Nix, Congratulations! What a fantastic early Xmas present, hey? Well done

Juniper, sorry to hear that your transfer was cancelled. I would be really interested to hear how your DH goes with acupuncture and sperm issues. My partner had a vasectomy reversal about 2 years ago, after having had a snip for about 7 years. His sperm was a problem, hence why we had to do IUI and then IVF. We've been seeing a naturopath for about four months now, and after only 2 months of him taking this tonic and other pills, his sperm count (motility, morphology and volume) is absolutely normal and our FS said we could conceive naturally if we wanted! I am seeing an acupuncturist early in the new year to see if it can help with implantation for me, and also to regulate my cycle/hormones. I figure it can't hurt ... She wants me to do a 6-week detox before our next transfer but we're on hols for 2 weeks in mid-Jan, so we will do a 4-week detox. I don't know all that it involves yet, but it's definitely no alcohol, no caffeine and no smokes. I don't smoke so that one's easy, but the other two will be more difficult

Trubabe - Big hug to you because you sound like you're going through hell at the moment, and it's the last thing you need midway through a cycle. FX for your mum when she sees the specialist next year.

Murraycod - Good luck for your first IVF cycle!

AFM, I am enjoying the silly season a little too much, but I figure if I've got to detox next year I may as well make sure I need it I've got to get 12 vials of blood taken for BTs but I've put it off till next year as I can't face doing it at the moment.

I hope everyone has done their Xmas shopping and is getting ready for Xmas! Only 4 sleeps to go ...
