We have 1 cycle of IUI left, I had my first acupuncture appointment this week and now I don't know whether to wait a couple of cycles to give that chance to work or just get on and do the IUI. AF started today so I need to decide whether to call the hospital on Monday Confused

There are a couple of cycle changes that might change through acupuncture like my cycle is a bit short normally 24-26 days. We have unexplained infertility, been TTC for 3 years

Hi rainbow,

We are currently just doing our last round of iui. I have been having Accupuncture for about two years now, our first iui worked but sadly ended in miscarriage, our second failed and I'm hoping this will be third time lucky!!!

I have been having Accupuncture through all if my iui cycles. I have found it very relaxing (which I think is part of the reason my first one worked) did your Accupuncture lady offer you any advice on whether to start your iui?

I don't think anyone can answer this question for you really, maybe you need to consider things like your age, waiting lists for IVF if it doesn't work and how long you are prepared to wait for Accupuncture to change your cycles.

Good luck xxx

Good luck with your 3rd try happilymarried

I did mention we were waiting to start our 3rd cycle but didn't ask if we should wait

I'm 33 so don't have loads of time.. I don't actually know how long the waiting list is for IVF.

Don't know enough to make a decision really!

Go with your gut feeling, I'm sure whatever decision you make will be the right one. Good luck to you too!
