To be honest Goldie, it's more been a change of attitude I think, combined with knowing exactly what to expect and feeling more in control. A lot of people do acupuncture and I did it for months before and during and a little time after my first IVF. Unlike a lot of folk I didn't find it relaxing ...I just would get bored! so I stopped, but I do attribute my cycle regulating prior to IVF to be down to acupuncture.

I'm definately more of a 'realist' although DH calls me a 'pessamist', and I tried to change that with cycles 2 and 3. By cycle 3 we knew what we wanted to do ie. start asap, so went on pill to bring on 2nd bleed, and grow embie to blasty for transfer this time. I rested a lot more after EPU and particularly ET. I tried to visualise more and I made sure we went away for a few days during 2ww .. which is when we got our first BT result. The sense of calm has pretty much remained with me...I would just like to see the no.s go up this arvo and we'll both be more content.

I certainly attribute my saneness to this wonderful website and the wonderful women who grace these pages. They've been there for me in my darkest times. Good luck for your next move
Hi Airline. Thanks for this. I have also been thinking of acupuncture.. just looking around for one now, will try anything, I keep my self healthy and excercise everyday, and I rested the whole 2ww.. Good emby's to blast etr. DH said ''its just not ment to be this time". We are off to see the OB who did my EC tomorrow, hes with the same FC,the OB we had last time has a long wait list, he is surposed to be the best, but I felt very rushed with him, and wasnt sure what to expect with our 1st time Ivf...

So, we shall see what tomorrow brings. Good luck too on your no's, may they go up & up. Im back to the LTTC for now, keep in touch
