little help with acupuncture

I am looking into acupunture but not sure how to find one.  I don't want to just pick out of the phone book after all they are sticking pins into the skin.  How did you find your acupuncturist?  I have asked around but no one I know uses one. 

Married April 2010 TTC since ME 37 (DOR) DH 27 AMH 0.16 FSH fluctuation 30/6.2 SSH Clear Taking DHEA BCP 8/17/11 IVF #1 start 9/3/11 - Follistim (225),Lupron,and Lo dose HCG Converted to IUI only had 2 follies :( BFN BCP 9/28 IVF 1.2 start 10/11/11 - Follistim 450 + lo dose HCG
Converted to IUI only had 1 follie :( BFN BCP 11/3 IVF 1.3 start 11/13/11 - Follistim (300)+Menopur+Dexamethasome - Made it to ER:) but not ET:( embies stopped growing day 3 IVF#2 new RE Estrace 12/8 adding in Provera 12/23 until 1/1 menopur,follistim,dexamethasome,ganerelix ER scheduled for 1/17wewBFFN w We are pursuing donor egg. 8/20/12 Had hysteroscopy to remove polyp but found that i have a t shaped uterus. Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.

    Your RE's office might have referrals.  Or look at the websites of other REs in your area -- sometimes they list acupuncturists they work with.

    I did a search on google to search for a local area.

    My current acupuncturist was referred from some local nesties (who dealt with IF). Maybe your local board can help?

    I did a google search for acupunturist near in my area and did the research on their credentials.  I also got a positive referrel from 2 of my friends that also used acupunture for fertility.  The one I'm going to just does acupuncture for fertility.  Since she is specialized in fertility, it is nice to get a second opinion on what is specifically going on with my situation.

    We did the same, but she was booked to high heavens. After that we searched for infertility acupuncture and came up with ours. I have been really happy with her. She listens to me and really seems to look at the bigger picture. 

    Good luck!

    I asked my insurance co for a few referrals. Then I researched them online. I love my accupuncturist!

    My first one was affliated with my PCP's practice, but she went on maternity leave (yeah). Her replacement was TERRIBLE so my RE referrd me to the one I have now and I adore her. I did investigate her and a few others through my insurance company website first and she had rave reviews.

    I asked my RE if he had any recommendations.  That is how I found mine.  I only went for one month because I couldn't afford the treatments but wanted to weigh all options.

    Ask your RE.....they should be able to refer you.  I'd definitely try to find an acupunturist who specializes in IF.

    This. I found mine via google search but also had to use someone in my network so I could pay the co-pays.
