Yes, I do accupuncture & take traditional chinese herbs, and I too see an OB. Accupuncture has been the best thing for me. I was suffering from polycystic ovaries syndrome and ended up having a laparoscopy to fix the problem, which it sort of did. My DH took my to his TCM (traditional chinese medicine) doctor and he has been treating me ever since. I trust my TCM whole heartedly because he is very honest & open with me. TCM is an eastern style of medicine that uses natural herbs & accupuncture.
From my experience (since 2000) it has been incredibly beneficial. DH & I hardly ever see our GP (who is supportive of naturals medicines) because our regular treatments with the TCM keeps us on the straight & narrow.
What your TCM would have given you herbs which help you to conceive. Once you fall pregnant you should let them know, but what they give you shouldn't affect the baby.
Just a word of warning, most western GPs & people who dont quite understand the workings of TCM will say that its a bad thing. However the chinese have been using it for centuries & in Europe they are now combining eastern & western medicine because they see the benefits. Unfortunately for us in Aus it takes a while for this to get through.
Stick with the accupuncture & herbs. See your accupuncturist / TCM and explain what has happened. Sometimes just because you do accupuncture & take the herbs it doesn't always mean every pregnancy will be a successfuly one, your body will determine that.
Please let me know if you have any more questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.
I think accupuncture is amazing and I had it to help my breech baby turn (which she did). I would just make sure you have a very reputable accupuncturist and you should be fine. I would trust mine with my life and know he'd never give me anything that would harm a baby. Im sure yours wouldn't either, but maybe checking with Doc would be an idea. I know alot of people conceive whilst under accupuncture care. GOOD LUCK xoxoox
