i'm thinking of trying acupuncture, to help with my cycles/TTC, but i'm a little nervous about it. i'm not a fan of needles (i say that, but then people remind me that i've had my nose pierced, my ears done twice, a tattoo, and i have my mother give injections every month for a health issue, so i guess i'm not a fan of them- but i deal with them when i need to). i was all set to just deal with the needles, but then i read mrs. tricycle's entry about it & saw the last picture with the needle running under her skin across the length of her forehead & WHOOOAA!! now i'm freaked out!

have you used acupuncture before? what was your goal (TTC/treating a health problem/overall health)? do you think it helped you with your goal? where were the needles placed on your body? did any of them hurt? how long did you have them in? do you think it's totally out of line for me to ask them to skip that scary forehead one, at least at first, i don't want to tell them how to do their job, but i also know that freaking out won't be helpful =D
