Ivf to start in July at seacroft

[joannef]

Hello Ladies

I'm quite worried has anyone been at seacroft and did they pay to have the embryos watched.

How long should treatment take was it 4 weeks.

ladies who are having ivf how have the injections been? Are the side affects terrible? I hate needles....

Many thanks and good luck on this difficult journey everyone xxxx

Hi Joannef, this forum is really for any questions and discussion on the mind, body and overall wellbeing for fertility (natural or with treatment), on how to get yourself in to the optimal state mentally and physically. If you have any questions about that we would be very happy to answer them. x

Do you think acupuncure can boost my chances? Do you reccommend it when you are due to start ivf?

I do, I will let Andrew comment more specifically on acupuncture that is one of his areas of speciality. My wife and I both see it was an any important part of our journey and believed it helped tremendously. Anything you can do to help you mind and body being in the most optimal state can help the IVF be successful. I had treatment but when I was gripped with fear it undermined the treatment. Also be aware it is not what you do it is why you do it. If you do things because you think you 'should' or out of fear of not doing 'everything possible' then again it could undermine the good work of those actions and that mindset could do more damage than the benefit of doing those things. If it inspires you then do it. x
