Hiya! 
Just want to get opinions here - I'm heading into our 8th month TTC; I'm 30 and appear healthy to all intents and purposes (well apart from inherited High Cholesterol), DH is 37 and also fairly healthy. We're not having much luck so far in getting PG apart from one suspected chemical pregnancy a few months back. Okay, I do have a point here,  , I know 8 months isn't a huge amount of time in the grand scheme of things  but it's starting to take it's toll on me so I'm looking at getting acupunture...
But before I go chasing dreams with something that could be considered a little wacko  has anyone had any experiences with acupuncture and TTC and is it a valid option to take? Or should I learn my patience and just hang in there trusting nature to do it's thing? 
(my doc has said she'll start the process of testing if nothing has happened by October). ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

There are a few girls on my other board that do acupuncture for TTC. Although admittedly they are on the IF threads. One has just gone through IVF at 42 and is pregnant with twins (attempt #13). The other 2 that I know of 1 is going old fashioned and charting and the other is prepping for IVF herself.
I think give it a go. I am quite squeamish about needles but it would be worth it for that BFP. Best of luck Angie  ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Thanks for your reply Peace - I did a bit more digging and found an acupuncturist (in my building at work of all places ) who specialises in womens health, and in particular fertility issues, so have made an appointment for tomorrow... will let you know how it goes! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
