I notice in your siggy that you do (or did) acupuncture. I am thinking of starting acupuncture to help dissolve the clot that I developed back in September, and would love some details/encouragement on your experience with it!
TIA!

Hi there! I can't recommend acu enough. I did it 6 weeks prior to and during my second shot at IVF. I had started acu before finding out about my clotting disorder, so I didn't do it for that reason...I don't know if acu is what helped (it was also my first cycle on Lovenox). I've heard it helps with clotting disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss though (depending on the Dx).
Either way, it was wonderful for my mental health...it was an extremely difficult period of time in my life and acu helped center me.
Best of luck! I say give it a try and see if you like it.
