggs won't be needed!
