acupuncture for infertility?!?!? anyone?

[Turtlemad]

Hey, I'm fascinated to see if this works for you guys. I went for my first consult this evening and I'm feeling really positive about it! Getting my first session next Tuesday! Can't wait! He was so nice and positive and said that he didn't believe in anything being unexplained, that there is always a reason and he was going to find it!! Think I'm going to book twelve sessions once a week! Its kinda expensive so will have to reassess after this!

Hope you don't mind me joining your thread, I am a big fan of accupuncture, although it did not help me get a bfp yet, I really believe it is beneficial, especially for getting rid of stress. Glad you enjoyed your first appointment! I also had a treatment for grief, after I had a miscarriage and it was AMAZING! I seriously felt the relief almost instantly, I hadn't realized I was holding to so much sadness. I hope you can continue with accupuncture and that it helps you!

Turtlemad welcome!!! im excited to hear how it goes for you! how did you like comind? what part of Ireland are you located? I went for a visit last year and feel in love with the whole country!!

PocoHR omg! did yuo read my post about how my first session went??!!?? She hit a point in my ear and said that it was grief. wow blew me away. I honestly am not really griveing about anything, but the more I think about it, I may not be over my mom passing away when I was 15. I havent really talked to anyone about it!!! Strange! I cant wait to go back

hi all
I've been going for acupuncture for a year and a half(TTC 2.5 years, unexplained fertility). I love it for so many reasons! Stress release is a huge part of why I like it. It has also been great to help with other ailments (I love that my acupuncturist can treat so many things at once!). Although it has not help me conceive (yet), I plan to use it in the next couple months when we attempt IUI. Nervous and excited!

Hey west Coast! Glad it is helping you destress, that is one of the main reasons I'm gona try it out!
Starting it in 2days, getting bit worried about the needles bit but my friend said I will be fine it doesn't hurt... She did it for other reasons and she said it changed her life, I'm feeling positive about it!
How often is everyone doing accupuncture?
Starting my clomid tonight, dreading it... Anyone else on clomid this month?

Acupuncture is a unique feeling. Almost like someone poking you but other times it can be more intense(my ankles and feet especially). Just try to breath, close your eyes and relax. When the needles are in, I'm totally mellow and am never ready for the lights to be switched on and needles to be taken out! I honestly could go very day! But that is way too expensive! I started off going every other week and tried some herbs. But it became to $, so I ended up just going before i was expected to ovulate. I haven't been this month and I'm waiting on results from my AMH test (tuesday!) to deside where we're heading next. I'll likely start Clomid on my next day 3, at 100g. I was on it last fall for 3months at 50g. I felt slightly dizzy but otherwise fine, so I'm looking forward to it! I'm hoping to do IUI in Aug, but depending on my AMH results the doc could be pushing us towards IVF . We resently discovered one ovary is smaller and my FSH level has jumped so I'm anxious for the test results to confirm our plan. Let me know how both Clomid and acupuncture go for you!

 

[Moorebetter]

West coast welcome!!!! Im glad to hear it helps with your stress level too!!! Mine has gone down so much!

Those points are the same that are painful for me. My practioner says that these points are connected to my luteal phase issues. The tops of my feet hurt on one side when she inserts the needles. I find that most times depending on how my energy is flowing, I have pain on one side when I am getting treatments. I always look at it as a good sign that we are getting the energy flow working correctly.

Evening ladies! Just thought would let u know how I got on! It was really good, he did some stretching to realign my spine and hips as he reckoned that I was slightly off line... Felt good after though! Then he did a few needles, only one that I felt was the one in my ankle but only for a moment! So far don't feel much different, bit more energetic then usual for a Tuesday night maybe...
Anyways to everyone And here's hoping to some changes this year!!!

 

[Moorebetter]
