I just saw this thread and thought I would stop in and tell my story. I first got pregnant in August '11, all seemed to be going great until we discovered an empty sac on the ultrasound at 12 weeks. Second pregnancy was December '11, and I miscarried that one naturally at 6 1/2 weeks.

After that I decided that I wanted to do something proactive for my health and fertility. I sought out local acupuncturists in my area, and ended up booking with a female acupuncturist who specializes in fertility issues. She's Chinese, and I can barely understand her, but DAMN, she's good! Normally my cycles are 30-35 days, but exactly 2 weeks after my beta-hcg went down to 0, I ovulated! We avoided pregnancy that cycle.

Second cycle, my DH was going out of town for work for the whole month. We BD'd on CD 10 and 11, never thought anything would result out of it. Sure enough, I ovulated on CD 14. 10 days later I had my BFP!

Obviously after 2 MCs, I am still nervous about the outcome of this one. But I can say without a doubt that acupuncture regulated my cycles, and this must mean it balanced out my hormones as well. I highly recommend it, and I plan to continue it through my pregnancy as well.

Best of luck!!

Thanks so much for sharing your story Hopestruck!!! Its been a little while since I've caught up on this thread and I'm so happy I have because so many good stories were shared.

I'm so happy that we've all found something natural to help us with our pregnancies!! Wishing you a very healthy and happy 9 months!

I saw an acu/herbalist a couple weeks ago and have been just drinking the teas and no acu sessions. He is getting his PhD in reproductive anatomy, so I'm hoping that his tea will be my lucky charm. The teas make me feel SO much more centered and calm. Not to mention they have replaced my morning coffee because I just feel so great after drinking them (even though the taste is horrid). I've also lost 10lbs, and hope that it is somehow connected to the teas although more likely it is my baby weight falling off from my m/c. (How horrible is it that I gained 10lbs my last pregnancy and I was only pregnant for 10 weeks??)
Anyway this is my happy thread, it keeps me hopeful. Keep us updated please pinksmarties! I want to know when you see that HB!

Hi MightyMom

It's so nice to hear that this is your happy thread!

I was taking a herbal chinese tea thing too that my acupuncture gave me. I've now stopped now though cause it makes me feel sick.
I really recommend the acupuncture but just do whatever you're comfortable with. Good luck and I hope you get your BFP very soon!

I'm 9 weeks today and we had a scan yesterday and our little bubba is growing beautifully! I'm continuing with the acupuncture (once or twice a week) till 12 weeks. I've also been taking progesterone suppositories and aspirin too.

Thanks for sharing your stories everyone!!!!

Hi lily! Glad you had a good scan and all is well. I am now 6+6 and have my scan next wednesday when I will be 8weeks. Acute nausea since 6 weeks which although yucky, is a good sign, so I am pleased. I am on aspirin too (self medicated) and was given 5mg folic acid when I had my last rcmc blood done in March. I hope eveyone esle is doing well

MightyMom · Apr 3rd, 2012, 13:20 PM

Thanks for the update Lily! I think I might go see my acu this week for an appointment.

Thanks for updating pinksmarties.

(Glad?) you are so nauseated, your little bean is sending you lots of signals that she is doing just fine. Hope your scan goes well!!

Glad everything is going well pinksmarties! Definitely 3rd time lucky for us it seems! I've only had small bouts of nausea and been pretty tired but apart from that I've been feeling great!
Good luck with your scan!

Hi ladies just started to read this thread. Its really nice to read positive stories. I miscarried at weekend at 12 weeks and unfortunately ended up having to be admitted due to excessive blood loss and low bp. Things are just starting to settle down. Accupuncture def sounds something I might consider after reading this. I was just wondering when would be a good time to start it. I am still losing at the min and iron levels are quite low. Sorry for tmi. We are going to wait a couple of cycles b4 ttc but I thought this might get cycles back on track. Should I wait a month to see if it returns
first??...I think the wait to ttc will drive me mad and was thinking at least I would be doing something proactive if I did this.

Thank u liilly hope for starting this thread and congrats on your bfp!!!. Wishing u a happy healthy nine months xxx

Hi Apple111

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! Do they have any idea why it happened? 12 weeks along seems so far along. I really feel for you.

I'm no expert on acupuncture but I think that it can help with many different things so I would suggest going once you stop bleeding.
I hope that you find a nice acupuncturist that you feel comfortable with.
Once again I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that the pain eases soon. Sending you a huge hug!
