Hey! I’ve never tried it myself although it was definitely something I was considering before I conceived. A friend of mines aunt did conceive using acupuncture and she’d been trying a few years previously x

Hi,

I had Acupuncture to help with fertility. I have PCOS, mild endometriosis, don't ovulate and have a thyroid problem. I had been trying to conceive for 3 years, started acupuncture and conceived within 3 months. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage, but continued with acupuncture and conceived again another 2 months after my miscarriage. I had Acupuncture throughout my pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy daughter.

I returned to have acupuncture again after trying for 2 years to conceive another child. This time it unfortunately took over a year of acupuncture with 2 different specialists, but I am now 21weeks pregnant again. Its definitely worth a try. I'm adamant that's what helped me conceive.

I’ve not tried it personally but I am a year into trying to conceive, my friend suggested it to me after it took her so long to get pregnant with her second. She had acupuncture then conceived within a couple of months. It expensive but I think it’s certainly worth it.
