Acupuncture and Conception

[scotty2]

Hi Just interested in anyones thoughts re acupuncture. I have had 3 ivf cycles - first one when i was 38 and succesful with a beautiful son, whose now 3..just been back to the clinic and considering another cylce. Good egg production and im 42 next week - FSH 4.6 and amh 16.5- so these are positive...(taken about 3 weeks ago) Prev Cycles result in pregancy but last one no heatbeat at 8 weeks.... have booked an acupuncture appt at the Kite clinic. anyone have any feedback on this? success stores ? thanks

i have no personal experience of this though i did used to have acupuncture for soemthing else entirely and do remember the person doing it telling me of how it had helped a few of her clients, had forgot about that conversationactually might see if i can find her details again as having problems concieving here!

Ive decided to make an appointment with a local lady - who has zita west affiliation, its more conveninent as it is local to where i live..too stressfull running back and forth from work to get to the london appointment..

Hi i am having acunpuncture with a zita West trained specialist.I have beeb ttc for nearly 2 years i am 39 and had 3 bFPs all resulting in Mcs at varying stages.We have had all the initial tests all Nad so now attending the re-current miscarriage clinic for further investigations.

I enjoy my acunpuncture, don t know if its helped on its own merits however, can t think its done any harm.

BTW i live in Leeds so never been to Zita Wests clinic.Good luck

I'm convinced acupuncture helped me conceive my DSs, although should point out that not aware of having any real fertility problems and not had IVF - was just far too impatient to let it happen naturally, so maybe just lucky timing? But I remain convinced... I am in Bath and the person I saw to get DS2 started had worked with Zita West.

thanks everyone who came back with some feedback- have an appointment next week with one lady but also have a friend who has recommended a chap too
