What else to do?

Besides meds do any of you do acupuncture? Eat pineapple and avocado? Avoid caffeine? I drink one cup of coffee per day. I'm not giving it up. I drink wine occasionally up until ovulation. I don't do any thing else. I should lose 20 pounds.

    I do acupuncture with someone who specializes in fertility.  She gets most of her patients as referrals from my RE's clinic.  I started doing it right when I got my BFP with my DS (my only successful pregnancy).  I recently started up again and I'm hoping it helps.  If nothing else, it relaxes me and I look forward to it each week.  It is pricey, though, and my insurance doesn't cover it.

    I take vitamins c,e, and d per advice from my RE. Other than that I don't do anything special, just try to avoid processed foods and get enough protein, fruits and veggies. I also drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day and have a glass of wine or a beer occasionally. I'd like to try acupuncture I just need to find a good one in my area.

    I don't drink caffeine and limit my chocolate intake due to caffeine.  I also try to avoid processed foods and eat organic when possible. 

     I tried accupunture, but couldn't afford it along with IVF.

    I try to eat a low-glycemic diet and take b6 in addition to the prenatals, folic acid, dha, and extra calcium.

    Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
    18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!

    I tried the pineapple and it obviously didn't work for me. The only think I take are vitamins (Prenatal, Vitamin C, B12, B6, Zinc, and Magnesium)
