Thanks to all those who recommended acupuncture!

Just wanted to say thank you to all those people who recommended trying acupuncture while TTC. It seems to have worked! It's very early days yet but I have had a BFP and not started bleeding so I am very hopeful that this will be dc3. So thanks for all the advice I read on here!

Congratulations! Good to hear these things as I am ttc #3 too and have recently started accupuncture.

Could I ask how long you were trying and how long you did accupuncture for?

Thanks haribofan. I was trying for about 6 months (barring the month I was in the UK and dh was in Taiwan!) and did acupuncture over 2 cycles. Best of luck!

Congratulations I had acupuncture while going through IVF and am sure it had a little something to do with my success too.

Hi all - what luck, a thread on acupunture! Had just been wanting to ask for some advice - know I could go to a more local thread but did any of you use someone good in central London? Am flexible within london but looking for a recommendation/suggestion (a bit TMI on internet sometimes!).
Really want to see someone to see if it can help me relax and maybe pinpoint why TTC#3 is taking so far 9 months with no luck.
Fab news for all of you who had good luck
I'm up for something relaxing to be honest...

Congratulations tadjennyp!

whizzymummy - I go to this place. I was initially put off by the fact it's in Harley St as I thought it would be really expensive, but it's £45 a session. I know that's a lot, but it's not bad for central London.

Good luck!

I don't know, I think 45quid a session is not bad, certainly less than I pay in America! I am one of the least relaxed people I know, so I am convinced that acupuncture really helped! Go for it whizzymummy!

Ah, fantastic news OP, congratulations..

I had acupuncture whilst going through ivf trying to conceive dd1. I am a TOTAL fan.

whizzymummy I saw Andrew Flower at White Crane Healing Centre which is in Primrose Hill - he also works in Brighton. I completely loved him and feel that he really helped me both physically, and emotionally.

Good luck xx

thank you!

tadjennyp, what I meant was that I had assumed that Harley St would be super-expensive but £45 is a good price for the service (I know of other people who pay £70 a session). However, for most people (including me) it's a lot of money to find each week/fortnight.

Thanks for recommendations coconutfeet and ClaudiaSchiffer - makes the searching for someone good much easier
Am going to give it a go!

I agree coconutfeet, I'm going to get a large bill in the post soon, but it's been worth it!

Just wanting to add a warning here as I searched for reviews of Andrew Flower before booking an appointment. He is rude and overpriced, and makes the whole process more stressful. When I went to see him, he had two patients in two rooms at the same time (for £75 a session!) and insisted on putting a needle THROUGH my clothes (not allowing for time to get undressed and relax) which left a scar in my stomach. Not worth the time or money.
