Acupuncture for Infertility

I'm wondering if anyone has does acupuncture treatments to treat infertility. I have read some studies and they seem to be promising. My husband and I have been trying for baby number 2 for 15 months. During that time we've done pretty much every type of infertility treatment - clomid, inseminations, shots, etc. and have had no luck. Our only other option at this point is invitro, and I'm not ready to do that yet. I'd love to hear from you if you've tried acupuncture and if you've been successful or not. Does anyone have any...

Secondary Infertility- Help!!!!

I have been trying to get pregnant for 15 months now and can't seem to conceive. I have a 4 year old son and had absolutely no trouble at all getting pregnant with him. We haven't tried any infertility procedures, but we have tried acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and supplements. I check my Basal body temperature every morning, and have already seen my OB/Gyn twice in the last 6 months. He wants to try clomid or something more severe soon. Can someone out there give me some suggestions? Did anything work for you that was out of the norm?

Endometriosis and Fertility

My question is does anybody out there have endometriosis, and what has trying to get pregnant been like for you?

I know years ago one of my doctors said that there is no way to tell, for me, if it will be hard or easy. He said I have a lot of scar tissue from the endometriosis, so he said until I try there is no way to tell. Is this true? Just wondering...

Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Firboid history: I was very sick and had to have an emergency myomectomy back in 2001 to remove 8 fibroids that were located outside of my uterus. They grew back and were bothering me by 2005. In 2005, the tumors were located on the outside of my uterus and inside the uterine wall. We had to rush to the fertility doctor to try to get pregnant before the tumors got worse. We got pregnant with a double-IUI in November 2005, and I had my daughter August 2006. The tumors are now back with a vegence . . . my ultrasound report shows that I...
