Hey gogglep0t :wave:

After much online research, I have just started seeing a doctor of chinese medicine who does acupuncture in conjunction with my OBGYN and Clomid.

She began by doing a detailed consultation with loads of questions, she looked at my temp charts, checked out my pulse and tongue. We discussed my options then she did the acupuncture. It was not scarey or painful. I see her once per week and she has prescribed some herbs and small dietary changes (ie me and DH to eat walnuts daily).

I dont know if it is working yet, but after 15months of ttc, I feel good doing something pro-active to catch that eggie. Lots of ladies find it a really positive step to getting their bfps. :babydust2:Good luck:babydust2:

I've just started TCM acupuncture and although I haven't had results yet, I feel very positive and Im told I will see results within a couple of weeks.

Plus, its an inexpensive form of treatment that alot of women swear by. I've PM'd you some details.

I've just been reading about this online too after a friend told me her friend tried it and got pregnant after 2 months of using it.

I'm keen to give it a go not only for the physical benefits of increasing blood flow and your internal organs working properly, but also for the stress and relaxation benefits. Even if you're the most level headed and pragmatic person (like I think I am), consciously trying to conceive can have a worrying effect on you whether you know it or not, and this stress has to effect your body - Chinese really focus on the connection between the mind and body, and address this in using accupuncture.

Read more here, I found this quite informative:

Good luck, I'll post how I go when I have a session.
