Yes! According to my brother I am a hippy, because I tried acupuncture! I know it was a light hearted joke and he really didn't mean any harm by it. BUT can I please get some support for my reasons of doing it, I'm honestly not doing it for sh!ts and giggles, there is a good reason why I am doing it, it's cheaper than the alternative.
Other than being a so called hippy (trust me I really am not that hippy like) I didn't love the first session, I guess it was because I really had no idea what to expect from it, I couldn't find the stupid place AND I had no coins for parking so had to park illegally and was bl@@dy stressed about getting a parking fine. I am going back in two weeks so we will see how it goes.
I was talking to another "hippy" friend today (she went to the same FS as us) & *gasp* the same acupuncturist and is now about 20 weeks pregnant, she made me feel good about it, because she is 41 pregnant with her first and had endo and had to have an ovary removed because of it in February. So her motto is if she can get pregnant I can get pregnant. I hope she is right.

On the infertility board I have been going to since starting out with IVF a lot lot lot of women have been using Acu, and getting some fab results. I believe some research took place in Germany about the effects of Acu on IVF cycles and it was very positive, so I say GO for it!
The first time I did acupuncture, I was a bit apprehensive too. Didn't know what to expect. Anyway, I've been trying for almost 2 months now. To me, there really isn't anything much to lose by trying, yes, cheaper alternative, as you say it, to complement whatever infertility treatments you're doing. So, I'm here for ya!!
Positive stories are always good stories. It sound like your brother has his head in the sand if he thinks you are a hippy!!!
I hope you have a success story to share with your friend too.
