Acupuncture

Well, I thought we were out of the tttc journey until my husband got back but his date was pushed back a little so we are going to try one more IUI at the end of September.

I have heard stories about women doing acupuncture for TTC and thought maybe I would look into it if I saw results. Do any of you guys do acupuncture? If so, what days in your cycle do you do it? I had read the day before IUI and the day after but wanted others input

 TIA!

Acupuncture can take some time to work. It really is suggested to use it weekly - bi weekly for months ahead of treatment cycles. A lot of people because of financial reasons will just use it before and after treatment, which is okay but you will not get the full effects of just doing it 2 times and done.

Be sure to look into a acupuncturist that specializes in fertility because there are some pressure points that need to be avoided after ovulation. 

Good luck

I love acupuncture! I go once a week, but I don't usually try to schedule it at any specific day during the cycle. It has helped to regulate my cycles when I'm not medicated and it's also very relaxing. If you're thinking of doing it, I would start right away to give it time to start working. GL!
