First acu appointment today

CaroleeCarolee member
in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
It went well!  I really liked the Dr.  He gave me a book - The Infertility Cure - which seems to outline a lot of the TCM treatments for different diagnoses.  The treatment itself was awesome...it was incredibly relaxing and I am still feeling good from it hours later.  That in and of itself is worth it to me.  He seems to think I'll see benefits in 3-4 months, which is right around the time DH and I want to do our next IVF cycle.  Here's hoping this helps!

    I"m glad you enjoyed it!  I also find acu to be very beneficial.  Whether or not it's helping my TTC'ing I will continue to go just because of how great and energetic it makes me feel!  How often are you going?

     My acupuncturist gave me that same book - it's great. I've been going every week since last April, for more than infertility... I'm convinced it holds the answers, for me anyway. Good luck, and enjoy all the benefits!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I hated my first appt, but with our IVF cycle I made myself start going and I actually do enjoy it now-I feel so centered when I leave.

    I'm so glad it went well! I've been thinking about going, especially since the local clinic had a special.. $50 GC for $25. If I bought 2 of those it might cover a bit of the session. 

     

    I also have the Infertility Cure, just haven't picked it up to read yet. I should probably do that.

    I'll be going about once a week for at least 3-4 months before we try another IVF.
