Lasar Acupuncture - FET

So I'm a really sketical person and I've become SO ambivalent/negative about my upcoming FET (12/5) Lasar acupuncture before and after the Transfer is offered through my RE. What is your take on this? I have friends who have participated in acupuncture - resulting in both BFP's and BFN's. The lasar acupuncture would cost about 200 OOP. DH is adamant about me giving it some serious consideration. Any thoughts?
Me: 31, Dx: Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, Elevated AMH of 18 DH: 34 & borderline morphology issues IUI#1/cycle with Menopur & Novarel = Mild OHSS & BFN IUI#2/cycle with Menopur & Novarel = BFN IVF#1 converted to FET due to moderate OHSS 21 eggs retrieved, 12 mature, 11 fertilized 7 frosties, 6 genetically normal December 5th FET with one perfect blast = BFN FET #2 = early February

    We are declining. We feel its just a money-maker. They handed me the brochure at my ER wanting me to do it at my ET. So many of my friends had successful IVFs and IUIs without this.

    Its acupuncture without the needles and when they dont actually touch you, they use lasers. Its $200 per session at my place too- oh, I see you are from NJ- are you with RMA too?

    I did this with my last fresh cycle (IVF 2) and we got a BFP.

    Here is a link to the clinic I go to - it has a lot of good info on this topic. https://www.acubalance.ca/infertility-study-confirms-laser-acupuncture-improves-ivf-pregnancy-rates

    I love my reg acupuncture, so I might be tempted to try the laser acupuncture!

    They tried to sell it to me too I still don't know how I feel about it they said it helps 5% not sure if that translates to $200.  We all are willing to try anything and I have tried a lot of different stuff but I think I may need to draw the line here.  Maybe for another time not the first.
