Just had acupuncture & I just got positive opk? At last?

[sassba32]

Hi all,
I have written before about the fact that I never ever getting positive opk's. I had acupuncture a couple of days ago and I think I just had my strongest result ever!
What do you think, is this a real positive?
Oh, I am not allowed to put up a little pic? Not sure? Can someone let me know how to show the photo I just took of the opk?
I wonder if acupuncture might have had a boost effect on my LH surge??
thanks, sassba

PS, I was actually taking this month off and not opk-ing etc due to stress and a cat scan earlier in the cycle but had change of plans when gynie shceduled me for laparoscopy next month, so we decided to follow gynie's advice and give it another shot before going in for surgery.
I Hope I wont need it!

Sassba that's great news, I think what other people do is upload their pic to places like photobucket and then put in the link.

Hi Sassba.

It sounds quite promising!

What brand OPK do you use? I tend to use Crystal Clear as its digital and takes away all the guess work in whether 1 line is strong than the other. Bit dearer but I got frustrated using generic brands, this way I either get a smiley face or I dont.

Good luck!

Hi there all,

Well I had acupuncture yesterday and voula!! Proper positive opk again!

I really think it's powerful stuff that acupuncture!

I use lullaby tests, cheap and good!

Sassba, it worked for me, too!

I had acupuncture, then three days later my first EVER positive OPK! Actually, it's been my only positive OPK ever - I just don't get on with the nasty things! I've ovulated a couple of times since, but I've started too early and given them up in frustration... and the second time the clinic was monitoring me with blood tests so I decided not to bother with the extra stress.

Of course, I did go on to ovulate... and had a whopping great luteal phase defect to go with it, but it was progress!

My problems have turned out to be bigger than what acupuncture alone can deal with, but I've gained so many benefits from my appointments... I'm not going to give them up easily!

hi BW,

I find the acupuncture a very relaxing calming thing to do. It also gives me a moment where I can focus on it all, visualising a positive outcome IUKWIM, without feeling like I am obsessed!

I know what you mean about OPK's, they can cause a lot of extra stress but are kind of irrisistable sometimes. I have a really hard time getting a positive with them too. I planned not to use them the last two months but as i have a bunch here that bought from Lullaby, I've just used them right around the time that I might O instead of starting really early worrying I'd miss the surge. I'm a bit less fussed but it's still good to see it there!!

I have been looking in on your progress, goooood luck, I get the feeling it will work out this month, I love the little caterpillar idea, gorgeous!! Fingers crossed!!!
