Hi Renee- I tried Acupucture with my first cycle because I read everywhere that it increases your odds of conceiving. My cycle didn't work this time although I still believe that Acupuncture does help people conceive. I think next time I would try someone with more years of experience. My office recommended the woman I used, but on the day of my transfer when they come to the clinic another woman came who had only one year of experience. I didn't feel that she had the same confidence level in what she was doing at all. Anyway, I think the key is choosing someone with years of experience in infertility.

Also about your back pain. I wanted to tell you that my friend has had chronic back pain since a car accident years ago. She has tried EVERYTHING from chiropractic to pain meds. She finally decided to try Acupuncture for the pain and after a few sessions was feeling so much better. Today she is just about painfree with a little pain that comes with stress. She now swears by Acupuncture and the man she uses who has many years of experience. I will probably try him with my next cycle. She said that he adds in massage after the needles! She loves going every week!
So whatever you decide I hope this helps. I am sorry you are in pain and dealing with everything else. You also have to think about the wieght that will be on your back when you get pregnant. You don't want to be walking around in pain throughout your whole pregnancy.
Good Luck!!!!!! I hope you feel better soon!
