I am looking into a place in O-Side CA that does
Acupuncture, Massage, Aroma Therapy, and Chinese Herbal Medicine.
I am looking into Acupuncture to help with my fertility. I am also going to try what’s called
“Fertility Massage”
It’s pretty simple, and it’s supposed to help unblock the Fallopian tubes, tone the uterus, and detox everything.

So I was wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant using these methods.
I won’t be able to do anything until October because I am going to be in Maui for a month, and I do not want to have a miscarriage on a plane.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant, and having some issues. I was thinking about getting acupuncture to help me. I was wondering, has anyone tried acupuncture during pregnancy? If so, did it work?

I am 25 and me and my husband have been trying for at least 4 years nothing ..went through a bunch of testing every month ,still nothing. our doc says there should be no reason why i can’t get pregnant..except for the hormonal imbalance which can be easily fix with meds or herbal supplements..well i decided after a year of treatment to take a break because all the meds he was pumping into me where doing nothing but making me gain weight and making me depressed all the time to the point where my sex drive went plummeting and i could not be around pregnant people without crying after wards or sitting in my house for weeks with out talking..so after doing a bunch of research i decided to try changing our life style eating healthy, exercise(not to much though),and taking herbal supplements which has been working i have been regular for 3 months, and i want to know if anyone has tried acupuncture for infertility? i heard and did research that it has the same chance or better chances then IVF..i want to further my natural ways..or if yo have any other info i might not know about would be great to
thank you

Hi! My name is Betty I am 23 years old and I REALLY want a baby! I appreciate everyone answering my questions, even though some of you aren’t very nice, still I don’t let your negativity get me down! You have to stay positive for baby dust to work!

On a recent question, someone suggested I try acupuncture to increase my chances of conception! That sounded like a great idea, but I am poor and can’t afford a professional. Instead, I found some sewing needles and starting inserting them….well…”into myself”..IT HURT! But I’ll do anything for Baby #1!

6 months and counting waiting for a blessing…alternatives?

I have had two treatments of acupuncture in my quest for a baby. I have low progestrone and random cycles so this was suggested. The homeopath took a sample of my hair to test and came back to me saying my left ovary functions to 90% capacity and right ovary to only 10% capacity. This has made me sad and not good about my chances. I wish i could leave well alone and leave it up to gods way instead of trying to find answers and solutions because often i end up feeling disappointed and like its never going to happen. Anyone had any experience with homeopathy/acupuncture and can suggest how much i should take on board from them/??? Many thanks x x
And also they said my tummy needs warming up and get more blood flow to it…

If so, was it successful? How often did you have the treatments? How long did it take to work? And most of all…did it hurt?

I have had severe morning (all day) sickness every day for the last 6 weeks. I have trouble eating anything at all and get really bad ‘dry heaves’ in the morning. I have tried the ginger candies, saltines, eating before getting out of bed, acupressure bands and nothing has worked. Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy? Did it work for you? I am 10 weeks along.

I was on Depo-provera for 6 years. Doctors never told me about fertility problems or the bone density issues associated with it. Now I’ve been off for 3 years and have been trying to conceive ever since. I’m 27 years old now and don’t want to be still trying when I’m 40. I only want one child so I really don’t want to fertility drugs and end up with triplets or something. I’ve heard acupuncture I a viable alternative to drugs. If anyone has tried it I would love to hear your results. And if anyone knows of any other alternatives please share.
I do realize, as with most studies of alternative medicine, that hard evidence proving or disproving the effectiveness is nonexistent. Fact of the matter is no one is willing to take alternative medicine seriously. This unfortunately includes such things as white willow bark, an herb that is entirely responsible for chemically manufactured aspirin just as opium poppies are responsible for morphine and so forth and so on. In fact whether the modern medical profession would like to admit it or not almost all of modern medicine originally stems from some type of alternative or “snake oil medicine”. Now of course this does not mean that all of it is valid by any means. “Leeching” a patient to remove bad blood or evil spirits is of course absurd. However acupuncture is one that does not have enough evidence through valid controlled studies to prove or disprove it’s assistance in fertility. Which is why I asked for PERSONAL EXPERIANCE and not opinions.
And if you’re wondering why I’m so instant on a natural alternative: After years of being medicated without ever being told of the consequences I have been left with kidney and liver damage, osteopenia, and fine hand tremors. Not to mention the fertility problems I’m now experiencing. Yes, pharmaceuticals are very necessary and I do still take those that are, however you can see why I’m extremely reluctant to take any more pharmaceuticals than absolutely necessary. And fertility medicines are not a necessity.
