Not so long ago, I decided to give up being a woman. I thought becoming a soldier after my journey as an athlete was my dream, but I was mistaken. What I dreamt about was to have a baby. You see, I never had a boyfriend since I was young. All I knew was I needed to get a gold medal to make my parents proud. Sadly, none of my efforts works. Even though I have won several competitions, they were never proud since it was not in the Olympics. It hurts a lot, so I decided to walk away from that limelight and chose to be a soldier instead. That way, I would have an excuse not to see them in person. I could just let them know I am quite busy to visit and attend our family gatherings.
However, as I turned 30, I became more aware of my femininity. All of my co-soldiers got married and have children. I was only one of the few who have not taken that path yet. Well, there are two reasons why. First, I have no experience with men, and I have never fallen in love with anyone, not even once. However, everything changed when I met this man in my fifth year in the military. He was the reason why I thought maybe it was not too late for me to fall in love and have a baby. But then again, since we were a bit old to conceive, we need some help to make our dreams come true. We heard getting acupuncture for fertility could help us a lot. So, we did what we must. We visited the TCM Clinic in Singapore. Here, let us share with you how we found them.
Searching for TCM Clinic
At first, I was hesitant to go to a TCM Clinic since based on what I know, traditional Chinese medicine is what athletes underwent in Singapore to improve their sports performance. However, I was wrong. This medical practice does a lot of things for you. One of those is to help you conceive and improve your fertility. I only found out about all of these when I went to the TCM clinic, where I usually go when I was still an athlete. It is called Thomson Chinese Medicine. They were still new when I went there before, but now you can see how exceptional and well-known they have become.
How can acupuncture for fertility help you?
First of all, acupuncture for fertility could help you get pregnant. The way it works is different for everyone. Well, in my case, I was able to conceive after undergoing two years of treatment. Even though it took a while, it was worth it! Anyway, other than that, this procedure could also make you feel less bloated and improve your menstruation. Well, as for men, it would enhance the quality of their sperm cells.
When should you get one?
According to my ob-gyn and TCM doctor, I should get one before getting an IVF. That way, your Vitro fertilisation would work well since acupuncture was able to improve and balance my hormone. So, if you are planning to get one as well, make sure to consult your doctor first.
What can you expect from your visit?
Other than using needles, everything is the same as what western clinics do. They would ask for your medical history, question you about your medication, diet, and sleeping habits. There are times they would ask you a few questions that you might find weird, but you have to answer them since that is what you are supposed to do—be honest with your doctor.
Will the needles hurt?
Well, no, but as what my doctor said, it depends on the person itself. However, the pain you would probably feel is like a bite of an ant. So, you would not have to worry about feeling any discomfort at all.
Are there any activities that you need to avoid during treatment?
Exercise, of course! Since we were both soldiers and doing some exercise is part of our routine, I filed a leave of absence. I told my superior that I am planning to get pregnant. Fortunately, they were kind enough to let me go for a while and ask me to come back if things go well as planned.
As much as I wanted to answer all of your questions, I am no expert. I am just a woman who wants to have a baby. Even though I underwent acupuncture for fertility and got pregnant, each treatment is different for everyone. So, if you ever want to know how it works and how it will help you conceive, do not hesitate to call the TCM clinic I visited in Singapore. You would know better how Thomson Chinese Medicine helped me achieve my long wish. For sure, they will do the same with yours!
