Smile Yipiiiiii yeahhhh, my two great blastos (and a question)

are now with me and I have even been able to freeze 2 more!
All thanks to acupunture! it has definetely changed my way of looking at medicine.
Only one question.

Should I continue with acupunture now. I mean, AFTER the transfer. I understand it is not dangerous, but just in case I though I'd ask.

Do you get your needles in the same places?

Thanks all for your help! You're the best!

Marta

Question Up!

No one knows? No one can tell me if I should keep having acupuncture? (I had my transfer on Friday)

Thanks for you help!

Marta

Congratulations! I continued with weekly acupuncture treatments and still continue even though we received a BFN.

The acupuncture will help with blood flow to your uterus which is very important for implantation. Also, it will keep you relaxed during your 2ww!

Acupuncture is wonderful. Although this cycle was unsuccessful, it was still my best cycle (response, stress level, etc) to date. After our BFN it is helping me with my emotions, the hormones and is "de-toxifying" my body in order to prepare for the possibility of a next time.

Good luck to you!

YES! continue with acupuncture! My acupuncturist recommends once weekly, AND also right before and after transfer. Keep going, it is good for you in so many ways.

Unhappy 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
