Acupuncture - any success stories?

[CakeInMyFace]

I'm thinking about trying this after 12+ months ttc #2. Am currently having blood tests but I've been reading that this can really help with fertility. I'm 37 and worried that I've left things too late and wishing now we had started sooner. So many friends have new babies and I'm starting to feel quite desperate and willing to try almost anything. I've tried preseed which hasn't worked yet, on our third month now of SMEP and thought maybe this is worth a go?

Has anyone done it with success?

Have you both actually had your fertility checked?

It might put you in a better frame of mind, less stress is always good, but there could be more pure and simple clinical reasons.

It worked for me! It's definitely not going to do any harm so I'd completely recommend giving it a go. The month I started having the acupuncture I noticed I had loads more EWCM around ovulation than I usually do - so instantly took that as a good sign. Sure enough, two weeks later, a BFP. Also worked for my friend after two years of trying. For me, it was after 10 months and two MCs.
Good luck!

To clarify: I meant after 10 months of TTC (I'd only been having acupuncture for a month when I conceived). Same with my friend - not two years of acupuncture but two years of TTC and about 5 weeks of acupuncture!

Worked for me too! I have PCOS and hadn't ovulated for about 6 months when I went for treatment. My acupuncturist said that it generally takes around 3 months for the treatment to improve the quality of your eggs and lo and behold it was around this time that I had a proper AF. I was pg the next month .

It worked for me! Currently 13 wks pg. I'd only been trying 6 months after a MMC but age isn't on my side either (just turned 39). I was getting quite stressed by it all and figured that of nothing else the acupuncture would relieve my stress! I saw a fertility acupuncturist and got pg first month. I definate felt more relaxed about ttc that month too. Surely it's worth a try, good luck!

I've just started acupuncture with one that specialises in fertility so really interesting to read this thread :) One thing I have learnt is acupuncture is strongly recommended when having IVF as increases the success rates so got to be worth a try.

I had acupuncture for chronic uti which they were going to put me on long term antibiotics for- I now only get one once a year! Went to her to regulate cycles after pill - has me at 28 days after 2 months.. I cldnt recommend enough.. But sure u go to one that is recommended! Mine was harley street
