Acupuncture

Repost from TTC:

Has anyone done this?

I'm starting tomorrow....I'm actually very excited. I feel like its more natural than medicine and its making me feel like I'm taking control.

A little background...I've posted all this before, but don't post often.

I got pregnant my first month off the Pill, then m/c at approx. 7.5 weeks last February. I had an extensive D&C and had to stay in the hospital b/c they thought it was ectopic. It wasn't. Since then I've had crazy, crazy cycles. I go over 50 days a lot without AF. So, I took Prometrium (progesterone) to bring it on in June. Then again in August and got AF 58 days after the last one. Now they want to put me on Clomid.

I decided to take a step back. The OB/GYN hasn't asked one thing about my life, stress or feelings. She doesn't even call me back within a day or two. The acupuncture place spent 20 min on the phone asking about my life and work. Tomorrow I'm having a 2 hour appt. Part of it is with a nutritionist, part with an acupuncturist. They look to learn all about you so they can diagnose the issue before figuring out how to address it. I'm looking forward to it!!

Re: Acupuncture

I just started going in July and love it. I had a m/c in late June so want my body to get back to normal. So far I love it - can't say if it has helped me get pg, as this is my first cycle trying, but it has definitely made my body feel better! Good luck to you.

Where do you go? Anyone in Suffolk?
My new insurance kicked in and it covers acupuncture.

Good Luck at your appointment!

Re: Acupuncture

I totally saw a difference in my overall life going to acupuncture. I was really stressed out and it was effecting me in so many ways. The acupuncture helped me and I felt like a new person after a few sessions. Good Luck.
Maybe its all you need for your BFP!

Re: Acupuncture

Thank you everyone. I actually live out of state, so I'm not going on LI. I'm from LI and got married there and used LIWeddings and then this site...and never left!

I have my appt today. I was there for over 2 hours. They spent time getting to know me, my medical history, my family medical history, my job, etc. Then I had an acupuncture session. They put together a package that includes session with a nutritionist, acupuncture sessions, Mayan massages (where they help align your uteris within your pelvis), and some herbs. I am now going to see if my insurance covers all of this! I have no opinion one way or the other if this is really going to work. However, I feel extremely optimistic and a bit in control, which is nice for once!

Re: Acupuncture

I've been going to acupuncture since March. Three months later (and 5 IUI's later) I got pg.

I really, really think it helped out and continue to go for my sciatic/back pain issues. It works!!

Re: Acupuncture

How much does it generally cost? I'm pretty sure my insurance wouldn't cover it

Re: Acupuncture

I think each accup. session is about $50 but I'm not sure b/c they put together a package for me that includes many things.

Re: Acupuncture

I went to Andrea Huggler (she's a vendor now on here) and I love her.

I truly believe she had a part in my avatar.....

Re: Acupuncture

i went to acupuncture during ivf. although i can't be sure that acupuncture gave me my bfp, i can be sure that it helped me to relax and take care of my body in ways that were really out-of-whack! i love acupuncture and wish i could continue going now, but i don't have the extra money.

good luck to you and enjoy the new experiences!
