Greatr success so far, thanks to accupunture
Yes on the 13th Feb I made my first thread asking for success stories with acupuncture. Mine is not a complete success yet, but we are definitely on the right way.
Two years ago when we decided we wanted a baby we found out that my DH had slow and few coward sperms (less than 7 million) so we were sent directly to IVF-ISCI. Apparently it was only male factor and I was ok, but then it turned out that after two failed IVF-ISCI where we obtained very few (4) mature eggs my doctor told me that although I was young (31) my genetics were not good and thus although my follicles (15-17 in total, all over 18 mm) developed well and in good number after the extraction the result was very bad. He said he recommended donor eggs. I insisted  on trying once more and started with acupuncture. One month and a half laterI had my extraction on Monday. I had 11 mature eggs!!  7 have fertilized. We are going to try to let them develop to blastocysts to see if we have more chance. My doctor (whom I am not particularly fond off but which is the one my insurance pays for..) said he did not think acupuncture could do any good  . I am happy to say he WAS WRONG. I am now keeping my fingers crossed to see if I make it to the transfer, but still it has been definitely a great advance. I highly recommend it and hope to give you all good news in a couple of weeks.  Love Marta

hi Angie
Yes, I promise to keep you all updated. I am really excited. It is a pity in Spain (which is where I live) no one believed in accupunture related to fertility. I am so glad I know English and decided to do research on my own!
Good luck with your treatment too.  Take care Marta

Sorry, bad news
No luck this time
Anyway I am sure I will make it next. Will try with the 2 brozen blastos and if not will keep fighting until it takes to get what we deserve. Till then I have decided my life must not turn around infertility, and have decided to plan a trip to see my sister in Brussels and will start riding lessons, I have waited too long, time to take back the reins of my life. Kisses Marta
