acupuncture and slippery pulse

in Pregnant after IF
Congratulations to all of you ladies over here!  I'm on the TTTC board.  My husband and I have been trying since November 2010 and received an unexplained diagnosis.  This month, we had our first cycle of IUI with Clomid...We had two previous cycles of Clomid with TI.  This cycle, I also started trying acupuncture, which is definitely out of the box for me.  However, a few days ago, my acupuncturist said that I had a "slippery pulse" and that is a type of pulse pregnant women have.  I am 10dpo now so I will test in a few days.    Has anyone else heard of this?  TIA!  :)

    Yes, there is a change in your pulse when you are pregnant, my acu also calls it "slippery." GL to you. I hope you end up with great news!

    I loved acupuncture and after 2.5 years of ttc...I truly believe it's what helped us conceive.

    It's funny that you mention this because I was with my acupuncturist through 2 IUI's and 2 months of forced breaks due to cysts.

    i went to 1 appt right after my IUI and a follow up a week later. She told me she wasn't going to make a follow up appointment because she didn't want to jinx me..sure enough that's when I got my first postive beta back. She told me she already knew by my pulse and that treatment session and that's why she didn't want to make a follow up appt for me!
