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.
Dx with severe endometriosis. DS#1 conceived with Met and TI. TTC#2 for 2.5 yrs. Dx 2nd IF. 4 clomid cycles, 2 IUIs, Finally IVF#1 w/ICSI worked for us! twins born 35w3d. Unexpected total hysterectomy 6/11. Now on the HRT train.
Re: acupuncture today. what to expect? (child in sig)
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
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!
6 IUIs,IVF #1 w/ICSI = BFP!
Betas, 332 & 856 = twins!
Our baby girl is here!
