Advice for those TTC with navel rings.

Ok, this may sound weird to some of you, but I really believe this now. I work for a chiropractor who also does acupuncture. I've seen over 5 women (plus myself) come in in the last year and a half and get pregnant on their first round of acupuncture for infertility. That's not really my point, though. My boss told me that having a belly button piercing is not good for TTC. The belly button is an acupuncture point for infertility! As soon as he told me this, I took mine out, started acupuncture treatments, and became pregnant immediately! I had been trying for 11 months before that. Yes, it may have been a coincidence, but in my mind it wasn't. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents and was hoping to help someone.

Hmmmm....maybe I should take mine out then! Out of all seriousness though, I've had three kids with my belly ring in. Guess I was lucky! Actually, I'm on C3 this go round.....so, if I don't conceive soon...out comes the ring! *LOL*

Thanks for the info,

Heather

I hope it works for you-I know it doesn't make a difference for everyone, but for me it did.

I have a belly ring that I managed to keep in with my first 2 pregnancies. My husband thought it looked pretty strange just sticking out there at 9 months preggo and it got caught on my clothes a lot. I will probably leave it in this time too cause it gets some funny comments from my Dr. They had a whole episode on Sex and the City one night about acupuncture and fertility. It was pretty hilarious. Good luck.
