TTC After a Loss

Acupuncture?

Just curious, has anyone tried acupuncture? Specifically for like irregular periods and ovulation problems? I've been looking into it and there is a couple of Acupuncture fertility specialists in my area that do acupuncture in combination with the chinese herbs. I haven't got a period yet since I had the babies, and I am not really expecting to. Before I got pregnant, I never ever got a period without Provera and I never ovulated either. I just wanted to try something different without jumping back into fertility treatments, something to help regulate my cycles. Just curious to see if anyone has tried it?

Re: Acupuncture?

  • One of the midwives I work for swears by it. She works in a medium-sized OBGYN practice, and many of the patients pursue that before drugs and are successful. The acupuncturist actually now goes to the office twice a week now since so many patients use

  • I swear by it as well. Although I didn't have the same issue as you, I noticed many changes in my cycle after going. I would highly recommend trying it!

  • I'm a believer as well! I had months of cycles with no signs of ovulation or OPKs. First cycle with acupuncture was the cycle I got pregnant, and I O'd late after I'd started acupuncture treatment. And I O'd this cycle immediately post m/c, too confirmed
