After over nine years of not getting pregnant, I am going to try acupuncture to increase my fertility. Since I have not posted in over a year, I'm sure I have no followers. This blog is going to be a way for me to track my acupuncture treatment and its results (if any).
If anyone is reading this, you may wonder why we don't just do the "fertility drugs" route. My husband and I have discussed this at length. Due to my religious and his personal beliefs, we have decided that we would rather not pump me full of chemicals. Many may not agree with our decision, but we really don't care what anyone else thinks.
Others may wonder why we don't adopt. We have considered adoption many, many times. We were set on adopting through foster care. However, I felt in my heart that I will always wonder "what if." Adoption is still an option if acupuncture doesn't work. I'm 36 years old, so pregnancy won't be an option for too much longer. If acupuncture doesn't work, we will likely pursue adoption. Right now, I can't give up on the chance to try one last time. I also feel that it wouldn't be fair an adopted child, if my heart is still wondering if I could have gotten pregnant.
My first acupuncture treatment will be on January 6, 2014. I will post my thoughts after that appointment. I will try to post after each treatment, but I can't promise that will happen.
