I have 2 DSs (4 and 2) both of whom were conceived with the help of acupuncture - I am certain that it made a significant difference to our ability to conceive.
Last year, I conceived all by myself and had a miscarriage at 7+5 - was absolutely devastated. Started having acupuncture again in December to try for DC3, and was pregnant by January. Had a really good feeling about the pregnancy, and was horrified to start spotting at about 6+3. Had scan at EPAC and saw good strong heartbeat, so felt v relieved. Spotting also stopped...but started again on Thursday night (7+4), with browny-red bleeding on Friday morning.
Rang acupuncturist in a panic, and he said to come straight in for a treatment. He explained what all the needles he was using were to do - increase blood flow to the uterine lining, stop the bleeding etc. And the bleeding stopped the same day.
Can that really be it? I still feel pregnant, but possibly not quite as pregnant as I did (although am addled and anxious, so may be making too much of that). just wondered if anyone else had successfully had acupuncture to stop a threatened miscarriage? Want to go back to EPAC on Monday for another scan, but not sure if they will scan me again?
For what it's worth, I think my acupuncturist is a very good practitioner, and in no way a charlatan - but I am not sure my faith in acupuncture extends as far as its being able to stop a miscarriage...
