When is enough, enough? I ask myself this as I drive home from my appointment with my massage therapist. She's just performed CranioSacral Therapy on my uterus. It's non-invasive, pleasant even. And who knows? It might even help. It's what's tucked into my wallet that I'm pondering - a business card she gave me for a chiropractor that specializes in a procedure called NUCCA (named for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association).
My massage therapist is the first to acknowledge that it sounds crazy, but that chiropractic treatments may help address fertility issues. So I think: Why not? Which brings me back to my initial question: When is enough, enough? When I'm pregnant? When I've run out of money for treatments? When I've exhausted every potential fertility-enhancement option under the sun?
What this underscores for me is the perfectly captive and desperate market many fertility-challenged women are. I'm one of them. A logical, well-educated, well-read woman. Have I lost all reason or am I simply being open-minded, willing to consider any non-invasive, safe treatment that may lead me down the pregnancy path?
These questions come fast on the heels of yet another potential route to explore: Hypno-Fertility (God, is there any way I can write this without sounding like a total flake?). I mean, come on! But it actually sounds really good: "Guided visualization whilst in a relaxed state." Nothing wrong with that. At the very least, it's yet another option to contemplate. But before I do, I've taken the NUCCA business card out of my wallet and placed it on my desk. A logical first step...
