Hi-
Sorry i never answered ur acu questions, so here they are
I have done acu for over a yr at this point. I started before my 1st IVF, and then continued 1x a week until I cycled again. Now i am averaging 2-3x a wk. The 3rd time a week is bc i didn't respond.
My clinic is neutral on acu....but i am a believer in it. I did get preg on my 1st IVF, and i think it helped. I find it relaxes me as well.
As for the electro acu, i only did it bc i had really NO response to meds until my 7th day of stims. So the acu recommended it. It isn't painful...but it is awkward. The needles are hooked up to a machine, and are shaking for about 45 mins. It moves a lot of stuff around, so ur belly can get sore after it. Also I have lots of injection bruises in the area too.
GL!!!!!
