I had acupuncture with my FET (not with my stim cycle). I had a session the week before my transfer, but that was to help with thickening my lining which was a problem at the time for me. On the day of my transfer I had a session in the morning prior to the transfer and in the afternoon after the transfer. From my understanding it is these 2 sessions (pre and post transfer) which are the important ones. These are the ones that they have done studies on that show an improvement in pregnancy rates.
I also had another session the week after my transfer to help with stress in the TWW.
Hope that it all goes well for you. At the very least I found that the acupuncture helped with my stress levels during that cycle... oh and by the way, that was the cycle that I got my BFP on!
i am 28 weeks preggo after 14 months on IVF. I had regular (about weekly) accupunture thruoghout my stim cycle, but what really work I think in my case was treatment THE afternoon after transfer and then 3-4 days when the embryo is trying to implant!! I had not tried this timing before and it was my ONLY embyro............and now a little baby inside me, and feel very blessed.
find someone who knows and understands female fertility, who listens. I was also given some chinese herbs to take (in pill form).
the VERY best of luck to you.
I also continued accuputure right though my first trimester.
