A different option...?

Has anyone ever had acupuncture done?  It's an idea that has been mentioned to us multiple times, but until lately we've never really given it much thought...  After just few minutes on good ol' Google I've discovered it seems to be a legitimate therapy for our situation...  But I'm still curious to talk to someone who has experienced it first hand...  It's not completely covered by our insurance, so it's not cheap... but still significantly less than IVF and may be a cure, instead of a temporary fix.  I'll post a few of the links that I've found on the subject- any opinions are more than appreciated!




Of course there's like, a million other articles... these are just the first few that I've come across... 

On a side note...  Since beginning his blog just a few months ago it's been brought to my attention that not everyone views IVF, or any fertility treatments, as the blessing that I do.  I've been surprised at the way people have reacted to our situation, and while I will always accept differing opinions, I do ask that some opinions be kept private.  This is a painful experience, and one that I don't expect everyone to understand, particularly if fertility is something you've never struggled with, please keep that in mind before you comment on our situation, whether that be in person or over the internet.

  1. I went to acupuncture a few times. It was nice and relaxing, but I have no idea if it helped or not. It didn't make me pregnant from the sessions I had, but that isn't to say it didn't help in the long run. Who knows.
    A very good friend from high school swears by it. She used it to help control her horrible periods, lengthen her follicular phase (she was ovulating on day 2 or 3), once she got pregnant it helped her stay pregnant (she had a previous miscarriage) and then during labor and delivery it helped control her pain.

    I really think it depends on yourself and the person you find to do the treatments. It doesn't hurt you in any case (except in the pocketbook, haha).
