I had acupuncture today !

And it was fantastic ! I always thought acupuncture, yeah, yeah whatever but since I went off the pill last June (8 months ago) I have broken out with acne so bad on my back, my chest and on my jawline. Anyway I did tonnes of research because even though we are not trying we aren't exactly being careful and I have not gotten pregnant in the last 8 months either ?? So I went to my local Chinese Medicine clinic and the lady sat me down and she started asking me all different questions (and I had a little cry :cry:) but it was such a release in terms of the stress I've been feeling with my increasing acne problem. Anywhoo, I had the acupuncture done and it did not even hurt a bit. This particular woman does acupuncture with Japanese needles which are apparently much thinner ? After I got up I felt like I had a deep tissue massage. So to cut a long story short the lady said she could definitely help with the acne, with straightening out my cycle and with my little "I don't poop too regular" problem. :redface: Oh and she gave me a special tea to drink 3 times a day. I'm so excited for it to work !!!!!:pray:

ooh I'm so happy for you! :hug: that's great! I have started seeing an acupuncturist/herbalist/kinesiologist lately also! she is wonderful and so so good at what she does and she also does the japanese needles! They are tiny aren't they and don't hurt a bit! Just a tiny *****! It's so good for your body....
I am seeing my AP so she can help me fall pregnant basically but also to help lower stress levels and to relax more... and overall health! I always feel so relaxed afterwards for a few days.... I can't wait for my next appt! I believe in natural healing and medicine... its so special ;)

I wish you every success with your Acupuncturist appointments and hope your acne clears up very soon! :P

Good for you. Most people cringe when you start talking about acupuncture, but I am a huge fan. I have my first miscarriage in August 2006 and continued to have them so went to have ap and herbs as well. I got pg in my first month, he also cleared up my eczema. Amazing and powerful stuff, I love it too. I love the high on life kind of feeling that the AP leaves you with and it lasts for days.

Thanks girls ! Yeah I feel like I've stumbled across something magical :lol: Plus this lady is a specialist in fertility issues as well so double bonus for me. I can't wait to be growing and glowing :lol: I've given myself 2-3 months to get it all under control and reduce stress levels, have beautiful skin and improve my overall well being to create a healthy environment for a healthy baby and hopefully at the end of it all, get a BFP :dance:
