Thinking about trying the Traditional Chinese Medicine way....
im thinking of trying TCM... anyone have any info on it? im talking to a friend of a friend who has been doing this for 5 years, and she swears by it. she also mentioned that the longest one of her clients ever took to get pregnant was 8 months.... Would be interesting to hear your guys' opinion on this...
I am getting my last bit of bloodwork done and then hopefully get my referral to an OB/Gyn who will regulate my cycles and maybe put me on clomid, but now im confused as to which route I should go....

Since you're in your 20s & assuming you and your partner have no fertility issues, why not go for TCM? They do more than just acupuncture (which helps with blood flow). They also are good listeners, are positive, answer questions regarding herbals/supplements that your doctor may not feel comfortable answering (due to lack of training on the dr's part). I've heard nothing but good news about them & just started seeing one myself. It's very relaxing. If you can afford it, you could always do both at the same time (labs + OB/Gyn & TCM).

I agree with eat2nourish. I think that traditional (allopathic) medicine only has so much to offer and sometimes I don't want to use medications that have a gazillion possible side effects or can even be harmful to a pregnancy. There's a reason God invented nature. =) Best of luck.
