I'm 30, I did acupuncture and I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with twins! Personally, I think the acupuncture worked because I didn't get pregnant when we first started trying! Good luck!!!!🙏🏼

After TTC for 9 months, I tried Chinese acupuncture including Chinese herbs I drank twice per day. I was pregnant after three weeks! The doctor was not surprised at all. I recommend everybody to try it!!

I got my herbs from my acupuncturist but I also supplemented with adding maca powder to my smoothies every morning, recommended by my doc as well.

I started acupuncture after experiencing 2 consecutive miscarriages. I was willing to try ANYTHING to avoid a 3rd. I'm currently 23 weeks and I know acupuncture had a definite positive effect. I was told to endure 3 months of treatment which included needles, moxa and herbs, all of which I was extremely diligent with. I immediately noticed that my period changed both in duration and (tmi) flow. I felt like I was experiencing a much healthier period. I even noticed when I was ovulating without having to pee on a stick! Make the most out of your sessions, use the the alone time to relax and let go of all the stress fertility causes (I know, easier said than done!) But I used my time to detach from my phone and meditate and that helped me move forward as well. Good luck!!!

Hi. I'm 33 and I've done it twice so far. I'm actually going every other week. I like it and this is my first fertile week since starting so I am thinking positive.

I started acupuncture a few weeks ago after I started my period. My acupuncturist said I didn't have a fertility problem but a weak liver, so my treatment is for that. I'm not a big drinker and she could tell! She said it was bad from stress and that the liver is the most important organ for the reproductive system. I'm now in my TWW, so no idea how it has helped so far but I have heard from other friends and about their success stories. I'm will to try anything now because we are now at a year TTC as well and in our early 30s!
