I saw her for 6 months before I tried to get pregnant (really to reduce impact of an inflammatory bowell but with a boost to fertility too) and I got pregnant on my third cycle. Nothing to lose, because it will reduce your stress if nothing else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-78570711670413486442007-10-09T15:48:00.000-05:002007-10-09T15:48:00.000-05:00I think acu is a huge help, but if cost is an issu...I think acu is a huge help, but if cost is an issue, maybe you could compromise and just do it before and after transfer to get the blood flowing to the uterus. That's what the one major study about acu and IVF studied and they found it helped.<BR/><BR/>Just found your blog recently.

She did a session before and after along with my regular weekly appointments. I credit my BFP in part to the acupuncture so I am biased. I say do it. You are doing so much already. I would hate for you to have any regrets later on.nickoletta100https://www.blogger.com/profile/17687545335045943082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959909924189831348.post-51625975407595632182007-10-05T16:30:00.000-05:002007-10-05T16:30:00.000-05:00Hmm, what was your impression last time?

You don't want to be second guessing yourself later on (which leads to even more stress). If on the other hand, you don't really think it made an impact than I would skip it and try something else (hopefully something for affordable). Honestly, whatever YOU choose will be the right decision. <BR/><BR/>p.s. I am so sad for your dog.
