I saw my amazing acupuncturist yesterday and had a check-up/check-in with her. I told her about our consult and that Dr Opie would like us to move forward next cycle and that we told him we weren't ready. I also let her know that he doesn't want us waiting until summer for fear of lower AFC's. She felt my pulses and agrees with me that I need to let my body heal and replenish before starting the whole IVF craziness again. The plan is for me to eat healthy and exercise heavily to try to lose weight in the next couple of months. Healthy eating = Gluten Free as much as possible, cow dairy free, adding goat dairy and lots of veggies and eating most of my food cooked and not raw. In March I go back to see her, and she'll prescribe a liver detox for me. I'll continue the healthy eating and exercise and then check in again in April. In April I'll hopefully start the suppression cycle with the hope that we'll do stims in May with a May retrieval and transfer. I'll increase acu sessions accordingly as we get closer to suppression/stims. After talking with her I feel a bit hopeful.
On another note... my 1st of 2 remembrance necklaces arrived this week. This is the "dressier" one that I won't necessarily wear every day. I wore it to work, and the little one was constantly trying to touch/play with it. I'm really happy with it and to have a reminder of Rowan.
The picture is a bit blurry, but it's an emerald cut peridot gemstone. Peridot is the August birthstone.
