Acupuncture in TWW

[Lilacfi]

Hi all,

We have our 2nd FET on Friday. I’m having acupuncture before and after the transfer. Does anyone know if it’s beneficial to keep having acupuncture during the TWW?

Accupuncture is great for stress relief and maintaining calm. Your acupuncturist should be able to advise best on this. I had in in my TWW but it was very subtle.

hello! I didn’t have acupuncture in my Tww, but I think it’s a personal choice. If it keeps you calm and you feel like you want/need it, go for it. If you feel content just having it around transfer, then that’s perfect for you.

It is thought to help you keep calm and relaxed through the stress of the 2 WW And at this time of year it will be like a wee oasis of calmness .Make sure have healthy diet and drink plenty of fluids Continue with any meds as directed

Sending good luck wishes

I’ve had it before and after transfers in the past but not during the TWW but your Accupuncturist should be able to advise. I’m not sure they tend to work on the lower abdomen during TWW but I guess if you’re anxious they could focus on other areas of the mind. TWW is a stressful time and what helped me was slowing down a bit, eating healthily especially upping protein, keeping fluids up and enjoy what you normally like to do to help pass the time. Best of luck! X

My acupuncturist recommend the day before or 2 before transfer, the day after transfer and 5 days later then said whatever I felt I needed for stress and symptom management.

Currently 11 weeks pregnant and have had a few more sessions after that.

Wishing you all the best.

I had acupuncture the day before, day of and 5 days after transfer and found it helped. It's a personal thing tbh. Mine really calmed me.

My accupuncturist said i could have it for stress relief but it would be adapted. I got it day before transfer.
