I started acu after we had been seeing our specialist for 1.5 years. At that point we had been TTC 2.5 years and done 6 IUI, 3 IVF and 1 FET and I had NEVER been pregnant. In the second cycle with acupuncture and chinese herbs, we got a natural BFP. Unfortunately, it was a chem pg, but it was still the closest we had ever gotten!

I continued acu through IVF#4, but that cycle ended up being a disaster and we took a break from assisted TTC for a while. We started seeing a new FS soon after and he did a lap to check for endo (which I had been asking our first specialist about for 2 years and he had repeatedly refused to investigate - turns out I was right and I had severe endo). After the surgery, I started back at acu and we did our 5th IVF (1st with the new Dr) and that gave us DD. I continued the acu throughout the pg and had no complications (until DD flipped back to breech at 39wks), which was great since my medical history makes me high risk for pre-e and GD.

When we started TTC#2, I started back at acu. I was still BF DD, so we weren't planning on seeing the specialist any time soon. Once again, in the 2nd cycle of acu, we got a natural BFP. Unfortunately, again, it was a m/c.

Anyway, the short version of all of that is that we have spent over 5.5 years TTC now (3.5 years TTC#1 and now over 2 years TTC#2) and in that time I've had 3 BFPs. Every single BFP was from a cycle which included acupuncture (which I have been doing on and off since 2009). That's either a heck of a coincidence or the acu is helping...
