I do it weekly... I think Jodes does as well. Others I've seen only do it 1-2 per cycle.
My lady reckons its good to get one in very early in the cycle (like CD2 or 3), then one a day or two before ov, then one in the mid LP. But I just figure once a week is easier, and I adjust the days a bit to try and hit the points she mentions.
TBH I don't know how much longer I'm going to continue with it - it's been 3 months now, the $$$ is starting to mount up! (on top of all the other expense associated with TTC). She has for sure been successful in raising my average FP temps (reckons I had the 'cold uterus' before! and has gradually risen the last 3 months) but hasn't particularly been successful in bringing my ov earlier, OR, extending the LP (two other things she was trying to do). So....... I don't know. This lady is lovely, but I might try someone else, or just stop altogether at some point. Would definitely come back to it in pregnancy as I hear a lot of good things about it for helping to prevent miscarriage, and prepare for labour.
The person I have in mind charges $50 / session. My husband wants to do it, too!

My DH does acupuncture for back and knee issues... I'm trying to persuade him to get his acu lady to put some extra ones in the super swimmer areas! He's worried she's going to stick it in his wang though

thanks ladies for sharing your experiences with acupuncture. I'm totally convinced by all traditional treatment.
Can anyone here recommend a good acupuncturist with reasonable prices in South London or anywhere in London?
Thanks and
Good luck to all!

thanks, for the advice. I have the book by Zita West and am finding it quite helpful, i should probably check it to see if she lists any qualified acupurantists.
The prices in London seem to so expensive - generally most clinics seem to charge between £75-£85 for first consult and then about £70 per session thereafter.
Hi ladies. First time on this thread. I have my 1st ever acupuncture appt this Tuesday and I'm a little anxious, nervous, excited.......all lumped into 1.
I have been TTC for 6 months via IUIs and no BFP yet. I have heard many and mostly positive things about acu for TTC so I'd figure i'd give it a shot.
How long have you girls been getting acu and how often?
