[quote=Anonymous]We have just started our 2nd IVF cycle (our first one in February failed) and I had my first ever acupuncture appointment this morning.  I've been doing so much research on whether or not there is any substantial benefit in using acupuncture for fertility. No one seems to be able to give a clear answer, although my RE says he is fine with me doing it and thinks it helps even if it just reduces stress, although he requested I not take any Chinese herbal remedies. My friend used it w/her first IVF and was successful.
 
I am seeing Dr Chang on Vermont Avenue. She seems warm and capable, albeit a litle hard to talk with due to her strong accent. I thought based on our phone conversations that she would only be seeing me once a week until the retrieval, which seemed reasonable. Now she says we need to meet 3x a week and we are grappling with the cost. My husband is a little skeptical and doesn't take it too seriously...so that coupled with the news that I'll need more treatments than originally expected is a bit of  a problem. Yeesh. I've got to figure out if I am going to continue  with it.  Although at 43, I'm not sure I can afford to say no to anything that could possibly help my chances of conceiving.

I do have to admit, I've been loose as a noodle all day.
