So as you may know I am officially a patient of acupuncture and no longer of my RE. And while I love it and feel very liberated by the whole thing it's kind of weird. For months I took Clomid days 3-7, visited the Doctor twice a week to check my follies, knew there were mature ones there and then gave myself the trigger. After that was many planned nights of BD'ing and when that didn't work I did daily shots and more monitoring of my follies and I always knew. I knew exactly what my body had done ( or had not done) and now I don't. Now I see my acupuncturists every Friday, eat super healthy ( BTW it is so hard to eat a Traditional Chinese Medicine diet) and have faith in God and in my body that He perfectly designed. It's a whole new level of faith that I have acquired, some days more easily than others to believe. But today is one of those good days. A day that I have complete faith in the Lord and in what He has made my body capable of doing. Sure I might not see my follies on a screen twice a week anymore but thats what faith is, believing without seeing. And I believe....

Heather,
Thanks for the glossary! Now I know what an RE is! :)
I hear you about the diet. When I saw an acupuncturist, it was because I was dealing with chronic yeast infections that were just horrible. I saw the acupuncturist and a naturopath, and both made dietary recommendations -- which were pretty much the antithesis of what I normally eat. Doesn't say much for what I normally eat, but it WAS hard, bordering on impossible.
Thinking of you!

I know it's hard girl but hang in there!!! It really can work. TCM did AMAZING things for my body. Not only did it make me ovulate but it must have done something really great in there with our timing of 9 days out, so I am convinced it worked miracles. What diet did they put you on?
I'm glad you like your accupuncturist. Something I will probably try next cycle if this one doesn't work.
Love the wedding pics BTW.
Faith is very hard....and I think God knew it would be very hard for us. And for this reason He only requires us to have faith of a musterseed....which is very very small. But even I still have hard times finding just that little ounce of faith.
