Hi BulieJ,

It is so upsetting to read that you're not having a good experience. I so agree with you that if it is not right for your head, then you have to change it. This cycle, DH and I threw everything up in the air as we were just having no success and finding that the more our FS put us in the hard basket, the less supportive she was. So we're at a new clinic, I even changed to a new acupuncturist. (I'm in Sydney so can't help there).

We did lots of research on the net and read their websites intently. We have chosen to go with an acupuncturist that has clinical research and studies on their website and just looks really professional. Luckily the staff are just as professional as their look and they really know their stuff. They specialise in IF and have a good programme. Instead of jumping into another acupuncturist, can you do the same kind of research on the net and see what is around? Can your clinic recommend anyone?

Acupuncture really helps me emotionally as much as physically and you have to be relaxed.

In fact, we were recommended a specialist for gyno problems about 2 years before starting fertility treatment. He was the leading guy in the area and we waited months to get it. But he was such a tool. I asked a question ahead of what he was saying and he reached over and slapped my hand and told me to wait!!!!!! Can you believe that???? So regardless of whether he had the knowledge, there was no way I was spending my hard earned money on such a wally!

I think with anything in this process, you have to be happy. Because goodness knows, there are so many other challenges we're up against.

All the very best to you.
