Question

So I came across this book and bought it. It's really interesting. There's a quiz to take https://jillblakeway.com/wp-content/quiz/

Then There's info on your fertility type and recommendations for supplements and lifestyle changes.

I got "Dry" meaning I am often hot and thirsty and have little CM. my acupuncturist said the same thing. I have a Yin deficiency and should eat moistening foods and avoid spicy, caffeine, intense exercise.

Try it and tell me if it makes sense for you. You can skip the part on bbt if you don't temp.

WESTERN MEDICINE:
Endometriosis, Fibroids, Uterine polyps, PMS, Mittelschmerz (pain during mid-cycle)

TCM PERSPECTIVE:
The tightness of the Stuck type stems from poor energy and blood flow throughout the body, or what is referred to as qi and blood stagnation. Over time, it can lead to stagnation in the reproductive system, which can cause ovulation problems and inflexible fallopian tubes. Blood stagnation can cause painful or stop-and-start periods, and can lead to reproductive system obstructions such as endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, and cysts.
