Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture for Fertility

[Grake]

Hi Sue,

Looks like it definatley has its advantages! I've noticed my mood has been better since, and I had ewcm for the first time! Fingers cross this is the month for us.

- ShopGirl sorry I cant help, as I am from Melbourne.

I started going to acupuncture in January and as given a few different herbs to take. It has normalised my periods - I was only getting them every 8 months, now they're monthly. I have had a couple of early losses, so I'm obviously able to get pregnant, but I've not been able to keep a baby yet, so I obviously still need work.

Unfortunately I've had to stop going until I get another job, so all the hard work is probably being unravelled But I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

i had great success with TCM (traditional Chinese medicine)
Saw the TCM practioner in the Jan as i had done 7 IVF cycles with one successful birth and a m/c . I had being trying to get pg for 10 years. Had tried heaps of other things in between. He said it would take 6 months to work. In June, I got a BFP whilst waiting for my AF to start so we could start IVF again!! Our beautiful son was born 9 months later- i definately think it worth giving a go!!

I worked for us - when nothing else did!!!

good luck

Hey ShopGirl

I know of someone who is near Brisbane, I have only started going to her myself so I can't give a success story yet but she is nice and does apparently specialise in these things.

I'm not sure I am allowed to put her name on here? So let me know if you want me to PM you

I want to do the herbs too! but I am on thyroxine and I can't do both. Hopefully next time I see the doc my TSH level is enough so I can go off it and try the herbs instead! My doctor is pretty good about natural therapies etc. At the moment the acupuncturist is just trying to regulate my cycles.

Would love to hear more success stories re acupuncture

Just wondering Grake if you think the chinese medicine worked. I am going to enquire into it this week after reading some herbs can help with blocked tubes. Also what can I expect to pay? I have no idea.
