Nice to meet you, my name is Ambyr 
I'm so sorry that happened on ET. Does your doctor give you Valium? I heard it really helps you relax and not focus on the pain.
My doctor had some difficulties with me on one of my pre-screening tests cause my cervix faces a weird direction so I know how painful it can be when they're poking around. I'm glad they are doing a trial transfer for you on this next one.
My RE is a big believer in acupuncture. He and the acupuncturist have done studies together over the past 10 years and have found a 26% increase in pregnancy rates as well as better egg quality. I definitely recommend looking into it but make sure you go to a fertility acupuncturist. I recommend going to East Winds Acupuncture and take a look around. She has a lot of info on there on how acupuncture can help you.
I can't wait to get this cycle started! Let's get  !!!
