Different, But...

I had an acupressure treatment this afternoon for my bad hip. (I know I've mentioned it before, but it totally works better than anything else I've tried for my sciatica.) My dad and I both see this guy.

So I was having my treatment and David said to me, "Your dad tells me that you're trying to get pregnant." I explained the whole situation and said we're still a month or two away from really trying, since I need a test done and then I need to go back to the doctor for an evaluation.

I asked David if he thought there was any help for our fertility troubles through acupressure or acupuncture. He said that there definitely is, mainly through equalizing the female hormonal cycle, which would likely result in easier ovulation without the risks associated with fertility drugs (ie, multiple pregnancies, hormonal problems, etc.).

I got online and did some research in acouple of places.

Anyone know someone who's tried this? I'd love to hear about it. Other thoughts?
