Conception

Reflexology and/or accupuncture - recommendations and advice needed please

I've heard on here that reflexology and accupuncture can be helpful for conception so I would like to give it a go but I'm nervous of just picking one out of the yellow pages or from google.

With that in mind, it seems that quite a few of the ladies on here have tried it and I wondered whether someone could recommend anyone in Bucks (or Herts at a push).

Also, is there anything in particular that I should ask for or about, or avoid?

Thanks very much in advance.

Just come across this. I'd also be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences and recommendations. I'm in a similar geography to you.

Hiya. Not in your area at all but try this link for acupuncturists here. I had a lovely acupuncturist before and during my pregnancy who had a specialist interest in reproductive problems and had 3 ladies on her books who went on to conceive after treatment. I also have a friend who was having acupuncture after being diagnosed with secondary infertility and fell pregnant naturally. Don't mean to suggest that it's a miracle cure but I know anecdotally that many people have found it helpful.
Just be sure to get someone who is accredited as there are some cowboys out there. Best of luck.

Intravenous - you've got me googling!

Just found this link for the Acupuncture Fertility Network for anyone who's also looking:
