Infertility

acupuncture today. what to expect? (child in sig)

I have my first acupuncture appointment tonight.  What can I expect?  Is it super painful?  You would think with all the needles in IVF that this would be no big deal, but I'm a little nervous.Embarrassed

  • I don't find it painful at all.  The worst is like a little prick.  I love going it is so relaxing.  Enjoy...

  • It's not painful at all.  (Says the pro who has gone all of two times herself!)  During my first appt we talked a little bit about why I was there, I asked any questions that I had, then he did the session.

    Wear loose clothing - he had me roll up my sleeves and pant legs, and also put a few in my belly.  I think I get about 12 needles or so - it didn't hurt putting them in - and they just feel like a little pressure. 

    I enjoyed it, and almost fell asleep both times - it's very relaxing.  GL!

  • The only time I felt a painful little prick was when she put a couple in my ears and the side of my toe.  Everything else was fine and pretty relaxing.
