I haven't but it seems like it's worth a try. I've read positive things about chiropractic care well and anecdotally it worked for me. I randomly went twice the month I got pregnant and then not again n until a year post partum and my period magically came back like 2-3 weeks later. It could have totally been a fluke but it's worth a try!

I did. Not sure if it made a huge difference since I started it just before conceiving, but I do wonder if it helped keep my pregnancy, as I had a bleed at 5wks & she did some placental support points. Overall it was relaxing & that was worth it.

@Iced Tea: I did, and got pregnant the first cycle doing it (it was also my second cycle on Clomid), so it was probably a combination of the two. I'm 21 weeks and still going. I definitely think it helped me get pregnant and helped with symptoms after I did - I had no nausea, and have been pretty relaxed/anxiety-free so far. Good luck and let me know if you have any specific questions!

I did and credit it with being able to get pregnant three times without intervention. I have thin type PCOS and wasn't ovulating or having periods. After starting acupuncture and herbs I started ovulating regularly and got pregnant the first cycle we tried twice (one successful pregnancy, one miscarriage). My period came back quickly after the miscarriage and we got pregnant on the fourth cycle. I had been to a fertility clinic to diagnose the PCOS and they had said I had virtually no chance of ovulating without medication, so I was really impressed with acupuncture. Overall it was expensive, but worth it for us.

I did and honestly, it did not seem to help (still needed Ivf and did it through failed Ivf and FETs as well so not thinking it is what ultimately made Ivf successful). However it is relaxing and I felt good to be trying SOMETHING that might help, since so much of ttc is out of your control.

I did! I got pregnant a lot quicker than I thought I would, but who knows if it was due to that. At the very least, it was suuuper relaxing and a great time for a nap

I hadn't had a cycle in over a year. I went for acupuncture, 2 weeks later I was pregnant.

Yep! It took about six months of acupuncture to finally regulate my wacky periods. When I still didn't get pregnant after another six months, my acupuncturist tried an aggressive herbal treatment (a different formula for each part of my cycle). I felt a difference right away (fewer symptoms that go along with hormonal imbalance) and got pregnant during my next cycle. I had been TTC for a year before seeing an acupuncturist, so it took 2 years total. I went to an acupuncturist when my doctor diagnosed unexplained infertility and offered me meds. I wanted to see if alternative medicine could help me with any underlying issues, which the doctor didn't see interested in investigating. I know there are lots of variables when it comes to successful conception, but I am certain TCM made a difference for me.

I also got an acupuncture treatment within two days of going into labor with both of my kids. My acupuncturist says induction via acupuncture only works well if your body/baby are basically ready and just need a little nudge.

I did - and I got pregnant with DS2 the first cycle trying with acupuncture. This was after a mc, and I definitely think it helped my body.

@Iced Tea: I'm sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. Good luck trying again this cycle.

I just reached out to an acupuncturist in my area since I've read such great things about acupuncture helping with fertility and stress.

I can't help much with the vitex. I actually took vitex for about 4 months before trying to conceive to help regulate my cycles, but I decided to stop taking it before we started trying because I was worried what would happen if I was taking it and ended up pregnant.
