Hey Oxy, mine in Wellington cost $65 for the first session where she learns aobut your health and stuff and then $55 per session after that. I have recently found out with our particular health insurance i can claim up to $300 a year of accunuture so if you have that!!!

For me, i was trying to regulate my cycles as they were really long. She would start at the start of my cycle and put neddles at particular points to stimulate growing a healthy egg. usually about 3 needles across my pelvis sort of thing. And others to help with relaxation.
She would do a simalr thing when i "should" have been ovulating so say day 12 or something to help with ovulation.

I got pregnant first cycle of this (and was taking vitex for the first part of my cycle) and now she is helping me with a holding technique to make baby stay! and also to relax and clam down.

Gees, hope thats enough info for you lol. I would recomend it jsut for the relaxing state it gives you and you feel not as concerned about TTC even tho you are getting accupunture to do jsut that IYKWIM

That's how I started out with accupuncture Oxy, I'd hurt my back and was claiming under ACC so was only paying $20 a session.
My lady is really lovely and we got talking and next thing I know she's sticking pins in my feet and across my pelvis to help with my endo LOL

I'm still receiving fertility treatment now, had my first TTC treatment on cycle day 7 and cycle day 15, will see what happens next week if it worked - I've got everything crossed that I'll be as lucky as everyone else getting their BFP after 1 treatment

Hi Chelle

How many sessions of acupuncture did you DH get done on his knee before it got better thinking about getting my fixed next week

Nope, it says not to go too hungry or full tho.

Holy cow Treen - are they using gold coated pins?

My acupuncturist charges roughly the same as Hannahbil's - here is his website: www.vitalis.co.nz

We started nearly at the very beginning of my cycle, and fit in 3 treatments prior to ovulation - which in itself was a surprise as I had no idea if I was ovulating regularly or not!

And as it turns out it took just the one cycle for us to get pg, and then visits once a week for the first trimester to prevent another miscarriage - all seems to still be going well at this stage.

I also got my acupuncturist to needle me for back and pelvic pain, which was wonderful - I must get off my bum and book another appointment soon. So yes, it can be used to treat many differnet ailments / aches / pains.
