I do acupuncture to help me feel as though I'm doing everything possible - especially around transfer time and love it.

Acupunture, there is data showing it's usefulness if you have or don't have IF issues personally, but truthfully, I dont know just how much it helps. Everyone seems to have different opinions, but all agree it doesn't hurt. Just because you had two opportunities to try, doesn't take away from the 4 year wait. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412560432257479577.post-550097341558861922011-10-20T16:53:54.202-04:002011-10-20T16:53:54.202-04:00There are actual studies that have been done to se...There are actual studies that have been done to see if acupuncture helps with IVF. The results show that it does positively impact your success rates. If you want to look up the actual studies, look on Google Scholar. If you just Google search you get bulletin boards and various anecdotal sites, but on Scholar you can get the actual peer reviewed publications. Hope that helps a bit.Lissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988868211365913029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412560432257479577.post-32491536959496349722011-10-20T12:14:06.642-04:002011-10-20T12:14:06.642-04:00I've heard wonderful things about adding acupu...I've heard wonderful things about adding acupuncture to the IVF process, regardless of the infertility cause. I would deffinetly give it a go! Not sure about deep tissue massage, but it sounds wonderful:) I am so sorry this 2nd round didn't work out, maybe your body will respond better to FET? I did the math on ttc as well for me a while back and discovered that over 3 years, I've only ovulated for sure one time, so its not like 12 tries for us each year either. It sucks, but it doesn't diminish your struggle in anyway, You are right that it takes more shots than that on average to get pregnant, so hang in there and hopefully 3rd time is a charm.

My DR said anything that increases blood flow will help with implantation. My first appt is Tuesday and they will be giving me herbs then also. I can let you know what they give me next week. We have unexplained infertility but I figure I will try anything. I also signed up for a few massages just because getting the negative test was so devastating. I want to be completely relaxed going in to the next round. GL with what you decide!! :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345833843263289582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412560432257479577.post-21591040975548724142011-10-19T21:33:10.758-04:002011-10-19T21:33:10.758-04:00Hi there...new follower here.
