Has anyone tried it for TTC or anything else? What did you think?

    I started going in August I think.  I initially went for a rash that wouldn't go away but the lady I see also specializes in IF.  It definitely made a huge difference with the rash, but it was also at the beginning of my 75 day cycle that needed to be ended with provera. 

    So yes, I believe that it works.  I think it's great to try.  I also think it needs to be done in conjunction with traditional meds.

    There were a handful of GP'ers who used this earlier this year. I'm trying to remember who, but can't do it.

    I think two of them got BFP's right away with it and one didn't...

    I have been going for smoking cessation and chronic ankle pain.

    To me it's alittle weird but this has been the easiest time I've had quitting smoking and while I still have pain it's not as bad. I was limping every morning until it got loosened up, I noticed about a week ago I wasn't limping anymore.

    I do have to wonder how much is the "power of suggestion". Either way I'm having a good experience with it and haven't heard of it NOT working by anyone whos gone.

    I started going in October-so far I love it. My CM amount has increased-my lp is longer and my PMS symptoms have pretty much gone away. And if nothing else it is SO realxing. My accupuncturist specializes in fertility which is great as well!  GL!

    I thought Lexi did it? And she got a BFP after 2 cycles.

     I hope you don't mind if I jump in. . . but how did you find and accupuncturist that specializes in fertility?  I have tried googling - but the sites are not always clear.  GL to all you ladies!

    When I found one (but didn't end up going) I got recommendations through my local nestie board.

    I'm hoping to give this a shot.  A local nestie gave me the name of her acupuncturist, I just need to call my insurance agency and see what coverage I have.

    I tried it for TTC (to lengthen my LP) as well as pain relief for sciatic problems I was having.

    I really liked it.  I read a lot about it in the book The Infertility Cure before going and I also changed my diet according to the recommendations in the book.  The cycle I started acupuncture I got my BFP.  Although I wouldn't say the acupuncture is why, my cycle did feel different (slightly earlier O, plus O pains which I'd never had before).
