Lucky with Acupuncture
by: Amelia Hirota

Hi Molly,
I think that you were incredibly lucky with acupuncture the first time around. Did you have one treatment and get pregnant? Also, did you only have one treatment in February to try to restart your period?

It's important to remember that both miscarriage and pregnancy are very hard on the body. And, while it's been 2 years since the birth of your son, the irregularity of your cycle indicates that there is some imbalance going on.

Trying to time acupuncture right before ovulation is a short sighted approach to using acupuncture to enhance your fertility. I would recommend getting weekly treatments and taking personalized herbal formulas to address what is going on with your body.

Are you charting? At the very least, I would recommend charting your cycle to see when you're ovulating and how long your luteal phase is.

I'm not really concerned about your age, since you conceived so easily 3 years ago, so I recommend deeply nourishing your body and working closely with an experienced acupuncturist, who can help you understand your fertility signs and state of health. If you have further questions, please feel free to respond in the comments section.

Sending Baby Dust Your Way,

My name is Nicole and I started working with Amelia after not getting my period for several months after going off birth control pills. I had been on and off birth control pills for 10 years and was ready to start trying for a baby.

At 28 years old (and my husband was 29) we could not imagine that we would have problems conceiving. After 3 months and lots of tests with my OBGYN, I was encouraged to try acupuncture because there were no "medical" reasons why I wasn't getting my period.

After just one appointment with Amelia I got my period and after just 3 or 4 months, I was pregnant. I am now 32 weeks and due in September. We are so excited to meet our baby boy!

I would strongly encourage any woman to give acupuncture a try if they are having trouble conceiving or even just having trouble getting their body ready for conception. Best of luck to all of you!
