Hi @poupou
Definitely think practitioner makes a difference. If you're uncomfortable, it will likely make it harder to relax. Also not all practitioners have a specialism in fertility.
Methods overall are the same. I suppose it boils down to whether you're comfortable with the person. I found some practitioners a bit dismissive, or went in for the hard sell on, subsequent appointments, spin offs - Chinese medicine, supplements, signing up for associated food deliveries. Although I'm capable of saying no, it just makes me uncomfortable. In addition one practitioner was pretty heavy handed so in hindsight it hurt far more than it needed to - my legs are ridiculously sensitive.
I've found Paula a breath of fresh air. She is genuinely a lovely person, will make recommendations re supplements (she doesn't sell any so no gain to her) but doesn't push things.
I can't say it will definitely work but I have found sessions with her have really helped me de- stress at the very least - I suffer with headaches and she has definitely also helped with that.
Of 2 rounds of clomid and 1 round of ivf whilst seeing her, all three rounds were successful / resulted in pregnancies although things unfortunately haven't worked out. I've Genuinely no idea if it was the acupuncture, but i'm about to start another ivf round and will be going back to her.
