Hi
I didn't have acupuncture during this most recent IVF but I did through both FETs and also 2nd & 3rd fresh IVFs.
I started having acupuncture at least 3 months before I started the treatment and then once having the treatment I had it every week.....and then on day of ET I had it twice, once before and once after transfer. My FETs were through natural cycle and not medicated.
I also had it when I was on clomid, which is when I actually started acupuncture, 3 years ago....again, I had it every week for 6mths whilst on clomid.
My acupuncturist isn't a specialist in fertility but he has lots of working experience and sound knowledge of working with women going through IVF treatments and issues relating to fertility.....although mine may not be a specialist in this area, he actually teaches acupuncture at degree level and has been on up-to-date courses for acupuncture during IVF.
It can get expensive I know.....through each treatment cycle I've probably paid at least £500 for acupuncture alone. I've also had one off de-tox acupuncture sessions prior to starting treatment. Mine charges £35 per session (London)
Good luck
Natasha
