Acupuncture success with TTC? - Page 6

I would recommend acupuncture as a permanent fixture in your life really. It is holistic, meaning they treat EVERYTHING that is ailing you. And they are not limited like Western doctors seem to be. You say your teeth hurt everyday, they probably have a tea for that. I say try it ASAP! Not just for TTC but to make you feel better overall. They may even have a tea remedy for your anemia.

Just visiting! I am the lady pink mentioned whose cycles have regulated since starting acupuncture two months ago.

Very sorry for your so recent loss apple. I didn't start my acupuncture until 6 months post loss, but the acupuncturist told me that traditionally they would start immediately and treat you for 3 months before suggesting you conceive again, so you can build up a good lining and iron levels and have your hormones rebalance. He suggested I don't try to conceive for the first 3 months of him treating me, which I'm afraid I have ignored but haven't had any success yet. I am just about to start cycle 3 after starting the acupuncture and hoping this will be the month.

My acupuncturist had the same philosophy. I actually went to her while I was still bleeding from my last m/c and that was totally fine. She wanted me to wait 3 cycles, but after the first one (chart + length) came back perfect, she said we could try right away. We *never* expected it to happen on the 2nd cycle, as my OH was going away for work for the month, and we only DTD twice on the CD 10 and 11. Since I usually O'd anywhere from CD 18-21 in the past, we thought for sure nothing would come of it. However, lo and behold, I had a super positive Opk on CD 14, and a temp spike the next day. Somehow, hubby's sperm managed to wait around 3-4 days for that egg. I got a pos hpt at 10dpo. All this to say that I think your body will get pregnant again when it's ready to, because despite the odds our little one willed itself into existence! Its part of the reason I have a "good" feeling about this pregnancy. I just hope my intuition is right!

Hi Hopestruck

I'm so sorry and sad to see that you have suffered another loss (your special angel).

I know there isn't anything that can be said to make you feel better. I just hope that you are still holding hope that your time will come soon and that you have some strength to keep trying. I truly believe that you will get your baby.
