It helped me a lot. They work with your cycle and the last time i ovulated it was a little late in the cycle which makes it harder to get pregnant as the luteal phase isn't long enough - however my acupuncturist then extended my luteal phase and alhumdulilah I am now pregnant.
Its overall very good for all fertility issues. After just a month I was able to come off prescription medication I was on for sever period pain.

It is very different to hijama as there is no blood letting.
Hijama ofcourse is a prophetic medicine so am sure is also very helpful.
With acupuncture you need to visit a specialist regularly - but the best times are the first week of your cycle so when you just start your period (they work on making sure your body releases an egg) then two weeks laster when it is likely you have ovulated. a good physician will make you monitor your temperature levels to know when you ovulated and will work on that the second half of your cycle
Unfortunatley I have since miscarried - however iA I am hopeful it will happen again soon and I do believe acupuncture is what helped me conceive quickly initially.
I got my cycle today :-( I'm trying to stay positive but it's very disappointing. I don't even have the heart to tell my husband yet because we were supposed to take the pregnancy test next week. We were so close! I still have a couple more try's of IUI left but I'm just really heartened at the fact we have to go through this cycle again. Please keep me in your prayers and I hope that I conceive on my next cycle.
Hi Natasha! any updates? Hope you are doing well...I am in the same boat as you and wanted to see how you are doing.
@escapist
I'm doing well :-) Thanks for asking :-) This is my second round of IUI and I am currently in the 2 week waiting period, hoping I don't get my period. My doctors upped my dosage of Clomid this time so we'll see if it worked. If I don't conceive this cycle or the next IUI, they want to move to IVF. So I am hoping that I can conceive iA. What about you? How many IUI cycles have you done?
Hi Natasha,
InshAllah this is it for you!!! I have PCOS & hypothyroid and have been ttc #1 since 2012, went thru 5 clomid cycles back then, all BFN. I have had one miscarriage and d&c and that was a natural bfp so I figured it wouldnt be too hard to fall pregnant… but after the failed clomid cycles my RE at that time did an hsg, said the left fallopian tube was blocked and advised IUI or IVF.
It was tough and I took a ttc break, found a new RE this year, she is treating the pcos and hypo first, so since Feb 2015 I have been on 1500mg of metformin and .25 of synthroid. I then had a hysteroscopy and the RE cleaned up scar tissue from the d&c, and confirmed my left tube is OPEN alhamd…
So, this month I am back on clomid 50mg 5-9, and my first ever IUI. Its cycle day 16, I have not ovulated yet its going really slow so I am not sure how this cycle will turn out. Keep me in your duas.
@escapist
Inshallah things will work out for you! I will def. keep you in my duas :-) I have PCOS too and have been on 1500mg metformin and 0.25 of levothyroxine. I had an HSG done (both the saline and dye version) and it looked ok. If I don't conceive this IUI, I will most likely take a 1-2 month break and resume my last trial. I'm glad my hubby is super supportive, it's actually my parents who are just really worried and it's so hard explaining what exactly us going on. I try to give them as much info as I can but the rest of the time I just say please pray for me :-)
update with me: Husband and I have been to st marys hospital in manchester for the bloodwork .. this was about 2week ago .. they said doctor will see us around 6week time to discuss whats happening next which path of IVF .. today I got my appointment letter plus other information .. my appointment is next week!! so I'm happy that I'm not having to wait so long ..
This whole procedure is so scary though .. I've not started anything yet but I can't believe that I'm going to go through with it .. having my blood done I cried soooooo much lol I don't know how I'm going to have it done .. I never ever imagined going through with IVF but what can I do when I don't have any other option left .. InshaAllah everything is happening for the best ..
please everyone keep me in your prayers .. I really do need them :)
I am praying for you @sonipari . IA all will be well. You can do it. Tell them before the procedure that you are nervous about it and IA they will walk you through it. Praying for success here. Keep us updated!
If anyone else has gone through IVF recently or is having is plzzz msg me so I feel alittle better .. I am soooo scared ... I could really do with talking to someone
So I am 0/2 with the IUI trials. I just got my cycle today. I feel very disappointed and really want to cry but I can't because I'm at work. I really thought maybe this time it would happen.
I called the doctor and his nurse said that both times my progesterone levels weren't that great and so maybe they will increase my clomid levels. They did increase it the second time, so they'll probably up the dose again.
I'm probably going to take 1-2 months break and try to lose some weight and then try again. I have one trial left and after that it's straight to IVF so I hope third times a charm.
Please keep me in your duas and I will pray for all the ttc girls as well

Hey. Although I have not gone through IVF myself, my older sister very recently has. She went through IVF this year after problems conceiving for 5-6 years. MashAllah she gave brith to twins a couple of weeks ago (1 baby boy 1 baby girl). InshaaAllah you will also find success in IVF.

aww that's good news mashaAllah .. InshaAllah .. I hope so :)
Hey everyone .. I went to st marys in manchester today .. I met with the dr and he went through everything all my test previous history reports etc .. anyway as you all know my left tube is blocked he came to the conclusion that I have to have my left blocked tube removed :( I'm devastated :( as soon he said that I couldn't stop crying .. today was a very big day for me .. this is an extremely big step .. he said that my tube is blocked and swollen so it could reduce chances of the ivf so thats why
anyway he also said I am entitled to 2cycles of ivf ... he said he definitely wants me to go see a counsellor as he feels I will be needing one .. I was soooo upset there .. couldn't stop crying .. I'm finding this sooo hard .. he went through the risks involved which scared me even more .. as in the past I've had an ectopic .. so I've got a higher risk if this happens he said they may need to remove the other tube aswell this got me really worried and really scared me :( ...
I asked about waiting list for the ivf and he said there is no waiting list! I have to have my tube removed before I can start ivf and the waiting list for that is a couple of month :( .. he said if everything was ok I could have started ivf next month! abit gutted but what can I do .. I also have to go have a smear test .. believe it or not I've never had one ..
in conclusion I was upset just kept crying .. cried all the way back home :( .. told my mum whilst crying and she was heart broken and soooooo upset .. she was asking if there was any way they could clean tubes?? as she'd heard people saying you could .. she knows how big of a softy I am .. she can't believe that this is happening to me .. since I've come back I'm so upset .. feel like crying all the time .. I don't know what to do
these past few days I've been so upset .. one of my cousin who just got married has got pregnant straight away so yeah I am happy for her but I've been crying and crying .. I can't help it .. It hurts so much .. I've been married over 4 years now ..
the dr wants to see me in december hoping everything will be sorted them so I can get get ready to start my ivf ..I am all over the place at the moment .. don't know what to do .. who to talk to ...
I hoping you guys here can help me, understand what I'm going through and support me .. I really really need it girls ....
sorry for such a loooong post :)
and advised IUI or IVF.
its going really slow so I am not sure how this cycle will turn out. Keep me in your duas.
… yeah thats what I’m going to do at my appointment tell them clearly how scared I am
