myturn, speaking from my own experience you will love the acu!! I just had a session earlier today to help post-transfer. Also have it leading up to transfer to help prepare the lining and encourage blood flow to the uterus.
Besides the physical side it also helps me de-stress, you will probably find it just makes you feel more chilled out, which can only be a positive
While doing my PhD I had weekly acu which helped me cope with the stress and not go insane!! It's also great for insomnia.
myturn - big hugs. i wish i had something comforting to say, but i think you hit the nail on the head - you just have to put one foot in front of the other. and repeat until you get there. i read about that acu trial, might look in to again myself, cant hurt right?
Acupuncture sounds interesting. Maybe in this cycle doesn't work I'll look into for the next. Anything is worth a try hey.
Sorry, just a quick one from me now, will come back and post properly and update the list after dinner, but just for a silly question.....
FET is scheduled for next Wed 20th. I have a hair appointment for the Sat 23rd. What do you girls think - do I cancel or go ahead with the cut and colour? I don't know what the rules or suggestions are on this. I cancelled my appointment last cycle and still got a BFN - just had more grey hairs to accompany my sadness. Lol.
i have no idea jane... i guess its the fumes you are worried about? could you plead with the hairdresser to squeeze in you this weekend (maybe pop a few tears out, tell them why etc?!)
more gentle for you Myturn. The Acu program sounds great! I'm thinking of getting it this cycle too Can only hope that you contribute a positive number to the study!
MissB yay for a new cycle hun, though I am sorry you're here again so soon. Let's hope the new dosage yields a better haul
Emma yay for jabbing and getting things moving! When is your scan to see how your follies are going?
Jane thanks for taking on the list, hope it brings you some luck very soon! One week til transfer, woohoo hope the side effects are lessening by now
MrsP Congrats on your PUPO-ness!
AFM I have been laying low so far, the FET cycle seems so uneventful. Just tablets and pessaries and waiting for transfer, which is on Monday the 18th yay Was cruising along, just taking my 6 x progynova, 2 x prednisolone plus a megafol and vitamin D each day. Then adding 1 x oestrogen pessary into the mix each night for the last 5 nights.
From today though I'm also doing 4 x P4 pessaries and 1 x combo pessary (feels like I'm spending all day medicating myself!) and BAM!! - I feel like a mood-swinging mofo! My temper is so short I'm snapping/yelling at my DS for the randomest/smallest things Is it the progesterone do you think?
Thinking I will do acu this time too, just need to get by bum into gear and book it in!
Myturn - big hugs from me as well... I'm sorry you feel so crappy... Acupuncture is awesome! I have been going about once a week for the last year! And my first time IVF I had it as well, once weekly, then just after embryo transfer and I fell pregnant (even though the end result wasn't quite what we wanted). Today I went back there and she will help me get my cycle back on track, so curious how soon the HCG will be out of my body!
Ree-Ree - that's sound like a hell of a lot of pessaries... Is that usual for an FET I wonder? I know it's your first one, but there are other people that have had FET's?
Jane - I don't know about colouring hair, but I know in general in pregnancy it can't hurt the baby.
AFM according to the acupuncturist I'm supposed to be day 6 now (counting D&C date as day 1) - so if you wouldn't mind updating that, Jane? I called the clinic today and booked in an appointment with the FS on Monday 25/6/12. According to the nurse I'll have to wait till HCG is out of my system, then wait a cycle and then we can start whatever we want to start. It doesn't sound like we can fit anything in before our trip to Europe in September, but we'll see.
