[quote=Anonymous]I have done two IVF cycles but both failed.  Before the second cycle I started doing acupuncture.  Although I cannot say it has helped me get pregnant (at least not yet), the difference in the symptoms (side-effects of drugs) was huge.  During my first cycle, I had terrible headaches, pretty bad nausea, severe mood swings, etc.  Although I did have some symptoms in the second cycle, they were muuuuuuch lighter (even though the dosages of the drugs were higher).  I already knew acupuncture is great for people going through chemotherapy (to reduce the side effects of chemo drugs), so I was not surprised it helped me with the side effects of the fertility drugs.

The acupuncturist I tried is Kerri Westhauser.  She has offices in DC (close to Dupont Circle), Maryland (Bethesda) and Virginia (Falls Church).  She is very nice and seems to know a lot about fertility.

Even if the only benefit is to help you deal with the side effects, I would highly recommend it.

Good luck.[/quote]
