anyone sought acupuncture to assist in conceiving? thinking of trying for that reason, have had acupuncture for other reasons in the past.
thanks in advance.
I was on Depo-provera for 6 years. Doctors never told me about fertility problems or the bone density issues associated with it. Now I've been off for 3 years and have been trying to conceive ever since. I'm 27 years old now and don't want to be still trying when I'm 40. I only want one child so I really don't want to fertility drugs and end up with triplets or something. I've heard acupuncture I a viable alternative to drugs. If anyone has tried it I would love to hear your results. And if anyone knows of any other alternatives please share.
I do realize, as with most studies of alternative medicine, that hard evidence proving or disproving the effectiveness is nonexistent. Fact of the matter is no one is willing to take alternative medicine seriously. This unfortunately includes such things as white willow bark, an herb that is entirely responsible for chemically manufactured aspirin just as opium poppies are responsible for morphine and so forth and so on. In fact whether the modern medical profession would like to admit it or not almost all of modern medicine originally stems from some type of alternative or "snake oil medicine". Now of course this does not mean that all of it is valid by any means. "Leeching" a patient to remove bad blood or evil spirits is of course absurd. However acupuncture is one that does not have enough evidence through valid controlled studies to prove or disprove it's assistance in fertility. Which is why I asked for PERSONAL EXPERIANCE and not opinions.
And if you're wondering why I'm so instant on a natural alternative: After years of being medicated without ever being told of the consequences I have been left with kidney and liver damage, osteopenia, and fine hand tremors. Not to mention the fertility problems I'm now experiencing. Yes, pharmaceuticals are very necessary and I do still take those that are, however you can see why I'm extremely reluctant to take any more pharmaceuticals than absolutely necessary. And fertility medicines are not a necessity.
I am 42 and have recently been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure with FSH of 48.5. My doctor told me that I would NEVER be able to conceive a baby with my own eggs, and that I should try IVF with donor eggs, which is not what I want to go through. Do you know somebody who could increase fertility and get pregnant with acupuncture treatment? I would appreciate to hear your answer.
does anybody have success story's?? please share or even advice
We have been trying to get pregnant for years. We have tried everything. We have tried several different types of fertility meds and recently did In-Vitro fertilization. Nothing seems to work. We have done acupuncture as well. We conceived naturally twice years ago and miscarried, but we were not planning to have a family that young, so we thought we has time. I had my tarot cards read and the woman who read them asked me why I am worried about my fertility. I never told her anything about myself or my concerns.She then told me that their was a soul that was waiting to come into my family. She said that the soul was waiting for the right timing and with the magician card crossing a child card that it shows that nothing is impossible. She told me a spell to do that will help us. She said the soul was waiting on the next full moon. My husband thinks this is nuts and although I feel a little weird doing it, I am willing to try anything. I have prayed and prayed to god, I believe what this woman said because even as I left her office, I still had never told her my reasons for coming in there. I left with a spell that I never asked her for. Is doing this going to far? My husband thinks so. He is waiting for a response from people here with me. What do you think? Would you try it?
