Suggestions for good practices during stims?

Hey Everyone, Just looking for some good practices I can put in place while stimming. I'm on Day 5, taking injection 5 tonight...so I'm a little behind on asking this, but I've been trying to drink lots of water, relax, etc... Anyone have any good suggestions from their RE, or things they've done that seemed to help encourage a good stimming cycle? I have 8 follies right now 3 on the right track size-wise...We upped my doses of Folistim, but looking for anything I can do on my end to help those lagging behind and maybe encourage a few extra to get moving. Thanks!!

*Siggy Warning*

    I am doing Accupuncture and listening to Circle Bloom meditations during this cycle. I'm not sure if its helping my follicles, but it definitely is helping with my stress. HTH!
