Debbie, think about acupuncture

It might help with your aching legs, etc.  I had horrible knee pain from an accident years earlier--6 surgeries and developing osteoarthritis.  After two unsuccessful DE attempts, I'd read about increased successes with using acupuncture.

I found an acupunturist who had worked with infertile women before and decided that I needed to go and at least try it, so a few weeks before my only successful FET, I started going to see him.  I went daily for a while both before and after transfer.  I also arranged for a pre and post transfer treatment with another acupuncturist in the city where I was having my transfer.

I found I had a couple of interesting side effects from the acupuncture.  First, I was so much more relaxed for that transfer than any of the others.  Additionally, my knee which had caused inordinate pain in the past stopped hurting for over a year.  All during my pregnancy, not a hint of pain from that knee.

Don't know if you'd have the same kind of results with your legs, but it does help with the stress.

I definitely will look into it. How much does it cost usually?

Can't answer that question

It depends on the acupuncturist and where you live.  It's very variable.  I'd make certain that the person has experience with working with women with fertility issues.
