Hey Kaz, I went to a reflexologist in the Natural Health Centre in Courtney Place during pregnancy.

She was great and deals a lot with pregnant ladies.

I would also recommend neurological integration / cranial osteopathy. I have many friends who had 3+ miscarriages that were "unexplained" but these treatments identified hormonal issues etc and after 1 or 2 treatments they all fell pregnant and carried to term. ]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:43:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16356&PID=357550&title=natural-therapies#357550 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16356&PID=357544&title=natural-therapies#357544 Author: Kazzle

Hey Kazzle

We've been taking vit, min and herbal supplements for yonks and I've been having acupuncture (my DH had a few acupuncture sessions too, but decided it wasn't really for him). This has had a huge impact on DHs sperm count - from 1 mill with 5% motility 6 months after vas reversal to 20 mill with 60% motility at last count - so gone from zero chance of getting preg to the low side of normal (though some increase is to be expected naturally). We're still not preggers though and have spent a small fortune. Supposedly there's nothing wrong with me - just ancient, though ovulating normally, so we're still hoping, taking the supplements to do everything we can, and having IUI.

Sorry Kazzle, I can't remember if you're thinking about IVF but there've been a few studies showing that acupuncture can have a marked effect, the latest one showing a 65% increase in successful implantation. and we're hoping the same applies to IUI.
Good luck!]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:25:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16356&PID=357051&title=natural-therapies#357051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16356&PID=356380&title=natural-therapies#356380 Author: Kazzle

Just wondering if anyone has tried natural therapies...not to get pregnant as such but to hold onto the baby.

and if so what ones were used, we are looking at chinese herbal medicine and accupunture]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:51:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16356&PID=356380&title=natural-therapies#356380
