    Thumbs up Acupuncture

    Hey girls,

    Just wanted to share this experience with you.

    After return of AF, my cycles where only 3 weeks apart with a lp of maybe only 9 days.
    This cycle I have been to an acupuncturist and my cycle is now 31 days with a lp of 13 days!

    So if you have any doubts, I highly recommend acupuncture!!

    (now I just keep (almost) everything crossed in the hope I will be utd again in 3 months like list time i went to an acupuncturist!!)

    I had accupuncture for the first time on friday and it was great. It didnt hurt at all, had some strange aches while the needles were in but they didnt hurt. I had accupuncture because I am gearing up to TTC number 2 and I have had miscarriages in the past and really dont want to go through that again. I actually went for the chinese medicine not accupuncture but after they assessed me they decided to give me some, just to get my cycle back to normal because I am still breasfeeding.
    That night I had ovulation pain on the right side and the next day on the left side so something was definantly happening.
    They said they can also help me with morning sickness if I happen to suffer from it.
    I highly recommend it to anyone.

    I had accupunture the week before we conceived our angel bub and after 6 months TTC got our BFP. Since the m/c have been going again, i feel it really helps. We have not been TTC the last 2 months but i have had two 28 day cycles, so can't ask for any better than that!!

    Hi
    I have been thinking about having accupuncture too as my cycles have been really irregular.
    Just wondering how often you are having the accupuncture?
    Also prob a weird question but how many needles do they put in and where abouts do they go on your body?
    Thanks

    Acupuncture

    I love acupuncture! I used it along with remedial massage and physio to manage PSD during pregnancy, as well as using it to prepare my body for labour. I had induction accupuncture on my due date and my waters broke a few minutes later, before the accupuncturist had even left my house! I've also used it in the past to treat car crash injuries, to aleviate leg problems from having a broken foot, and to attack recurring sinusitis. It has worked like a treat every single time.

    I'm planning to get back in touch with my accupuncturist now as I've heard of accupuncture to increase milk supply, which i'm currently having huge issues with, and I'd really like to give it a try.

    Kts64s - not sure where in Sydney you're hoping for, but I can highly recommend my accupuncturist who operates out of Annandale as well as the Eastern suburbs, she also does remedial massage, accupressure, and is a doula too! PM me if you want her details.

    ETA - just realised this is quite an old thread that's just been reserrected. I'm still able to pass on those details if anyone wants them though.

    Balmaingal,

    I would love to have your AC details! I am thinking about having some acupuncture to regulate my cycle. 8 months ago I came off BC and ovulation is all over the place and I have a quite short luteal phase. I am hoping to correct it that way.

    I just moved to Sydney from overseas and so I am a bit lost. I had a very good experience with acupuncture as a kid (for hayfever though!). Any recommendations would be much appreciated - I live in the eastern suburbs.

    Any other success stories for acupuncture and cycle regulation/pg?

    Tinaki, I will PM you her contact details. I see her in Annandale, but she also works somewhere over in the Eastern suburbs on some days. She also does fantastic remedial massage, and is a doula so very focussed in this field.

    Good luck with it!

    I don't think you can receive PM's, it wouldn't go through.

    If you google Art of Health in Annandale you will
    Find contact details, and her name is Svenja.

    Well I have been having acupuncture twice a month fro three cycles now. I love it, it doesn't hurt at all. I was just wondering for anyone who has used it how long they took to get a +ve pg test. I'm getting a little impatient...
