Acupunture

Hi Just wondering who important you think it is to have acupunture been for a consultation and it's very expensive but willing to pay if it is worth it what do you think?

  • I love it - I'm a total convert. I don't think it's "important" but it's fab. I got preg the first month I had it - although it didn't work out because the baby was ectopic and we haven't started trying again yet - but I love it. It's really relaxing and sorts out any problems with my cycles etc.

    I had it post op and healed so quickly and my cycles picked up again really quickly.

  • Hey,

    I'm in London so I go to a lady who works for Zita west clinic who I love - she's fab and I get on with her quite well.

    You're best to find someone who is registered with the Bristish Accupunture Council www.acupuncture.org.uk/ as they have to have a certain amount of training etc and it guarentees a standard and somewhere to go if things go wrong. There's a list to search on the site. It's important to make sure they have BAC accreditation as anyone can set themselves up as an accupunturist.

    I am always amazed by the effect of it but nothing is guarenteed. After my ec she gave me a treatment to clear out my uterus and get everything going - she said I might get some extra bleeding and cramps - but that would be a good thing as it's clearing out after the preg. Anyway within an hour of getting home I was passing massive clots and had really bad cramps. And my next period came exactly 30 days after my post op bleed and they say it usually takes 6 weeks! It could be a coincidence but I've found it very effective.

    She even says she can make my right ovary win the ovulation race every month (as I don't have a left tube any more) athough I'll believe that when I see it!

    It's also deeply relaxing - I often fall asleep during my treatments!

    I'm just hoping it works so quickly again - here's hoping!!
