Second acupuncture appt, better!

So I went to a new place that specializes in IF. They have all kinda of fertility services and are across the hall from the fertility clinic. They old me many people come in conjunction with iui and ivf. I really liked the lady she was very through not like the last guy I went o. I have read some TCM info, but am a little confused. She told me I need to build strength.she said I have not enough blood, not sure what that means. She also said I need more protein, eliminate cold drinks, limit red meat and dairy. The other guy old me to eat meat and dairy. She said currently I m not strong enough to hold a pregnancy and perhaps my m/c were due to thisor poor eggs. It made me sad. She said it can all be corrected. I feel o broken, I'm supposedly weak, with poor blood and bad eggs???? She put a lot of needles in me and none hurt then put me under a heat lamp. I was roasting, but it felt good. I feel asleep for two hours after. So I go back next week an I'm gonna sign up for fertility yoga classes they have. So hopefully this helps. No af and its bothering me, just wanna move on maybe those needles can start af,lol. I'm just confused about this blood thing and perhaps having bad eggs? Any insight?
Jen - so glad your second appt went well - from the sounds of it - this is what your first appt. should have been like. I've been on the no cold, more protien, no dairy for a while now and honestly feel really great. Please don't feel broken - I know easier said than done coming from someone who constantly feels like this. I think that most women having issues TTC feel broken, but I don't think we are broken, its just our bodies are
I had bad blood too ;)
I started taking Spirulina & drinking a gross super green food drink. As well as eating as many leafy green veggies or green veg as possible.
If you dont have good high quality blood it doesnt support your body the way it should so things dont work as well. I also chalked this up to a bad lining.
I also took CoQ10 for my eggs.
I just did fertility yoga @ home for 10-15 mins a day.
I wouldnt discredit this person based on your last experience that guy sounded like a quack. The basic principles this women talked about are true in any TCM book you read. It also a totally personal diagnosis & it can change on a weekly basis, though not likely, thats why they take pulse & check your tongue each time.
I dont really know how she can tell the state of your eggs thats probably a gross generalization based on age which is not necessarily true.
Dont feel broken. She said its fixable, I think this will be very helpful to you.
