I'm Currently Feeling: | I have had 3 acupuncture appointments now. Mine are $60 per session. The sessions are relaxing. I usually fall sleep. I can't say that it relaxes me so much that I don't think about TTC as much.
TTC is still on my mind every minute of everyday. It consumes me. I'm just trying acupuncture to see if it increases my chances. They say it takes 6-8 sessions to get the full effects. I would say try it! It doesn't hurt and is relaxing at the time! Let me know how it goes if you decide to do it!!

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hi, where abouts are you based? Ilive in essex and I get accupuncture done for £30 for about 3/4 hr-1hr including face scalp and back massage. It's from a very reputable chinese doctor on the high road. Soz hun butthese clinics inLondon or where ever I think charge extra for their name and their overheads. Local places can be just as good if not better. Just check that they specialise in and have experience in fertility. I tried 3 different people before I found this one! |

Hi PixieLou
Whereabouts in Essex is that? I want to look into some kind of holistic treatment for my OH and me and I live in Essex. Do they say it increases chances of conceiving? I have endometriosis and my OH has had one test that says his sperm count a bit low so I want to help our fertility as much as possible.
Thanks xx |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yep they are a very well know company for fertility and they are in magazines and stuff so thats why they charge so much
Not sure of any places around here but i might have a look as it does seem rather steep
Thanks
I live in berkshire - windsor

| Hi I would recommend swimming and yoga for relaxation if that is possible for you. Much cheaper and I feel so serene afterwards, especially yoga. x. | | | | Status: Offline
