Anyone out there trying this?

I have my first consult on Monday. One of the RE's in the office I go to is a licensed acupuncturist.

I've done it for other conditions, and swear by it! But it's not for everyone.

I did 10 sessions and decided it wasn't for me. Truth be told, I think it was the Acupuncturist that I didn't like.

I would be open to trying it again, but with a different practitioner. I haven't done this because it is expensive and isn't covered by my plan.

I've heard it is supposed to be great for fertility and relaxation.

I had 10 sessions, went every Friday when I was obsessed with TTC, which was about 2 months into TTC, she had me start charting which caused me to stress so I stopped charting, I did feel the sessions helped me relax temporarily. After 10 sessions, I lost hope honestly, still TTC, on to month 9 but no longer putting hope on acupuncture for helping me conceive. Since every body is different, good luck to you.

I started going on July 18th and my acupuncturist said I'd be pregnant within 2-3 months. I got a BFP on September 14th, and altough it ended in miscarriage, I do think the acupuncture helped. I'm going to keep going weekly through the end of the year and then re-evaluate. I figured it's so much cheaper than even doing one IUI with the RE so I want to maximize my chances of getting pregnant this year and then if not, I'll look to Western medicine.

I did this with DS and swear it's what helped regulate my cycles. I always O'd around 20+ days and the cycle I did acupuncture, I O'd exactly on day 14 and got pregnant. Of course it could've been a fluke but I'll take it. I did one session as an overall body session and did a session the week I was planning on O'ing. GL!

I went to acupuncture a few months ago, but I really didn't like the acupuncturist. She scared me even more about my ability to get pregnant just so she could try to get more money out of me. The cycle I was going ended up lasting 50 days so I gave up on the acupuncture thinking it was making my cycles worse. However, my next cycle was a really good one, and I really believe it was because of the acupuncture. I Oed on CD20 (instead of my normal CD23-28) and had a lot of EWCM (which I normally don't notice),and my LP was 13 days instead of my usual 11. Unfortunately, DH was out of town during that entire fertile window. Crying

I started going again this cycle - to a different acupuncturist. It certainly won't hurt for you to try it. Good luck!
