Hi guys, Thought I'd join the debate on acupuncture. I didn't use acupuncture during my first IVF treatment last year (which was unsuccesful ). However, I have been using it this year throughout my IVF treatment - it has definitely helped with regards instigating a full on period which I hadn't had for a while prior to my most recent IVF treatment(acupuncture practitioner believed my womb was 'cold' and needed to expel old blood etc). Have also seen an increase in the thickness of the lining of my womb from last year. I had my blastocyst transfer on Monday and had acupuncture before and after the transfer. I suppose the proof is in the pudding and I m currently in the waiting game. However, I do know that it is helping me stay relaxed and focused in the meantime which can't be bad.
