Made an appointment for acupuncture!

in TTC After a Loss
I'm going on Tuesday evening. I'm hoping it will extend my LP but i think maybe it will help me overall- especially stress and emotionally. It's a little pricey but i want to try it and if it works it will be worth every penny and more. I am a little nervous about the needles... i hope it doesn't hurt!  Thanks for the encouragement and advice ladies. I seriously love you all <3

    I think you're gonna love it. The needles DO NOT hurt like the needles they use to give you shots or draw your blood. Just breathe deeply and let yourself fall asleep if you need to. Enjoy!

    I would love to hear how/if it ends up helping you. I have a short LP and have considered looking into this too. Good Luck!

    He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

    I've never done it, but I can't imagine so many people would do it if it weren't truly relaxing or if it hurt!  Enjoy yourself.

    I did acupuncture when TTC with DS.  It was AMAZING!!!  I felt soo relaxed and honestly almost fell asleep while waiting.  The needles were nothing...seriously I could hardly feel any of them and the few I did feel weren't painful at all. 
    Hope it helps you!  GOod luck

    you are gonna LOVE it!! I get so excited for my weekly appointments.  The needles don't hurt, maybe just a quick pinch but nothing you couldn't bear, it also depends on the acupuncturists technique too.  Mine has a more gentle technique.

    Does anyone know if there is a certain time during the cycle where the results are more ideal?  I have been considering going to one.  

    It depends why your using it for. If its purely for getting of with no cycle issues, the 4 days before ovulation to stimulate te egg and 7 days after to encourage implantation. Most acupuncturists thoUgh will want to see you weekly or every other week for the first 4 visits before putting you on a scheduled plan. 

    Ive been going for 3 months now, and I've finally graduated to the twice a month plan. We've been working on cycle regulation though, and I ha a pg/loss too during this time do that complicated things a bit...

    Acupuncture is wonderful!  I had several treatments between my cp and 2nd mc and it really helped to make me feel relaxed and though I had some control in this awful situation.

    I'm heading back for more tomorrow as my body is having a hard time recovering from my last D&C.  

    Relax and enjoy!
