Hi there - I just had my 2nd IUI almost 2 weeks ago so I'm in the 2ww but I've been doing acupuncture almost 2 months now. My acupuncturist said I need 3-4 months of treatment to help my egg quality. Hopefully I'll get a this time and won't have to go back to IVF but if I do then I'm going to do it in August as that will be almost 4 months. I'm also takikng herbs that she prescribed for me. Fortunately my insurance pays for it and it's about $70 a visit. I go twice a week. I figure that since my insurance covers ZERO it won't hurt them to pay for my acupuncture!

Good luck and hope you have a successful IUI!!
