I'm the world's biggest wuss when it comes to needles and if you asked me a year ago if I would consider acupuncture, my answer would be a screaming no.

Sadly my son was stillborn at 22 weeks in April this year and while no cause was found I decided the only thing I can control is how well I look after my body. I started seeing a naturopath who suggested acupuncture. I've been eight times, weekly. It's not pain but discomfort and definitely bearable. Just don't look at the needles!

I haven't started TTC again so I can't tell you what effect it has on my baby-making parts but mentally it's keeping me sane and my cycle looks like it's trying to regulate itself.

Good luck to you!
