When you made your appointment did you just tell them that you were TTC or did you tell them when you got there? I am looking into this, but honestly don't know much about it. Anything you can tell me is much appreciated
I have made my first appointment. It's not until Monday. But I told her right up front that it was for fertility. She just asked a few questions about how long we've been TTC, etc.
I told my acupuncturist that I was TTC ahead of time. I brought in my charts for her to look at when I had my first appointment.
I am taking this cycle off, but I went 2-3 times per cycle the last couple of cycles. I can't afford to do more than that, so we work with what I can do.
I have my first consultation and acupuncture session this Saturday. I didn't mention that I'm hoping it will aid in my TTC process, but I was referred to this doctor by someone that went to him while she was getting pregnant (so I know he works with patients that are TTC). I also didn't mention it because i'm hoping it will also help with back pain. I assume I can explain all these things prior to my initial session (during my consultation) this weekend. We'll see!
9/2010: First visit to RE = CD3 b/w (normal); CD7 ultrasound (normal); DH's SA (normal but morph wasn't analyzed, so doc ordered a 2nd SA); Prog. supplements starting 3dpo for all future cycles
10/2010: SHG to check tubes (normal!) & DH's 2nd SA (normal)
2/2011: Start first Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI cycle = BFN
3/2011: IUI # 2 (Clomid + 50iu Follistim + Estradiol + IUI) = BFP!!!
Beta #1 (14 dpo)= 161
Beta #2 (17 dpo)= 518

Re: If you've had accupuncture, come in
I am part of an acupuncture for fertility study, so they definitely knew up front. I would tell them when you make your appointment.
