Laliek, please keep me in the loop on how the acupuncture goes. Will be great to hear what they do and say!

I am still waiting to find out if DH is gonna go to Kenya, cause then I will be away next week with my parents, so can't make any appoinments! That is why I pushed my FS that I see him today, as I can't take off work on friday and might be out of town next week!

Ika and Hayley - same for me - money not too good right now either so I'm goign to try Dr Wolf and let you girls know ;-)

Ika I actually phoned and I've got an appointment with her next week Wednesday. There's no cost in follow up visits apparently, only the R150 for follow up accupuncture. I want to start asap as I'm starting my gym routine and everything next week so will be nice to do that while I gym and then try and do it for two months or so before we do third IUI. I'm not going to do the accupuncture in hope of a BFP but to prepare my body for that 3rd IUI with all the injectables etc that's going to come with it so that I'm hopefully prepared for it all and in better shape by then!

Ika - it's just one hell of a questionaire that you have to complete!!! Jeepers they want to know everything lol!

Hayley - you'll get your BFP hun! And thanks for bringing up your accupuncture journey as that inspired me to start looking at it as well!

Ika, we all will get our BFP'S look at H-buzz, think she went for 3 sessions and she's now sitting with her BFP... But she also said she is not sure if it was cos of the acupunture.. :)

And the nice thing is, my Homeopath mentioned you can go anytime in your cycle... Dont need to have it done in a specific time in your cycle...

So to Ika & Laliek, this is a new adventure for us.. :woohoo: But the thought kinda puts me off.. :S

MY FS also said it had a high sucess rate.

Sounds positive, I just need to work out if I should go to the one closer at home or the one closer at the office? I work Monday, Wednessday and friday from the office, but don't even take lunch. And on Tuesdays and thursday I wokr from hom, more relaxed. Sooooo for me this will depened on the cost and then on which days they need to see you? If they say it is just once a week then I think I should go to Wolf? uuummmm? So then it would be this month R820.

Haley: So you me and laliek will start sometime hoefully this month and then if we get BFP's then we know!

Hello ladies...

Laliek & Ika, sorry to hear about your blood results... Some day soon you will have your babies.. :)

Laliek, im almost sure you asked me when im starting the acupunture, i will start at the end of the month when there is money.. :)

Going to do it though my Homeopath and he charges R210.00 per session, which is'nt that bad.. Looking forward to it..

My Homeopath told me it's 80% success rate when TTC.. :)

That is a huge price difference!

What does Dr Stavrou ask for follow up visits?

But I think it is worth going! Do you think you will have to go certain times of the month or should you go at least just once a week.

My Bank balance is not looking to healthy any more so think I need to focus on price as well.

Ika, I was nosey and actually just phoned!

Dr Stavrou asks R680 for a consultation fee...eeeekkk. But I believe this guy is brilliant so it might just be worth it!

I just got an email from Dr Wolf - it's a she apparently LOL! Anway, she asks R370 initial consultation and then R150 for follow up accupuncture treatments!
