I started acupuncture 3 months before my IVF which is the minimum recommened time frame according to my acupuncturist. I went 3 times a month and when having the egg transfer had acupuncture right before and right after the transfer. In addition to being really relaxing during an incredibly stressfull time in our lives, our IVF worked! I believe the mind is a powerful tool and anything I could do to ease my mind and give me the feeling I was doing positive things towards getting pregnant was well worth it.
