How far into pregnancy did you stop acupuncture?

If you did acupuncture to help get pregnant how far into pregnancy did you continue with it or when were you advised to stop?  My acupuncturist said to continue weekly through about 9 weeks and then only need to come in for any symptoms that may come up.  Just curious about others

    Mine only saw me one more time after my FET and that was it. I could make an appointment if I was stressing, but she didn't see a reason I should keep coming unless to stress down. 
    I was supposed to see her two weeks ago to help me with my extreme morning sickness, but I ended up in the hospital instead (have hyperemesis gravidarum) was actually about to email her for a new appointment to help with morning sickness :smile:

    I was going weekly until about 9 weeks or so...I think he would have kept seeing me throughout, but it was getting a bit much (financially and to fit in my schedule). I didn't find it helped me that much with the nausea, so I wasn't really seeing the point anymore.

    The last time I went was the day of my transfer (March 4 ) just because things have been crazy and we bought a house and are trying to save some money . I'm going back next week , though , to hopefully get some help with my nausea and extreme tiredness . But those are just normal parts of pregnancy so I'm not sure it's worth it ! I do want to go to tell my acupuncture guy that I'm pregnant ! I'll be 10 weeks next week !

    The last time I went was the day of my transfer. My acupuncturist does not like to do during the first trimester. I have not yet decided if I'm going to continue in the second or third trimester.

    I'm still doing it every 2-4 weeks.  I went weekly through my first trimester and I had almost zero morning sickness.  I'm not sure if it was the acupuncture or just luck, but I was SO SICK with my daughter and to have nothing with this pregnancy (twins), seems like more than luck...
