Whether it actually helps or just promotes relaxation, I was very lucky. I had acupuncture on the morning of my FET. We are now 24 weeks pregnant after years of infertility struggles.

[@InfertilityTV]

At this point, we know it doesn't help produce more pregnancies

[@crystalbee9706]

Exactly what I thought. Thank you

[@marias8132]

Hello,
I did acupunture before my egg transfer . It definitely helped me relax . I dont know if it helped the success of my transfer or not .

[@GROW_WITH_THE_FLOW]

what about if youre not using ivf/iui and trying naturally?

[@marzenaaneta7469]

for sure can help but is not quadrated positive results - for sure in 3rd transfer I had this treatment and I had implementation but miscarry in next 2 transfers i used acupuncture and nothing happen with the same - IVF is a roulette we can help but not 100% guaranteed

[@ifonlyunu994]

As someone who has been to multiple acupucturee clinics not all are equal.

[@InfertilityTV]

But none help improve IVF success

[@user-np6jq2fc1s]

I knew it! Can you do massage next? There’s “fertility massages” now that claim to increase blood flow and fertility. Is that true or is that a scam also?

[@InfertilityTV]

One of the biggest scams ever. Good idea for a video. Thanks!!

[@animalrescuer80]

I never did acupuncture and FET was successful. Urine Positive pregnancy test by day 3

[@brunildealbanese9419]

I never believed in it and decided not to waste my money. I read the literature.

[@seant6731]

So smart
