Chiropractor Update

We got into the Chiropractor a few days early on Thursday morning.  The results were what we wanted because that means he may be able to help us.  We both had the same issue, which is a not so common issue.  We both have pinched nerves to our lower backs caused by alignment issues, but Shawn's is worse than mine (i.e. it's been there longer).  Treatment will be weekly over the next three months or so.  We're hopeful that this is what's causing his low sperm count.  For me it could cause tilting issues, I wonder if it causes tilted uterus since we already know that's tilted.

Shawn has said his back is already feeling better.  I havent really noticed a different with mine, but everyone is different.

We're hoping this will be our cure!  We go back Monday evening for another treatment.

The Chiropractor

Our Chiropractor appointment was this evening and it was nothing like we expected.  We had expected to start treatment today but that wont be until the next appointment in a week and a half.

Today we met with the doctor and discussed why we came.  We also had two xrays done of our backs.  That's stuff I expected to happen.  But we had also expected him to look at the xrays today and discuss what he saw/could do for us.  We also expected to start treatment today. 

On the way out we scheduled our appointment to discuss what he can do for us.  The lady frustrated me because she kept asking if I could come in on my lunch hour and I had to repeat each time that I cant come during my work day.  I have off next Thursday but he's only there in the morning, so it doesnt work for Shawn.  The doctor is not there on Fridays, so the next time I could go in is on the 19th.  I really dont want to wait a week and a half but that's what we have to do.

I'm hoping at the next appointment he will discuss what he thinks he can do for us and start treatment that day.  I really dont want to just talk again.  I really want to get this show on the road!

Chiropractor and infertility

Recently a friend, who is also having trouble conceiving, told me her and her husband have started going to a chiropractor as a part of treatment.  This sounded interesting and mentioned it to Shawn in passing and forgot about it.  Appearently, Shawn did not forget about it.  He called up the insurance company to see what would be covered (it's just a co-pay) and called a chiropractor to set up an appointment for next Wednesday.  He also mentioned why we wanted to be seen and we arent the first couple to be seen there for fertility issues.  I dont know if this will be a one-time visit or if the treatment will be over multiple visits.  We shall see next week!

I've never been to a chiropractor before so I'm a little nervous.  I know this will be easy compared to what we were doing last summer and may have to go through in the future.  I dont know what to expect, so I think that's what's making me a little nervous.

I've gotten bad about taking my vitamins on days I dont work, so the B6 hasnt been working as well as before.  So far I'm doing good this cycle!
