Acupuncture during IVF?

Did anyone do acupuncture during IVF?  If so, when did you go?  I'm gearing up for a FET the end of July.  When should I go?  Before and/or after the transfer?  Just curious what others physicians have recommended.  Thanks!
several failed cycles on clomid and lose dose injectibles, IUI #1 2009 - BFN IUI #2 2009 - BFP - boy/girl twins born at 31 weeks. IVF #1= BFN; FET #1 = c/p; FET #2 = c/p, FET #3 = negative, FET #4 = positive, baby stillborn at 24 weeks.

    i would go leading up to FET to help plump up lining and before and after transfer it you can work out times.

    acu is great, very relaxing.

    I went both before and after. If you can get it done right after the transfer that is what my acupuncturist says is the best and then again 48 hours after that. I did four round without acupuncture and then this last round I dove head first into it, before the transfer to plump up my lining, right after to help the embryo stick and then once a week thereafter to help prevent miscarriage. So far so good for me! Good luck!
