I am 43 and trying to get pregnant. I am not sure which way to go- should I try infertility or Acupuncture? I have fibriods as well. My hubby’s sperm count is low. Please advise and I thank you in advance.

Hi,

I’m thinking of having acupuncture for my back and I wanted to know if any of you have used it for infertility. I’m doing medical treatments for that, but I’m curious about acupuncture. Did it work? What do they do, stick a needle in your ovaries?

We have been trying to get pregnant for years. We have tried everything. We have tried several different types of fertility meds and recently did In-Vitro fertilization. Nothing seems to work. We have done acupuncture as well. We conceived naturally twice years ago and miscarried, but we were not planning to have a family that young, so we thought we has time. I had my tarot cards read and the woman who read them asked me why I am worried about my fertility. I never told her anything about myself or my concerns.She then told me that their was a soul that was waiting to come into my family. She said that the soul was waiting for the right timing and with the magician card crossing a child card that it shows that nothing is impossible. She told me a spell to do that will help us. She said the soul was waiting on the next full moon. My husband thinks this is nuts and although I feel a little weird doing it, I am willing to try anything. I have prayed and prayed to god, I believe what this woman said because even as I left her office, I still had never told her my reasons for coming in there. I left with a spell that I never asked her for. Is doing this going to far? My husband thinks so. He is waiting for a response from people here with me. What do you think? Would you try it?

Hubby and I have been ttc for 31 months. We are seeing an RE and in March 2008 we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I present with no uterine, ovarian, tubal or hormonal issues and hubby has passed 2 semen analysis with flying colors. We are on a break right now (other than doing acupuncture) as we were told IVF would be our doctors next recommendation since we have had 3 failed Clomid cycles and 3 failed Gonal F cycles (good response to the Gonal F though). We pay out of pocket and he feels since these cycles have failed IVF would be the most logical and give us the best chance for our money so to speak.

My question is should I ask for any additional testing since we are unexplained infertility or is that just all that can be determined? What tests were you givin in general to detect issues with fertility?

I going to a certified acupuncturist soon (hopefully this week) and I am wondering what to expect or what are your thoughts. I am going specifically for fertility benefits.

A little background info- Hubby and I have been trying for a baby for 2.5 years now. We are seeing an RE (specialist) and are on a little break as our next step in InVitro Fertilization (IVF) in the spring. We were technically diagnosed with unexplained infertility in March 2008. No real issues with either of us other than the fact it is not happening. We have tried a lot of things up until this time. Everything from trying not to try to charting to ovulation prediction kits to Clomid to ovulation induction through daily injections of Gonal F, etc.

So we thought acupuncture is worth a shot during our downtime. Our RE really recommends it to all his patients and especially those faced with IVF.

After your all-important question of “What is infertility?” and its related queries have been answered, you will aggressively seek physical treatments. Said infertility treatment options will include fertility medications, surgical procedures and assisted reproductive technology.

However, the emotional aspect of the infertility issue must never be overlooked by the couple. After all, you may be trying to conceive a baby to strengthen your relationship, so, it will not do to have the stress and anxiety of infertility treatments undermine your love, trust and respect for each other.

Do you know that there are numerous causes of female infertility? But the most common reason, which occurs in 75% of the fairer sex, is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or PID. The incapacity to ovulate or Anovulation is one of the cases of PID. PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is another common ailment in this category. Some of the other forms of PID are Luteal Phase Defect, Gonadal Dysgenesis, Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, Endometriosis, Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, Cervical Stenosis, Uterine fibroids etc. Even Menopause, Premature Ovarian failure and aging are potent causes of female infertility.

A variety of bacteria infests the pelvic area of women like the reproductive organs or the appendix of the intestines causing infections. This pelvic region is prone to these kinds of infections. And Pelvic Inflammatory Disease occurs. When the fallopian tubes get affected due to the increase of such infections, the ovum or egg fails to proceed to them. This blocks the ovulation process. And the woman suffering from it becomes impotent. Known as Salpingitis, it is a sexually transmitted infection or STI and the causing agent is a bacterium known as Chlamydia trachomatis.
