Has anyone tried Acupuncture to help them conceive?

Question

My husband and I have been TTC for over a year now, we both travel for work so it's hard to make timing work. We both have seen a Fertility Doctor and we are both healthy and fine, but still no baby. I recently started getting acupuncture once a week and so far I am loving it and the acupuncturist specializes in infertility so he really knows what he is doing. Has anyone had any succes or tried acupuncture to help them conceive?

Answer

I'm in the exact same boat. I'm 35 and we've been trying for a couple years. No issues for either of us based on our fertility tests. I'm anti-drugs and prefer to leave clomid as a last resort (or never) since it has some possible negative side affects (can thin uterine lining and reduce cervical mucus). I started going to acupuncture in October, but still no luck for us yet. I've had some positive changes since starting acupuncture, but I'm told that acupuncture typically takes between 3 to 6 months/cycles to get the full benefits of acupuncture. I'm in the middle of my 4th cycle and I'm ovulating today... positive opk test and experienced ovulation bleeding for the first time ever this cycle. I'm hoping this cycle will be a winner with all the positive signs. Also, my husband's coworker was told she couldn't get pregnant without doing ivf... she decided to try acupunture and got pregnant within the first 3 months of acupuncture treatments. Best of luck!

I just finished my 3rd month of acupuncture and am in the TWW. I had two missed miscarriages last year and two chemical pregnancies. Praying for my rainbow.

I've been seeing an acupuncturist weekly since November. She's also having me take Chinese herbs and make some changes to my diet. My bbt has normalized since seeing her and I'm hoping to get my bfp soon! In my tww now... 34 ttc 1st after 2 MC this year.

Hi

My naturopath does accupuncture on me before and after ovulation. First month I tried. I'll let you know the result.

Answer

I've been going to acupuncture for a few months. My gyn referred me to acupuncture to assist in my PCOS and TTC before trying clomid.  
I personally love it.  I'm on prenatals and Chinese herbal tea blend that is specific to me.  It changes depending on my cycle and weekly appt with my Doc.  It was able to help me ovulate on my 2nd cycle.
Now I'm in my TWW.

I have not tried, but I want to. I'm testing in a few days and if it's bfn I plan on going to thick it a try. I think even if it's positive I might go anyway. I can get pregnant I have a hard time staying pregnant so maybe it will help?
