so you will want to start way b4 you want it to "work" they want to prep and make your uterus friendly but they also work on making your follies grow and take the meds better.... or so they say.... i think aching did accupunture each time they did IVF. I dont knwo when she started tho.

Kanetra,

I did accupuncture for about 2 years during the whole IVF process. My DH also did it. We both went 1 time a week. I also did it the morning of the transfers & after the transfers in the dr. office...Good luck!

Acupuncture is a process oriented modality and therefore, the more treatmenst you receive before ET, the better. I typcially treat patients twice weekly for several months pre ET.
