Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Hiya ladies, just wanna ask about acupuncture and how effective this is in improving fertility and the chances of having a baby? My boss mentioned about this being linked to fertility and conception but she has no knowledge on acupuncture specifics. Any thoughts, share it to me please. Cheers! :)

acupuncture and herbal medicine used together is said to help in infertility cases... Of course, it's not the total solution. Traditional medical solutions must also be used together with it.

I'm not sure if I would enjoy pins being sticked on me... but I have a friend who is into this and really swears to its effects.

Ooh, I'm getting so interested with Acupuncture! Is it proper to ask my OB GYN if she knows anyone or any facility that offers this service? :confused:

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Actually Abana, I've tried asking for AUS facilities offering acupuncture. I bet you have some in US as well. This is getting popular these days. :)

They said it's relaxing! What a "relaxing" way to get pregnant! :D

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Nope. It scares me a bit. You know the idea of pins on your tummy and all that...

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

I'm smelling a pun in here... :p

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Actually there is! LOL! :D

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Yeah, I've done some research and yes, brace yourself for those pins on your abdomen. But I don't mind.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Not yet but the thought of those needles on my tummy scares the hell out of me!!!

I've recently found out that Acupuncture doesn't really directly treat infertility, but it does help in relaxation and reducing stress. Stress, as we all know, is one of the major reasons why women do have difficulty in getting pregnant. So it's more of creating an internal balance, paving the way to get pregnant.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Oh, is that so? Thanks for the enlightenment.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

I agree. There's no definite way of getting pregnant ASAP but there are more ways than one in managing/treating it to assist conception.

@Fanny - Yup! Just sharing what I needed to share.
@ Baha- Knowing what's wrong with our bodies first is a sure way of ruling out infertility. Then comes Patience.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Indeed, it is! And I won't get surprised if the instances of infertility being rooted to stress is astonishingly high these days.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Stress is also a factor related to some heart diseases. Oh, the culprit! But with what is happening these days to our country and with our personal battles, stress is very much difficult to handle.

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Yeah, it's either we succumb to it or deal with it then shrug it off. Oh boy, it's easier said than done! :(

Re: Ever tried Acupuncture?
 

Yep, it is. Whew!

We don't have any option at all coz as mums that's how we roll! ;) But we have an option to go into some Acupuncture session after Christmas coz it'll definitely be a fun and exhausting moment- working at the inn, taking care of my family especially my little prince and prepping for Christmas! :)
