Acupuncture Statistics

[MrsHowley81]

There are a lot of threads about Acupuncture but there doesn't seem to be any that show how many people have had success and how long it takes them to get pregnant, So I have to decided to start this thread to see when any of you started with Acupuncture and how long it takes for the treatment to work and to help us get pregnant, and to share our experiences with the treatment good or bad everyone is welcome and it would be great to see how effective the treatment is

I had 8 sessions of acupuncture earlier this year to help regulate my periods and stop spotting after a suspected early miscarriage. It certainly helped with my periods, they are now heavier (they were very scant before) and it stopped the spotting the day I went. I had a pain free period last month for the first time in my life. This one hasn't been quite as painless though. She also gave me some herbs.

I was told to see what happens with my periods etc for a month or two and then get back in touch to see what we could try next. I liked this, as I certainly didn't feel I was being ripped off - I would have dutifully gone every week if I'd been told! So, I think I'm going to give it another go this month. I'm in the CD2 miseries so need an April Plan.

After going 6 months with no sign of AF & bloods/scan all came back normal I thought i'd try accupuncutre and after my first session AF came! I went for 4 months and it really helped with my Af's I have one every month now although they are still not exactly regular.

 

[MrsHowley81]

Thanks ladies, It's great hearing such positive things, I get my first AF this month is the first one since starting Acupuncture, so we shall see what happens

I have just been to see the acupuncturist for the first tim e- only a chat for the session - have to book again to get a treatment. Seems pretty expensive - £50 a session, so good to hear from people that it works!! Good thread.

I have gone 6 times ( once a week) and am just so much more calm. I am not as obsessive as i was a month ago, so i def think this will help with ttc. Stress int good for anything, esp ttc. Shes also getting me to eat healthier, giving me good tips, so i am sure that will help too.

I started acupuncture on the 24th March and have had 2 sessions so far. FX it helps with my pre-AF spotting and scant AF. Its too early to tell whether it helps or not but I'll keep you posted x

 

[MrsHowley81]

Had my 3rd session today was fab as always had needles in my wrist, my belly, my ankles and feet, was totally relaxed and now have that lush warm feeling.I ovulated this month for definite which is great news. Have had no spotting at all this month barely any headaches and my mood is great I always get terrible moods on and before AF it has been quite the opposite, so something is definitely changing

I had 3 sessions of acupuncture over a month, before getting my BFP

Wow Waitinforastalk thats is great news. How long had you been trying before you started Acupuncture? and had you been diagnosed with any problems?

I'd been TTC for 7 cycles and NTNP for a few months before that- so almost a year in total. I actually had a doctor's appointment booked to start getting things in motion for tests etc but I got my BFP 2 days before the appointment

Great to hear your news waitinforastork.

I have picked up the acupuncture again this month and had a session pre ov (I'm not charting this month - long story) but I have had a LOT more EWCM than usual, prob the most since I came off the pill 18 months ago. And I've ditched the grapefruit juice. I'm due to go about a week before my period to support any possible implantation. I came away feeling so much calmer - its not cheap but def money well spent for me.

 

[heres_hoping]

I've done 4 sessions so far- started to try it after 6 months TTC and on;t 1 AF in that time- I was getting waaay too stressed not knowing what's going on! I had been fro bloods which came back normal, currently waiting for scan but decided to try accu aswell.

So glad I did, after 4 sessions my BBT is up and sustained so I'm sure i've finally ov'd. I'm also much clamer and definatly less stressed as I feel like things are improving!
