I did not do acupuncture with either of my IVFs. I had 1 unsuccessful and later 1 successful. I did take it easy the day after the procedure but other then that no other changes to my life style.

I asked my RE about acupuncture and he didn't discourage me from it, but aid there is no proven benefit. Why would you choose this over some other naturopath remedies? We consulted GW integrative medicine clinic and they gave us some helpful advice on getting healthy, but it hasn't helped us conceive yet, but I feel better and have way more energy.

Actually there was a study done a few years ago proving that having acupuncture shortly before and after embryo transfer increases pregnancy rates to roughly 46% (don't remember the exact number though). Having said that, I had a perfect response to meds, good number of eggs retrieved, perfect looking embryos, acupuncture before and after the transfer, took a few days off not to stress and BFN. So who knows?
