It went well! I really liked the Dr. He gave me a book - The Infertility Cure - which seems to outline a lot of the TCM treatments for different diagnoses. The treatment itself was awesome...it was incredibly relaxing and I am still feeling good from it hours later. That in and of itself is worth it to me. He seems to think I'll see benefits in 3-4 months, which is right around the time DH and I want to do our next IVF cycle. Here's hoping this helps!

My acupuncturist gave me that same book - it's great. I've been going every week since last April, for more than infertility... I'm convinced it holds the answers, for me anyway. Good luck, and enjoy all the benefits!

I'm so glad it went well! I've been thinking about going, especially since the local clinic had a special.. $50 GC for $25. If I bought 2 of those it might cover a bit of the session.
I also have the Infertility Cure, just haven't picked it up to read yet. I should probably do that.
