The very first myth makes no sense. No doctor would ever start IVF before ALL the testing was done! Silly to advise women to have testing done that is always done before IVF is offered.

When my husband and I were diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" we didn't know what to do. We couldn't afford IVF and technically there was nothing wrong. After 3 years of trying, 4 weeks into acupuncture I was pregnant!I know of many others with success stories too.
