infertility and acupuncture
Hi,
I just wanted to share with you my story. I am married for 8 years and we have been trying to get pregnant for about 13 months and did one IUI but it failed. We were planing to do IVF this month, and I started acupuncture with a certified doctor 2 months ago and took Chinese herbal medicine. on May, 3 days before my first day of my period, I started the treatment twice a week and on my day 11, 13 and 15 I did the accupuncture as well- while trying to get pregnant naturally. On my 22nd of my cycle I noticed spotting! And on my 23rd I did another accupuncture. On my 28th day of my cycle, I did a home pregnancy test and IT WAS POSITIVE!!!! I was in shock, happy and sad and excited and scared...
I am 7 weeks pregnant!
I don't know if it was the acupuntcture...about 4 months ago, I lost 20 lbs and also from May 5th to June 14, I did alot of gardening, cutting bushes, shoveling, mulching- I lifted about 10-12 bags of mulches and carrying them throughout the yard without knowing that I was pregnant!
Maybe the combination of these helped me to get pregnant. Or maybe it just happened when we did not expect it after 13 months.
I hope everyone who comes here on this site and all over the world get pregnant very soon. And I hope my pregnancy stays with me.
Best wishes,
ZZ
