Hi all
I am a 33 yr old with unexplained Infertility. I am consulting Dr. Greenhouse at SG. I did 4 natural IUIs (without luck) as my periods/ovulation is regular. One monitored IUI also failed and onto the second one  . At this point, I am very disheartened and do not know what to do! Thinking of doing acupuncture. Did anyone have any luck with acupuncture? Or any other herbs/ayurveda/yoga you may have tried? Any good acupuncturists recommendations around Alexandria Va or union station, Washington DC?
I appreciate all the input and any kind words of support. God bless and Thanks!! |

| My dx was also unexplained and I too did acupuncture which I still do. I enjoy it but no I do not believe it helped make the difference for me. What I think did make the difference was doing an endometrial scratching/biopsy. Talk to your OBGYN about doing one as many REs will only do it in concert with an IVF cycle. |

Although I do agree with PP that is I were to put my money on something, it would be the endo biopsy. (did both & just so hard to tell what value the acupuncture provides.) |

| Thank you all for the information. As I am also suffering from pelvic pain also called as Vaginismus, I would like to know if this procedure causes pain. Also how does this help unexplained infertility? |

| Unexplained infertility is often time simply undiagnosed infertility. OP, have you ruled out endometriosis? |

| An Endo biopsy/scratching is not too painful. Take two Motrin before the procedure and you'll be fine. Procedure takes 5 minutes. I had it done twice in one cycle and the second time I didn't even bother with the Motrin. And as a pp stated, unexplained is simply undiagnosed. It usually means your Dx is related to something that you haven't explored yet - eg. Endometriosis or lining just needs to be reset so to speak. |
