Has any of you ladies ever succeeded in gettN preggers using either chinese...

...massages or accuPRESSURE? I am trying the "natural" method to get pregnant. I have been diagnosed as "unexplained infertility". Ive been charting for two months which is looking good so far, Ive been having a biphasic pattern and the chart shows that I infact did ovulate, a problem that I was having 5years ago. I guess it "cured" itself with me properly taking care of my body

However, Im beginning to believe that my tubes may have a little bit of blockage. and someone who has also seen my charts claim that I have a short luteal phase, I dont think that that is true because my luteal phase has been over 10 days long.

Sorry I dont meant to blab on but starting this cycle, I began taking cinnamon and poria and doing chinese abdominal massages along with accupressure {not accupucture}. I have also been doing hypnotherapy to keep me relaxed because I have anxiety and that sometimes can prevent conception. I did these things ONLY for the 1st half of my cycle {before ovulation}. This cycle for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I noticed that I have experienced "ovualtion spotting" and I think it came from trying these new things, I was happy to discover this in belief that this combination may work for me. I need you ladies extra input. If you or someone you know has gotten pregnant using ANY or all of these methods please share with me. Thanks in advance. Please spammers and troll keep away!! or you will be reported. Please be nice. HERES MY CHART http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/angelface

I can certainly understand how accupressure or massage can help with some types of infertility. This is because accupressure and massage are known to influence blood flow and hormone levels. However, I cannot see how it would have any effect on structural interference such as a blockage in the fallopian tubes. In fact, it would seem to me that you would be at great risk of an ectopic pregnancy if you did succeed.

Lots of chinese medicine sounds kindof wacky, but it is a different approach. However, do keep in mind that if you have health problems, taking herbs in medicinal quantities could cause problems with your meds.

My suggestion is to get the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" for help in interpreting your chart. Many libraries have this book. I would also recommend Vitamin B complex because if your phase is in question, it has vitamin B6 to correct the problem. Also contains folic acid.

My best friend lost a baby, then suffered several miscarriages and had a very hard time conceiving another baby for years. She went to fertility treatments, etc. you know, the western medical model. Basically when she quit all that after no success and went to acupuncture and chinese herbs, she finally conceived and now has a healthy 2 year old girl. Sometimes all one needs is a better balance of energy in the body that can be brought on by acupuncture. The trauma of losing a baby at 7 months gestation gave her many energy blockages and emotional scars that could only be cleared away by the acupuncture. Good luck to you and hope you are successful. It seems to me that you are on the correct path and staying positive and open and balanced will get you your baby!

massage does not work. the only effective thing to try is sexual intercourse, that will get you pregnant
