I’m in the stim phase and have been doing acupuncture every week. I’ll do another next week after retrieval to help calm the body. Then, we’ll set a schedule once we know if I’m doing another round of stims and retrieval or going to transfer. I’m 43, so my doctor advised that I should have at least 3 viable PGS tested embryos before we start transfer because my reserve will continue to diminish, so we need to give me the best chance of success and a possibility of more than 1 pregnancy.

I'm thinking of doing acupuncture for my next cycle before the transfer. I've done it before and I like it but I'm iffy with this new person I found. Shes charging $65 a session with insurance or discounted rates for cash and wants me to come in 2x a week up until the transfer. I'm not independently wealthy so it seems like a lot of money so I'm debating if it's worth it. Thoughts? 🤔

I am a bit fan of acupuncture—and I think that price seems reasonable. My acupuncturist recommends the following time frame per cycle - 1 session between day 1-4 (working on cleaning out the uterus and getting all old blood out)- 1 sessions between 5-11 (work on lining thickness)- a sessions within 24 hours of transfer - a session the right after transfer (moving blood and circulation towards the uterus and reduce stress)- a session 3 days post transfer (help with implantation)- a session day 7 (stress and wellness)It is ALOT but it has helped with stress and also has changed my pms and flow alot too!

Thanks for the breakdown! That seems a lot more helpful than a generic 2x week so I appreciate it.

No problem Whitney! Good luck and I always look at it as it can’t hurt ♥️

Nice! This is extremely helpful! Will start to get appointments soon! Thanks, Jessica
I am debating this very issue. Last embryo, so wanting to try everything possible. 🤷🏽♀️ can’t hurt! How often does one get acupuncture before/after transfer?

My deductible is super high for right now so basically paying out of pocket for everything. I may have to consider doing it. Maybe if I purchase a packaged plan, it wont be so bad. I like my person because she so close to my house but thanks for the recommendation!

My copay is still a little high for each session, but it’s worth it to me so I hope you enjoy it as well! I also saw in the counties post that you’re from Chicago as well! If you want to check out a different acu place in the city, I have a few recommendations.

The lady I'm going to said to go twice a week starting from day 1 of my cycle but I like how Sarah is doing hers better 😊
