I have notice a lot of posts lately regarding acupuncture and I am thinking about starting before our 2nd IVF cycle.  Anyone live in the Houston that can recommend someone?  I have also posted this on the local Houston board.

Thanks!

    I hope you don't mind me posting.

     

    I went to Chris Axelrad in the Post Oak area.  I don't know if it help my fertility, but I didn't want to leave out anything that could help.  Chris specializes in infertility and women's health and really understands IF treatments.

    Good luck!

    I don't mind you posting at all...I am happy I got at least one response.  Thanks for the name...  If you don't mind me asking how often did you go?  Did you go before ER and after ET?

    I went weekly pretty much while I was cycling.  I think the initial visit with a session was $125 and my sessions after that were around $75 (I usually bought a package).  I did go before ER and ET.

    He does also give a free consult appointment to go over how it works and such.

    If you do find one you like (Post Oak is sadly a little far for me), could you let me know? I'm not sure I'll try accupuncture this cycle, but if this cycle doesn't work we'll be throwing everything and the kitchen sink at it since it'll be our last chance for a year or two.

    I actually saw Chris, my acupuncturist, at an HFI event.  He is opening a second office in the Woodlands very soon (they are doing the build out right now).  I think he said he will be there 2 days a week.  I don't know if that location would be better for you.

    Good luck to both of you!
