Has any one ever used acupuncture to help with TTC? Or just in general for other health issues?
Wondering if anyone has any recommendations in the metro area. I am mostly looking for help with TTC, but any suggestions would be helpful! TIA.

Re: Acupuncture?
For my IVF cycle I saw Dr. Zhuo at Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. She specializes in infertility.

Here are a couple sites you can search for acupuncturists in the area.
Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your post. I used Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Center near Southdale. They specialize in fertility issues. Dr Zhuo is a miracle worker, and I highly recommend her!

I actually see a acupuncturist for severe pain related to my menstrual cycle- we're talking tingling, I can't feel my legs, I can't think straight because I'm in so much pain I vomit/cry in front of my male boss (embarrassing!) pain.
The first month I went I was going twice a week for two weeks then once a week for two weeks, and I literally felt NO pain with my next period. The second month my acupuncturist suggest I go twice, I made it once (with the second appointment being the day I got my period) and had a lot of pain....This last month, I went twice and although I has some pain, is was very manageable!
I will say, acupuncture has helped regulate and shorten my cycles. I've been very pleased with my experience with acupuncture. I go to the HFA alternative medicine clinic across the street from HCMC and see Uli.
