Accu before IUIs?

I know ladies get accupuncture before IVFs but what about before IUIs?  I thought I'd look into it but was wondering if anyone here has done this?  I haven't asked me RE yet but I will at my next appointment.

TIA!

    Yes.   I am actually going to acupuncture tonight before my IUI tomorrow.  My acupuncturist likes me to try and schedule the night before my IUI.  My DH also goes the night before the IUI.  His first SA he had borderline low motility at about 41%.  After the acupuncture appointment his sample for the IUI was over 100 million and 98% motility.

    I have gone once a week while ttc, including trying on our own, IUIs and an IVF.  I figure it certainly can't hurt and it just may help.  If anything, it helps to relax me and calm my fears.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    ditto. I have been going for 1 year...and made sure to go before/after IUI procedures. It makes me feel better that I am trying to do everything possible...and a good acu will help you with diet, supplements, etc. GL!!?
