Summary:
intramural fibroids in pregnancy

I have a patient with a history of fibroids and cold womb. She has successfully shrunk fibroids with herbs in the past, but is now 7 weeks pregnant and ultrasound shows a 10cm x 8.5 cm in the muscles of the uterus. Does anyone know a good approach to 1. support and secure the fetus and 2. shrink the fibroid? Acupoints and herb formulas would be appreciated. Would moxa or TDP be indicated?
pelvic pain

Has anybody had success treating late pregnancy pelvic girdle pain with just press tack needles?

Does anybody have the study or info on the number of acupuncture treatments needed before embryo transfer for best results? I thought I remember something about 9 treatments and that it was Magarelli in Colorado that does this or did the study?
Thanks

Addiction to Laxatives
I am dealing with a friend who I have just found out has an addiction to laxatives but not to lose weight, instead to purge herself of emotions and stress. This has been going on for also ten years and suffers from chronic constipation. I am not sure to treat as an addiction, for constipation, for emotional anxiety issues.
