And thank you for your kind words.

However, I don't do this sort of thing anymore. This would basically be medical advice to a patient, practicing without a license (I'm definitely not an MD). Unfortunately, being in the industry, I can't just give friendly advice like the others here can. So I'm told.

That question is for your physician.

I can give info, but not advice.

In addition, I just don't know much about acupuncture. The few acupuncture papers I have read all had serious flaws in the study designs. If there is some great acupuncture research out there, I haven't seen it yet.

I'm sorry I can't help. Good luck with your 2WW.

I tried accupuncture for my 2nd IVF cycle and it was great! Very relaxing. My accupuncture specialist suggested no treatments during the 2ww. It worked for me!

Good luck!

My accupunturist wants me to come in once during the 2ww so I'm going in on Monday. She is an accupunturist that specializes in fertility treatments. Hope that helps! :)
