Mass/Boston Area Question

in Trouble TTC
So i've been wanting to go to an acupuncturist for awhile (I am prone to migraines) and I have read how it can also help with IF. I am located in central Massachusetts and was wondering if anyone else is in the area and would have a recommendation for a place to go.

    Hi - I am in Boston and the acupuncturist I have seen is Lili Cai - she is at Harvard Vanguard Kenmore, and has a private practice - called the Domar group, or something like that.

    I have also heard Boston IVF has acupuncture, and someone told me about Center & Spring Acupuncture.  Granted these are all in Boston or JP but wanted to share the names.

    I would suggest asking your RE or even gynecologist for recs - just be sure they know you are looking for someone with fertility experience.

    I have gone 2x and so far not a fan - but most folks I know swear by it.

    Good luck!

    Good luck!  Hope it is more relaxing and effective for you than it has been for me thus far!
