Seeds

I have seeds in my ear. I went to see the acupuncturist on Saturday. She was friendly, obviously new at this, but appeared very thorough. She interviewed me for about an hour. Wanting to know all about my mood, affect, clots during my period, family, my mother's health when I was conceived and carried. She said she wished we had more time. So for those of you considering acupuncture, start early. She said she would work with what we had but would have liked to have more time to work on my liver? and kidneys? So after the interview, she reviewed my tongue and made notes about it. Then I lied down and she felt my pulses and made notes. She asked if I had a hard time turning off my brain. I said 'yes', she said "I can tell by your pulses". what? I have felt many a pulse and never ascertained that.

Then the needles. They were not so bad. Felt like a prick and that was it. She put one in each wrist, one in each foot and about 15 from my sternum to my pubic bone. Set a timer for 15 minutes and then asked if I was ok with her putting seeds in my ear. Sure. Why not. She then proceeded to poke my ear in various spots representing my uterus, liver, ovaries etc.. and where it hurt the most she stuck the seed with a bandage taped over it. The uterus one is the most sensitive. That must be good, right?

She is going out of town so cannot see me right before our IUI, but I am going tomorrow morning for another visit. First visit $80. Tomorrow $60. Hmm.. I hope this works. I enjoy fertility massage much more. It actually feels like it is doing something. This I haven't quite figured out, but I am very open to it.
