Just wondering if anyone found Accupuncture helped them get pregnant or feel it was a contributory factor?

I’m under an amazing fertility acupuncturist Who is dealing with my endo pain during my cycle. Doing a fab job of that but will it help me get pregnant...... she seems certain it will 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

It didn't help me. I used it on 2 rounds where I didn't get pregnant. On both rounds where I've had a BFP I didn't use it.

If it helps you to relax then do it as I don't think it will do any harm.

I’m doing it currently to see if it can help. I really like my acupuncturist but I’m not sure what I am meant to be feeling during or after the session.

Sometimes I feel a fizzy sensation and occasionally warmth but often nothing.does that mean it’s in the wrong place? As she often adjusts them

I'm scared of needles so have been using it pre IVF so that my brain doesn't associate needles with pain and fear. It's working to make me more relaxed so that's the only thing I can stay so far. Start my first round in September. Best of luck x

Yes I've been getting treatment acupuncture, Chinese medicine and after bfp she switched to Chinese massage. I feel very evangelical about it. I felt so different when I took the medicine. You can take the medicine in preparation to help your hormones but best not to take the Chinese medicine for hormones while doing ifv in case it interferes with the ivf meds.

I did Acupuncture and I was lucky enough to get pregnant on our first round - though I couldn't say for sure if it's the acupuncture that made a difference as I have no point of comparison. However, I firmly believe that anything we can do to stay proactive and positive will help xxx

Thank you ladies for your encouraging words. My acupuncturist seems to magically make my pain disappear so hopefully she can magically put a baby in my belly 👶🏻

Tonight together we have decided to give it 6 months before intervening with Clomid which is the fertility clinics suggestion x x
