in TTC after 35
Hi All,

I recently got married 5/17/2014;hubby and I have been seriously trying for 4 months now. I had one round of IUI with a BFN and just did my second round 11/8.  Hopefully it takes this time!! I heard acupuncture can help with IUI; anyone heard of this before?  Any advice is much appreciated.

    There are some on here that love acupuncture. I know nothing but wanted to say welcome!
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

    Welcome and good luck on your IUI! I am also 37, I did one round of IUI with no success. I was thinking of trying out acupuncture also when we start up IUIs again in January, if we don't get pregnant by then. It can't hurt, right?
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =)

    Yes I agree I may try the acupuncture.  I also have a small polyp; but my doctor wants us to remove it if the IUI doesn't work this round.  Really don't want to do that.

    Welcome to the board and good luck!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    Welcome - I'm also new here. No experience with IUI or acupuncture, although acupuncture can't hurt.... I start my 1 IUI cycle next month before I switch insurance and go to IVF in Jan.

    Welcome!  I found acupuncture very relaxing and enjoyed it, but I can't honestly say it did anything fertility wise.  Then again, I  gave it up when I started going to the RE, so before I ever had an IUI.
