Acupuncture, IVF and herbs
For those who have had IVF, did you take herbs during your IVF cycle?
I will probably have IVF #2 next month. For IVF #1, I did acupuncture only and took herbs up until the cycle began. My RE at the time was adverse to herbs because she wasn't sure how they would interact with the IVF meds. I can understand that. For IVF #2, I'm still doing acupuncture. I'm just wondering whether or not I should use herbs.
I haven't spoken to my new RE about it yet. I have a feeling she will also prefer that I not take herbs.
Any thoughts?

I did acupuncture and took herbs for both IVFs. I stopped the herbs before retrieval. I am now in the 2ww and continue with acupuncture, but no herbs.

Yes, he didn't think there was a problem - he is pretty pro-holistic.
