Hi Trish, welcome to our group! Yes, we're definitely on similar schedules. It's always nice to have cycle buddies. I haven't tried acupuncture in general (even for non-fertility stuff), so I figure it can't hurt. I understand the expense, though...we were doing our IUIs with a different insurance and it pretty much only covered the cost of meds. I can't imagine how much in debt we'd be if we had to cover IVF on our own. Acupuncture probably wouldn't be an option then.
I'm truly that you find success this time!

Caryn - the shared risk program sounds great! Congrats on getting accepted... And for starting Lupron...you are on your way!

AFM - not much news. We told DH's immediate family about all this last week, and this week, FIL called him and asked if there was anything they could do (very sweet of him). So today when DH and I were discussing acupuncture, DH said "we can just send the bill to my dad!" (joking, of course). Also, I found out that DH's cousin also did IF treatments, and she had a baby girl in January. Not sure what she did, but at least I know she was successful!

All right, time to sign off for the night.
