This was my first full cycle doing acupuncture and while I Oed on my own on CD17 my LP seems to be a lot shorter. It's CD11 and I'm already spotting, which is a bit early for me, even for a non-medicated cycle.
I had the opposite happen to me... Acu helped lengthen my LP. But (and this is a big but!) I also started taking TCM herbs and B complex at the same time.
Are you on herbs too, or just acu? Are you taking any additional B vitamins?
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

I know its really important to tell your acu where you are in your cycle for this reason. Like Lynda mine was always longer with acu but she always spends a lot of time asking about my cycle so she can treat appropriately.
