Acupuncture for IVF

My husband and I had our first acupuncture on Wednesday which was so relaxing! I’m so used to needles now that it didn’t phase me! The lady who does is it Chinese and trained in China 20 years ago and is so knowledgeable! She could even tell my my pulse that I wasn’t ovulating my yet and I was coming down with a cold (both very true). She has helped a lot of men with male infertility and has gone on to increase their numbers and quality resulting in successful IVF or conceiving naturally which amazes me! I showed her my husbands blood results and she said my husbands hormone levels are not in sync with each other so now she needs to ‘un block’ them. With me she said the first couple of session will get rid of the excess IVF drugs in my system and then go on to prepare me for my next IVF cycle. So we shall see... fingers crossed for some good results! Although not great on the bank account!!

Mine is in Fleet so a bit of a way from you, but I found mine by going on Zita West website and finding accredited acupuncturists near where I live. You should have a look on the website and see who is around you. Good luck!x

I myself don’t have infertility issues, we have already done a round of IVF and are continuing to do so again in the new year. I appreciate your message but I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s a hoax. If this is what I want to do, and others then I feel you should respect that.

Re bank account, look into healthcare cashback plans. Some workplaces offer them or you can buy them online. You pay a monthly amount then claim back for treatments like acupuncture. My husband and I have claimed back far more than we have spent this year.

Acupuncture does help a lot. I hope it works for you. Good luck to you. Just stay positive and strong. I hope you are eating a healthy diet as that matters a lot as well. I myself am about to start a process. I am nervous but hoping for the best. Sending baby dust your way.

Thank you 😊 diet has slightly gone off the tracks as I sort of gave up a little bit after I had my miscarriage last month but I’m slowly getting back on it!

Good luck to you xx

I keep my fingers crossed, as acupuncture worked for a few friends of mine who had 1st time success in Gdansk Poland

Hey there! I m glad to see that you are still fighting. Infertility is really a heart-wrenching thing. But it's important that we stay strong through all this. You are an inspiration for me and all other women suffering out there. Best of luck for your next cycle. I hope things work out for you!
