Acupuncture/pcos/endometriosis

Hi everyone,

My husband and I haven't been very successful in convincing the stork into brining us a little one..its been 8 yrs since we tried going through infertility.  They got me to ovulate with a very low dose of clomid even though I wasn't having my cycles due to pcos. Before the treatment, they did a dye test to see if my tubes were open,  my left opened up just fine, but my right wouldn't.  Even tho I dropped an egg it was of course on the right and I didn't get pregnant.

We decided to give this another shot since now my cycles have been coming much more regularly.  I have one every month. Now another issue may be presenting itself. It's suspected that I also have endometriosis.  Perhaps that is why my right tube didn't open during the dye test. It remains unconfirmed until I do laprascopy.  Unfortunately, my wonderful insurance won't clear the blockages in my tubes if they find any and if I do, I have to have their infertility dept do the surgery.  I was told to choose my fertility or being in pain. This news has prompted me to look into acupuncture.  I was curious, has anyone had any success with it? If you did, we're you experiencing my symptoms? I need some advice...This is just so confusing and frustrating.  Thanks!

I also have pcos and endometriosis. I found an otc enzyme called endovan which cleared up my endo symptoms without having any surgery. I stopped taking it when we started trying for a baby. I had to take a low dose of clomid also to make me ovulate and I got pregnant the first round. I'm 36 years old and 21 weeks into my first pregnancy. Good luck to you.
