I am interested in your opinions on what you think is reasonable with regard to the cost of alternative therapies. Basically after clomid I went to a naturopath that also does acupuncture as I thought this could be a good way of keeping my pms at bay while we wait to see the new FS next month.

She has put me on a few different vitamins and some chinese herbs for menstrual pains but the cost has been freaking me out

The first week was $190 being initial consult plus herbs, I thought fair enough that's a bit dearer than I thought but it was the first one. The second consult was $150 approx because she decided I needed herbs to get bowels working, but I ended up with diarreah so bad that I bleed from the rear. THen the third consult she decided I was about to run out of herbs so it was $150 as well :eek: so it will end up being about $600 per month if I keep this up. DH has gone slightly mad about it and thinks it is a rip off, considering we need IVF anyway.

Her big selling point is that she will help me improve the quality of my eggs for IVF? does this sound right to you all? Does anyone else see a naturopath and was it this expensive. I have seen others in the past and found them expensive but can't remember if they were this bad.
