Acupuncture during IVF stims

[Anonymous]

My acupuncturist is not a fertility expert but her therapy helps me with handling stress. I asked her if it was okay to do acupuncture during IVF stims and she wasn't very sure what I was asking about. She told me no acupuncture after the embryo transfer. Do you gals do acupuncture while stimming with gonadotropins? Do you do acupuncture after ET? I know many women do acupuncture before ET.

The cycle when I got pregnant with my now 7 year old twins I did acupuncture two days and 4 days post transfer. My RE was totally in favor of it when I asked.

How about during stims when your follicles are growing?

Did acupuncture during all of my cycles (7 IUI, 2 IVF and now on 2nd FET) at Pulling Down the Moon. Had full-term success on 2nd IVF with twins.

I did acupuncture once a week for two months prior to IVF cycle and twice per week during stims. I did one session prior to transfer but not post. I was successful and had my DD. I think it helped me respond better to stims because I got 10 mature follicles with just 1 ovary. Fast forward 3 1/2 years I did acupuncture twice per week during stims and did not respond as well to meds but ended up with BFP.

I did it during stim and right before ET and immediately after ET (German protocol) for my OE IVF's and still BFN. So for my DE cycle, I just did the German Protocol at Pulling Down the Moon. Both times BFP!
