Kelli - Martha Stewart had an acupuncturist on her show the other day. They were talking the audience through the whole process while Martha was getting the needles put in her. There was one in her head that she said made her right thumb tingle. It seemed to be normal, but maybe they just didn't want to freak out on tv. One thing that twerked me off was the Dr. from Mt. Sinai they had on taking questions from the audience. The very first question was from a woman asking if AP could help her conceive her #2. The Dr. actually said that because the vast majority of infertility is caused by stress that AP could absolutely help because it helps you to relax. I wanted to punch him. "Vast majority" my a$$!
About the books, I've heard of so many books, like The Fertility Cure and Is Your Body Baby Friendly and books about fertility diets, etc. I'd be totally willing to read and follow any of those plans, but has anyone ever heard of a book that helps tubal issues? We have no idea why they're blocked, but it seems like no diet would make a difference for me?
