What if I unknowingly become pregnant while receiving acupuncture

Condition analysis:
As indicated, we utilize different acupuncture procedures depending on the phase of menstrual cycle (during menstruation, pre-ovulation, ovulation/pre-implantation and luteal phases).

After the potential implantation period (usually six to nine days post ovulation), we always consider the possibility of pregnancy and modify our protocol accordingly. The treatment during the later part of the cycle (the Phase 4 approach) is extremely gentle, intended to induce relaxation and minimize the release of harmful stress hormones, which can also help decrease the unwanted uterine contractions. I consider that our Phase 4 approach is not only absolutely safe, but it also helps stabilize the implantation of embryo.  Therefore, I usually recommend those patients, especially those who have histories of recurrent early miscarriages, to continue the treatment during the first trimester.

Unfortunately, many people (including health professionals and acupuncturists) frequently discuss acupuncture in generic terms.  It is important to remember that there are many ways of doing acupuncture, and potential risks and benefits vary greatly depending on who does the treatment and when and what kind of acupuncture methods are used. Please keep in mind this important issue when you read about acupuncture in any media or discuss your acupuncture treatment with your reproductive medicine specialists.

How To Take A Pregnancy Test At Home? There is a home pregnancy test which you can observe with changing cervical mucus. The cervical mucus becomes more sticky and thick with a milky look after conception. The discharge increases due to high level of estrogen in the body. For comparing the difference, you should be aware of normal color and consistency of your cervical discharge; this requires you to be more observant.

Of all the above methods, the most accurate method of pregnancy test at home is with a urine pregnancy stick. You can purchase the kit from any medical store; it is simple to use, not so expensive and quick in result, besides you can do it confidentially at your home. All you have to do is pour few drops of first morning urine on the indicated spot on the strip. Observe the result in positive or negative as mentioned on the strip after the said specific time. It is the most reliable pregnancy test at home which is used by women all over the world
