I have a 6 month old DD and although have had 3 cycles since having her I don't think I've ovulated.
I've been using OPK with no positive, I haven't had EWCM and have been TTC since my cycles have returned.
I stopped breast feeding 4 months ago, so that shouldn't be affecting things.
I feel straight away with my DD and it was VERY obvious when I was ovulating so am pretty sure I'm not at the mo.
I'm going to see an acupuncturist next week and wondered if any had any positives or negative experiences?

Hi. I have been TTC for two years. One MC after 6 months of ttc then 8 months later I decided to go for acupuncture. I was ov at the time though and had regular 28d cycles. I had my second session at time of ov and got pregnant that cycle. Unfortunately I mc'd again and now, 9 months later, I am injecting for IVF. My prognosis is not good though as I only had 3+2(tiny) follies so I am not expecting there to be any eggs to collect when the time comes. Anyway, my experience of acupuncture was positive and I am going to have some sessions during my IVF. Hope this helps!

I had it and got pregnant first month. She specialises in fertility acupuncture. I'd been trying for 6 months following a Missed miscarriage. I know it's not a long time but I'd always conceived very quickly. I wanted it to help me relax too. Had 3 sessions in one month and got my BFP. I don't know if it was down to that or it would've happened anyway. I like to think it was acupuncture. Definately worth a try for you!

Hi, Im starting on Wednesday and i have heard really positive things about it so am really excited! I am taking Femara too. I am hoping the combo works. Keep in touch about your experience!

I will Eddiethehorse. I start wed too so here hoping it works for us both. I'm not taking anything other than multi vits so fingers crossed. Haven't been to gp as I know they won't do anything as periods only returned at the end of March so they'll say it's too early.
Still- thought id try everything I can. Let me know how you get on!

Hi Eddie-
It went well thanks although not what I was expecting!
Def feel better after and slightly more relaxed so got next session tues. I'm the worlds biggest cynic but am willing to give anything a go. Must say I'm feeling much more positive about it all. Hoping it helps us both.glad you enjoyed it! I'm on CD9 today- where are you in your cycle?
