Infertility

Acupunture Appt Set!

So since we are waiting 2 or so months to start IVF, I'm on a little kick to get myself as ready as I can. So I have an acupuncture consult/1st appt set for monday! I'm so excited to be getting things started.

Last night I had a mini meltdown about which dr to choose and if we should keep looking. I had a Resolve meeting and two girls were raving about this one dr, and apparently my old RE even went to him. But thank goodness for DH being decisive and getting me out of limbo. I couldn't do this without him. I just hate not having control. But we still need to talk about the dr we are going to pick.

I feel weird that I kind of want the dr people do not have a high opinion of. Makes me wonder if my decision is right. And I can't tell why I feel drawn to him because his personality was not better than the other.

Guess this was also a vent Embarrassed

     It sounds like you have a tough choice between Drs. I'm sure you and YH will make the right decision for you. The right decision for you doesn't always have to be the popular one!

  • Good luck with acupuncture.  I really enjoy it.

    I felt the same way as you between my IVF cycles - not doing anything and just waiting is hard for us control freaks.  At least acupuncture made me feel like I was doing something.

  • Thank you so much ladies! I love hearing that all of you have such good things to say about it. I just know I need help with relaxation and can't wait!

    I actually just set up an intro yoga class appointment too for Saturday. I swear I'll do anything! I figue one acu day, one yoga day and two spin classes should give me enough of a workout/evergy release/relaxation to get me to a better place.

    Can't wait to hear everyone's updates!
