Acupuncture may have messed up my cycle?

Question

I have tried acupuncture this month and am worried that it has messed up my cycle. I am usually pretty predictable and have a long cycle with a luteal phase of 13 days, and EWCM on one fertile day around day 18. This cycle with acupuncture, I had no EWCM and a luteal phase of 10 days. Has anyone had a similar situation or any thoughts/advice?

Answer

I have studied acupuncture and will soon be registered to practice... Acupuncture (traditional Chinese) will try to balance out what is imbalanced within, but it is a sliw process... Most individuals who use it for fertility will notice the differences within three months... I'm sorry it's not faster, keep trying! I'm in the same boat! Been trying for 8 months and nothing yet... I'm starting to needle myself this month, once I'm done this fliw

Answer

I started acupuncture on 6dpo and AF came as planned but now my period is shorter - I feel better and so I have hope that my 32/33 day cycle will become shorter. I usually o on cd22 or 23 which is late and gives me a short LP. After my first (and only so far) acupuncture I had slight cramping for 2 days and 2 days of spotting before AF. I feel like my body is regulating itself overall and I'm hopeful. But yes, my cycle has changed. Session 2 is this Saturday! Can't wait!

Answer

Hmm, this is odd. Typically, people seek those treatments to get regular, and it works. Are you extra stressed? Stress and many things can cause delayed AF. I really doubt it was he treatment. I do it 3x a week and had no issues. I've also done it for many many years for pain management and had no issues with my cycle.

Answer

Thank you for your response. Yes, she said that for some women it causes changes to their cycle and should improve next cycle. I really find it relaxing, I was just hoping for some of the other benefits too. Fingers crossed for next month.

Answer

Oh no, how frustrating for you! Have you asked your acupuncturist their thoughts? Acupuncture helped me straight away, ovulated a day earlier with loads of ewcm, luteal phase stayed the same at 11 days but no spotting before AF. Hope it was just a one off for you! X
