TTC method?
- Thread starter kel3639
- Start date
I had acupuncture but I'm afraid I don't have a success story to share!
The reason I started it was because before we were TTC, the only thing that seemed to help regulate my periods was a Chinese herb called Dong Quai. So once we were TTC and having trouble, I thought acupuncture+herbs might help.
I do believe the acupuncture helped me with: better sleep, back pain, stress, digestive issues, cold hands and feet. But it did not help with my PCOS. I think this was in part due to miscommunication. I did tell him I had PCOS at the start so was really surprised when after about 4 or 5 months of treatment, he said he'd been thinking I had some other problem but now he realised it was a problem with ovulation. I was like, er yeah, I told you that at the start! To be fair English was not his first language so I would really recommend finding someone who you feel you can communicate well with.
Perhaps if you found someone who specialises in fertility acupuncture that would be better! The guy I saw was more like a GP who treated anything and everything. As I say, I definitely saw benefits, just not the ones I was looking for.
I've tried reflexology too and am considering going back to that. I fell pg naturally but miscarried at 10 weeks, then had 12 weeks of really random bleeding and no ovulation. I saw a reflexologist for a while and I don't know if it was coincidence or what, but I fell pregnant again 13 weeks after my loss. Sadly I miscarried again and have been trying ever since!
Good luck

Acupuncture is with the needles, and reflexology is a form of foot massage - each part of the foot is supposed to correspond with diff parts of your body, so for example my reflexologist would concentrate on the bits that linked to the ovaries, womb, pituitary gland etc.
One thing I forgot to say was it was weird with acupuncture that when the needles went in before ovulation, they could be pretty painful. After I had ovulated though, they didn't hurt at all. Strange!!
Good luck for your appt, let me know how you get on

Wow I didn't know what an Ovacue was so I just googled it and it sounds pretty amazing! Good luck with that Was it expensive?
I'm on my 2nd round of clomid now. Tried plenty of natural supplements/treatments etc but had to admit defeat
I do believe they helped me initially but since it's now nearly 2 years since my last miscarriage time is ticking!!!
