Question

acupuncture and herbs

So I tried acupuncture today for the first time to help with this TTC process...1 year and 1 miscarriage later nothing seems to be working so I'm giving this a go! He also gave me some herbs called "Women's Eight Treasure Teapills".

Has anyone here done acupuncture and had success with pregnancy after starting it?

Does anyone take those pills? Did you notice a difference in anything once you started taking them? Do you think they helped you conceive?

OR do you personally know someone who has done acupuncture/those herbs that it did work for?

hope I hear from someone soon with some success stories! <3 Thanks!

I have been doing acupuncture for fertility since September last year. I became pregnant in November, unfortunately miscarried due to chromosomal issues. I have not taken the pills you mention. My acupuncturist mixes herbal blends for me for use during the first part of the cycle and a different mix for the luteal phase. The powder is to be dissolved in hot water and you drink it 3 times a day. I am still "with the program" hoping that acupuncture together with vitamins and supplements plus my RE's treatment plan with FSH injections will work someday soon. Best wishes and success to you!

Hi there I went for acupuncture years ago but dint use it to TTC but the Chinese doctor I seen at the time recommended it, I was going to use herbs to TTC but couldn't afford the treatment I wish I had stuck with it to be honest because I noticed a difference within 3 weeks to my uterus the pains were going I thought I had mild endometrosis and doctors wouldn't help me kept just given me pills so I seeked a Chinese doctor instead and told him I wanted another child these herbs were to boil and drink twice daily the stuff tasted fowl but after a while you get used to the taste only way I could describe it was like drinking dead beetles lmao but I only wish I could of carried on but it was the money issue of how much it would cost me in total so I given up and tried to switch to Agnus Castus capsules for 3 month but I dint get preggies so no look for me there I hope you have more success than I did GL hope they work well for you x

I'm going to an acupuncturist this Saturday, June 20th, 2015. I can't wait. I've been ttc for 8 months now and I'll try anything. I've heard it worked for others. I will follow you and good luck!
