I swear they helped me get pregnant and stay pregnant!!</p> <p>Lots of luck that your cycle regulates!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110608 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:28:47 +0000 arielle9510 110608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the replies! I don't think I would be up for drinking it, but 5-6 pills doesn't seem too bad. Maybe I'll mention this to her, but for now I think acupuncture 2x a week until O will help (hopefully!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110570 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:41:47 +0000 honeybunches12 110570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is an acupuncturist/herbalist and I was doing acu and herbs for 2 1/2 years before I got pregnant. I was seeing a fertility specialist and did herbs for 2 years in the liquid format (boiled raw herbs into a tea and drank the tea) and also continued until I was 13 weeks. My acupuncturist said that the acupuncture and the herbs really do help with fetal growth and to prevent miscarriage and I really believe that it did help me a lot. I had NO morning sickness and a very easy first trimester and I am sure the acupuncture and herbs helped that a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110275 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:04:47 +0000 looch 110275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did both pills and the powder that you make into a tea. I didn't have to take 20 pills though, it was more like 5 for the fertility support/digestion/lung clarity formulation I was taking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110274 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:03:17 +0000 kml636 110274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking herbs in the liquid form. My acupuncturist seems to be big on it. They are super nasty. I take them mixed in hot water now that I'm pregnant because they do contain some alcohol. </p> <p>She has given me some that are supposed to prevent miscarriage, but I'm a little skeptical because I can't seem to find anything on the internet supporting this. I'm still taking them though, I don't think they can hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110190 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:36:06 +0000 GreenThumb 110190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My acupuncturist added herbs to my treatment during the pre-ovulation phase during my last cycle. I take 6 pills a day (3 morning, 3 evening) with a warm beverage (like tea) starting just after my period stops until I see my temp rise. She said that they would help with blood flow to the ovaries and uterus and also increase CM. I can't really say that I noticed a physical difference last month, but I am taking them again this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110156 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:03:18 +0000 chopsuey 110156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uncle's an acupuncturist and I asked him for one of the other bees a while back. He said he would treat with herbs. I couldn't do the 20 pills though. It's a lot easier to drink the cooked stuff imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acupuncture-amp-herbs#post-110151 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:59:00 +0000 arielle9510 110151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing acupuncture to help regulate my cycles since December. I feel that it has helped tremendously and am now trying 2x a week to help me ovulate earlier.</p> <p>My acupuncturist has asked me a few times about taking herbs. She said she could get them in pill form, but I'd have to take atleast 20 a day. I'm not sure I could handle taking all those pills or if I even want to! Are any of you ladies currently taking herbs? Do you take pills or cook them? Do you think it's necessary or acupuncture will be enough? Thanks! </p>
