I am not positive what kind my acupuncturist does, but I assume Chinese. I have noticed a difference in other things like my anxiety, bowel movements and just overall feeling better and more balanced (if that makes sense). I think with that comes the increased chance for getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy. This is our first cycle since I started acupuncture and the jury is still out for a few more days. But overall I think acupuncture helped me. Also, I know other women who only added acupuncture to a cycle and got pregnant.

I will try to find out what type my woman does (she specializes in IF too) and let you know.

I have been seeing a Korean Acupuncturist that also specializes in infertility. I am not pregnant but for me I see a difference in my energy level, quality of sleep, digestive system, over all ability to deal with stress and body aches and pain. My periods have also improved and I am having less spotting between periods. The thing that I like about acupuncture is that is natural and unlike western medicine it treats the cause not the symptom. The thing I dont like is it seems to take longer. For now I have decided to do both. My acupuncturist makes me this horrible tea which on my next cycle I will be taking Clomid So I will not be able to take the tea then.

Hello, I just went on Friday to a Korean man that does Accupressure (differece is they do ot use needles) by using pressure with his fingers. I am not going to lie, it hurt like hell and I am still sore. I thinking that that overall this is to heal the body by helping blood circulation. He calls it a tune-up. This man helped a dear friend of mine get pregnant as well as many others. I go back to see him on Wednesday. He leaned under the guidance of a buddhist monk and has been praticing for 40 years and has traveled al over the world healing people. I am excited to see what becomes of this. I will keep you updated.
