I’m having acupuncture today and I’m nervous. My ovulation sticks were a fixed smiley face last night so I’ll be ovulating soon.

Is it ok to have acupuncture at this stage of cycle?

hi..acupuncture is safe at every stage but ypure acupuncture will use different acupuncture points at different stages, dint worry your acupuncturist should have a detailed consult with you before starting xo

I would recommend however looking for someone who is a fertility specialist if that’s what your having it for but it’s great for stress relief too.x

Yes this is definitely what I’m having it for. Yes I need stress relief so I’m keen to try, and quite excited!!

I loved it, felt so calming and relaxed during and after it. I had it weekly during treatment and it kept me calm during my second round. Good luck and all the best! X

3 of my girlfriends have had miscarriages over the last year and TTC naturally, they all went to the same acupuncture specialist who specifically specialises in fertility, they’re all expecting babies now within 10 weeks of each other! All 3 ladies were 6 months + TTC after their miscarriages. I think there is something to be said for it, it must work or they all just got lucky 🤔 good luck!

I have just had my first treatment and it was great! I felt so relaxed afterwards and I’m going back again in 2 weeks. She talked about my diet a bit and general tips in looking after myself. I feel so relaxed and more positive 😁😁 x

I have been having this for a couple months and every 2 weeks for fertility reasons and it relaxes me plus would suggest find a fertility one. x
