Acu-to the-puncture

All the worrying was for not...As my husband would say. No big pregnancy bomb was dropped yesterday. Just a sweet God ordained time of sharing some really difficult places we are both in. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to the little things...

On another note, just a little update on how acupuncture is going...

I have officially completed 1 full month of going on a weekly basis, therefore, having gone through one complete "cycle." In case you didn't know, when you are trying to have a baby, your life starts to be defined by your cycle. Pre-ovulation, Ovulation, Potential implantation, Period. Those are the phases. Well, at least mine, that is!

The main difference to be noted so far would be the lack of all symptoms surrounding my period.

Prior to starting acupuncture, I spotted, had cramps, headaches, PMS, and bloating.

This past month, I didn't even know when my period was going to start because I didn't get any of the aforementioned symptoms. I kept waiting and waiting for the spotting to come, it never did, nor did the bad attitude, the cramps, or the bloating.

On one hand, the lack of symptoms was really nice, on the other, it is also kinda nice to be prepared to start your period, especially when you are trying to have a baby! Any change in the norm can lead you down a rabbit trail of "what ifs".

As the second cycle approaches, I have also noticed that the last 2 months, I have gotten the positive on the ovulation test the exact same day. So really, it just seems like things are balancing out.

It should also be mentioned that she does have me taking a more complete prenatal vitamin as well as some herbs. So, in all honesty, those could also play into the change.

However, a month in, that is the noticeable difference.

The best thing to come out of acupuncture yet would honestly be the quiet and prayerful hour that is now built into my schedule on a weekly basis. My hour in the chair has definitely become dedicated to sitting at the feet of Jesus, and bringing him the cries of my heart. Not just for myself, but for those I am surrounded by.

Patiently Praying-

Much Love-
