So, how long do I get to keep using the "HEY! I'm on Clomid!" excuse for being a total bitch? Does that last all month, ending with a grand spectacle of PMS and then a new, fresh start? Or is it only good for the days 5-9 that I actually took the drug? Well, lets just say for all intents and purposes, I am choosing the former.
Dan told me I should get a t-shirt that says the quote above after I had a larger than normal reaction to 2 messages from my acupuncturist's receptionist telling me I was late for my 2:00 appointment when the card CLEARLY said 2:30, damnit!!! While I waited for my appoinment, I read through a miniature book of positive sayings about opening yourself to all of humanity and judging no one. I SOOO want to be like that. But it is SO fucking hard when everyone is SO goddamned ANNOYING!!
I just want to say that the acupuncture was WONDERFUL. It was relaxing and centering and I love love LOVE this woman! I was already pretty sure this would be part of my treatment plan, then I read this and I was convinced. This dream lady claims to have had a 78% success rate in 2004 for her clients trying to get pregnant. How many RE's can claim that?!! I am, of course, always a skeptic, but I will give this a chance. It can't hurt. My only complaint is that my belly button smelled like a stale cigar from the Moxa she burned. I couldn't even stand MYSELF yesterday afternoon!
i actually didn't feel like a raging cornhole till a few days before my period with clomid. so i'd use it all month :)

I wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant. Did acupuncture. Got pregnant. Fast. Now, I'm not 100% certain it was the acupuncture, but something worked. And if nothing else, it made me feel wonderful, and that had to have been good for something.

I'm not an acupuncture believer (tried it, dont' think it made a difference either way), but I see no reason NOT to do it. I hope it helps you.
