We had been trying to have a second child for two years without luck. Even with the help of a wonderful Consultant who tried to do everything for me, including laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, ovarian drilling and six cycles of clomid, we still hadn't succeeded. My sister was already having acupuncture with Linda, and said how much better it had made her feel, so I decided it was worth a go, I had nothing to lose. I called Linda and explained my history, immediately she put me at ease with her friendly nature. At my first appointment, Linda took some history and then got to work. After placing some needles into my lower back, Linda heated them with a 'moxa' stick which made me feel quite emotional. I felt the warmth radiating through to my lower abdomen and the front of my thighs. It was wonderful; it really felt that it was working already. After about four visits I decided I was feeling relaxed enough to give Clomid another try. I warned Linda at my next visit that we were 'actively trying' and she avoided the reproductive points and concentrated on relaxing me. Well, I am pleased to say that my period was late, and at last we had two blue lines! I am convinced that without acupuncture the drugs wouldn't have worked at all, and to be honest, we will never know whether it was soley the acupuncture that did the trick. I like to think it was. The main noticable benefit of acupuncture was how relaxed it made me, which anyone going through fertility problems will understand. Please give acupuncture a try, I have the best result possible from |
