I tried to find an old thread before starting this one but didn't have any luck. Is there anybody out here that does acupuncture before/after their FETs? I'm planning on trying it this time but I'm nervous because we didn't to it with our DD.

I have done acupuncture leading up to transfer and right before/after transfer with my son. However, due to covid, I couldn't have an acupuncturist come to the clinic like they did last time so we just skipped it this time. I am still in my 2ww, so not sure what the results are yet.

A few friends of mine combined acupuncture with IVF, and got positive results.
