acupuncture and miscarriages

[Anonymous]

does anyone know if acupuncture can help someone with recurrent miscarriages? I have gone for general fertility and believe that it has helped me get pregnant, but now my problem seems to be having multiple miscarriages. Does anyone know if acupuncture can help with that, and anyone in particular to recommend?

I would say there is a small possibility that it could help. Acupuncture is useful in bringing blood supply to the uterus, so if you are having a problem with poor blood supply then it could possibly help (and so could eliminating caffeine and alcohol during the 2ww and first trimester, if you haven't already done so). Of course, most REs believe that 95+% of miscarriages are due to chromosomal problems, which acupuncture can't help, so if they've discovered chromosomal issues with your miscarriages then acupuncture may not be worth it.
