Hi Mummy2chloe

I've had weekly acupuncture (AP) for over a year now. I have a lot of stress, so it helps me immensely with that. In fact, I had a bit of a breakdown prior to starting the AP, so starting AP was part of my choice to start looking after myself. I know that if I wasn't having AP I'd be a mess right now!

Anyway I've also been having treatment for my non-existant AF. Although AP hasn't specifically bought back my AF, I really believe it's benefited me. I'm starting ovulation induction soon and will continue my weekly sessions - if it helps both my mind and my body, I can't see it as a bad thing.

I've never felt soreness from my sessions. AP is a very complex treatment, and the same point can be used for a multitude of outcomes, even the actual type of needle, way it's inserted/removed/twisted and the combination of points it is used in, has a massive difference.

Did you specifically ask for a relaxing/destressing outcome? Or were you also discussing fertility outcomes? I would urge you not to give up after just one treatment. Maybe you could discuss how you're feeling with your AP therapist, or even try another one?

All the best!
