Well, I've done 3 trips to the accu doc in the past 10 days. I feel awesome. He had me come in really frequently to help get my cycle in order and now I'll go once a week and take some chinese herbs for my next few cycles to see how it works. I'm really excited!
His wife was mostly cured from endometriosis after a few sessions of accupuncture and became pregnant within a few months. At that point, he was convinced and quit his job to become an accupuncturist.
I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket though, my RE has me on 50 mg clomid and I'm going to take it for this cycle- and see how it works.
I'm feeling more optimistic now than I've been in the past few months. I was just getting to a really dark, down place, I hope I never get back to that point.
Please let this work for me! Good luck everyone!

I know what you mean. I go to accupunture also and I love how relaxed I am afterwards. I look forward to going every week. I have been going since November and I can tell a big difference. I would have to say that even if it didn't help with anything else but relaxing me I would still go every week. I am also on 150mg of Clomid, so I hear you I am not putting all my eggs in one basket either. May you be blessed with a sticky bean!!

So, I want to know if it hurts? I hate needles but I am willing to have accupunture done esp. for my jaw (tmj).

The needles are long, but very fine. They are bendy and flexible and very similar to a strand of hair. The doctor only sticks it in a tap too. I don't find that it hurts, but only a little tender after the needle is out. I highly recommend it- I've had a few friends go for pain and it really worked well for them and that's why I decided to try it.
Go for it! Relieve some of the pain in your life!

I also recommend it!

I researched and found a lady who specialized in infertility treatment accupuncture. She was recommended by my fertility specialist. She had over 80% of her clients get pregnant within 10 treatments. I even sent my husband.

For me, my cycle length improved (went from 45-90 day cycles to 29-32 day cycles), relaxed me, and made my periods less painful.

For my husband, he actually would see an increase in sperm count and sperm mobility when he went. His sperm class would go from C-D to low B grade.

Good luck ladies!
