I credit acupuncture as a big part of my BFP. I went to a guy on Sunset Rd called Vitalis - totally recommend him. I did IVF (which also was a big help after 2 and a half years of trying) but think that it worked first time because of my weekly acupuncture appointments.]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:24:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=961679&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#961679 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=960669&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#960669 Author: Hope

Yup. Lost a baby at 5 weeks, had acupuncture during the 2 month wait till we could TTC. Got preggy straight away and have a big bouncy 11 month old to show for it! It's really not very sore and I found it very relaxing, plus slept really well when I had had it done that day.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:54:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=960669&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#960669 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=960560&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#960560 Author: tiptoes

I did it for about 4 or so months before I got pregnant and think there were quite big changes in my charts from it. I also had a short luteal phase and it seemed to help increase it. I was also taking herbs, so possibly a combo.

Hi, I have done acupuncture for fertility on two occasions. First time, I took the herbal tea, then swapped it to the herbal pills, plus acupuncture about every 2 weeks. Got a BFP after 3 months of treatment, but ended in early m/c.

Second time I took herbal pills and acupuncture for about 2 months, again fortnightly, and got a BFP, and she's now 20 months old.

In both occasions, I got the BFP's when I had stopped treatment for different reasons, but it seems the acupuncture and herbs got my body into a good place for conception. I have very short luteal phase normally, about 6-7 days, but wasn't charting at the time of either BFP, so can't confirm that it had increased this, but my cycles stayed the same length.

Definitely worth a try, possibly try for a few months, then have a break, then try again?]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:34:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=956902&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#956902 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954465&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954465 Author: spanky77

I'm having it at the moment, had once a week for a month but I think it might be fortnightly from now on.
I think my kidney pulse was wonky, but not sure if kidney yin or kidney yang, I think it changed over the cycle.

Had a mc last year also, and am having a lot of luteal spotting - worked out I'm bleeding, in some form, for 2/3 of my cycle. Thats not changed in the last month however.
Am having the herbs too - infertility support (either 1 or 2) but not been very good at taking them, least of all an hour before eating. I took my BBT's in for the last few months too, she seemed interested in these

Acu is $60 for 45 mins, and herbs are $28 for about 3 weeks supply.

I had acu years ago for hayfever, and it did amazing things, so have been very hopeful for this for fertility]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:54:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954465&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954465 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954446&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954446 Author: Emmi_

Hi Kazza7,

My work colleague recently had a miscarriage and has started getting acupunture and she says it's great. He has heaps of advice to give her about the miscarriage and also things that are happening with her body.

I had a D&C 2 weeks ago after baby died at 11.5 weeks and am thinking of trying also.]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:23:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954438&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954438 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954369&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954369 Author: peachy

Yes I am currently trying accupuncture! Have been having it for 8 weeks now every fortnight! It has made huge positive changes to my cycle and I feel so alive and rejuvenated when I have my sessions!

I go to Janine Cuff at MortherWell that specialise in Fertility, Women and Children.

Hi ladies!
I have just been reading about pre-conception acupunture, and wondered if anyone had actually tried it? and if so what you thought??
I have had 2 miscarriages recently, so am willing to give anything a try!! ]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:42:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31991&PID=954359&title=anyone-tried-acupuncture#954359
