Acupuncture Successes?

[LilSluz]

Anyone had BFP success after acupuncture?

I'm >35, MC 2x, in my 4th week of acup & just got my first +OPK at a "normal" time after 9-10 months of -OPKs. Just wanted ot hear some "success stories" & "swear-by-its" if there were any...

DH won't do any "prcoedures that aren't natural" 9or at least that he's not involved in) & I'm turning 39 this month...

Whilst acupuncture didn't help me get pregnant, it helped me in LOTS of other ways. It's helped with my anxiety & low mood, mood swings and also has improved my circulation.

I've stopped going for the time being as it's just too expensive for me right now, but I did get a lot of benefits from it.

My acupuncturist was really honest, though, and told me that without knowing WHY I wasn't falling pregnant, it was unlikely he could do anything specifically to help. He was a large driving force behind me pushing for my FS referral.

Yeah, I've had a couple of people swear by it. One friend was 39, had tried everything for 5 years, gave up on IVF & all of it, started doing acup & then BFP on Xmas Day.

But, perhaps the common theme is stress reduction, relaxation, blood circulation, pain relief and more positive energy?

Definitely can't hurt, but I wanted ot see if anyone else had success

Thanks!

im looking into this to as i do get anxious, and stressed easily need to learn how to relax and not tense up. sessions seem expensive but may be worth a try if it gets me my bfp

I know of one person on another forum who had acupuncture and got pregnant, it was whilst on fertility drugs and after a laparoscopy as well though. So can't really put it down to the acupuncture.

maybe it just destresses and relaxes you then?

Yeah, too much stress alone can mess w/your body chemistry, cause illness, create pain, so why would we not think that it could mess with our cycles, hormones &/or implantation?

If you can possibly afford it, I think it's worth a try, anyway. Good luck & report back if it works please!
