A little of this, a little of that

Netflix delivered the first disc of the last season of Queer as Folk today, and we have already devoured it. Three solid hours of television. I think my brain is mush, but I just want to see what happens next! (No spoilers, please.) We should get another disc on Thursday or Friday, whoopee!

We decided to do a trial period of acupuncture - 4 sessions, more than we can afford, but then we can see how we like it and whether we think it's helpful. And also see what they recommend, because if they recommend way more than we could manage we'll have to say no. There have been studies, though, which say that acupuncture can increase effectiveness of infertility treatments by almost half! We'll see what happens.

I also think we decided (though I could be wrong, I always think we've decided and then find out we're still deciding) not to continue looking at apartments. We do want to stick around here long enough to give the TTC thing a good try, but we also want to get on with our lives and head to Western Mass. So we have our doctor appointment on the 26th and will see what he recommends. Then we will try that for a little while and hope for success. Then we can talk about when to house hunt, whether we're successful or we've decided to move on to adoption. It's just so frustrating to look at cheaper apartments and find that they aren't anywhere near as good as what we have... and we really want a house. I grew up in an apartment and don't want to die in an apartment, KWIM?

Another hot one today. Love it.

Sorry this is so late....My house is torn down, and I'm cheating, and enjoying my friday, and being here.....

*coughs*

SO. Catching up. Trying.


As far as acupuncture, my chiropractor offers that, and I tried it recently with my PCOS. I am an odd duck, and I bleed and bleed and bleed....I'm edging up on 5 months now.

I only had the money to do it for three or four sessions. Stupid money. But during that time, even though I didn't stop altogether, I **COULD** tell a difference, and I felt MUCH better. So, for what it's worth....

He also would tell me, while flipping the needles into my flesh, that he'd had three patients that came in for fertility, and all three of them had become pregnant within a year.

Could be a factor to help with the process, if not the ultimate answer!


As for the experience, I shook like a leaf the first time....and enjoyed it the others. It kinda feels vaguely like an ant bite, then fades away. Once all the pins were placed, I would calm down, and really relaxed.

Here's hoping that you purchase, and your experience, is as good as mine turned out to be!!!

Don't worry about replying late or whatever. I totally appreciate your feedback! That's awesome that you felt like just a couple of sessions of acupuncture were helpful. I say that because I know that the most we could possibly afford is one session a week (and even THAT is stretching it, ugh) so it's nice to know that there could be benefits even if we can't do more. I know there's no way we could continue to do two a week, although we're trying two a week for the next two weeks to see how/if I respond and to see if we like it. My first one is today! I'm not nervous but I'm not really sure what to expect, either. Maybe I will bring my camera (but I doubt they will let me take pictures ha!).

The research shows that people who are doing infertility treatments AND acupuncture have like 50% more success. So I totally want to get some of that!! :)
