Acupuncture

[Gillyc1]

Well my daughter started her acupuncture last night ready for another ivf cycle at the end of November. She went home feeling very positive about it so fingers crossed it helps her. Any positive stories about acupuncture xx

I've had acupuncture for both cycles. BFP on second cycle. If anything it made me feel more calm and relaxed going through the ivf process. Wishing your daughter the very best of luck.

Also while having acupuncture I listened to the zita west ivf meditation cd.

Congratulations on your BFP. Where did you get the cd from xx

[C_L_A_I_R_E in reply to Gillyc1]

You can download it from iTunes. You will need to email zita west for the diagram of the acupuncture points. That's what I did because it asks you to visualise the acupressure points on your body.

I had acupuncture for my last IVF and FET cycles - I didn't get a BFP on either but the acupuncture definitely helped me relax. I look forward to my weekly sessions and plan to keep having it. Good luck to your daughter xx

Thankyou. So sorry it didn’t work for you. She is having it to help with her oestrogen levels and follicles as her cycle was cancelled last week because she is having problems with both. Also, she suffers with anxiety so hoping it helps that as well xx

I had acupuncture both cycles I had but I changed my acupuncturist on the second cycle and got bfp, I still have it now to keep me relaxed during pregnancy. It's definitely helped & I only have 11 weeks left till due date now x

That’s brilliant news for you xxxx

I’ve been having acupuncture for the last few weeks on the build up to my second ivf cycle beginning mid November (my first cycle got cancelled half way through due to poor response).

I’ve definitely found that it’s helped me relax and helped with my anxiety.

I’ve also downloaded a mindful ivf app on my phone which helps you to relax and get your mind and body ready for ivf.

So hope your daughters next cycle gets her that bfp!

Xx

That’s exactly why hers was cancelled. She was devastated. You will have to let me know how you respond next time . Good luck xx

Thank you so much Gilly.

I’m trying to keep a really positive outlook on it all for this cycle. So my thought process is - give as good as you get, try anything, it can only help me out in the long run.

I’m also starting to do some yoga and meditation, and generally trying to look after myself a little more (not normally very good at it ☺️)

Please keep me posted on how your daughter gets on. Xx

[Gillyc1 in reply to ChloBo84]

Will do. She is having a month off because she is a bridesmaid in November. Her AF is due the end of November so it all starts again. Hopefully we will gave a fantastic xmas with some great news . Fingers crossed xx

I'm on my second round of ivf now & this time I am doing acupuncture. I have found so far that it has helped wonders with my anxiety & helps remove any pain I might get from time to time. Think it's great she is doing it. Good luck to her x

That’s brilliant it’s helping you . I’m so hoping it helps my daughter as well xx
