April 11-2011, As always it was raining and on the way up to the doctors visit my husband says "Did you noticed that EVERY TIME we have an appointment it always rains?" "I wonder if thats a sign?"...So we get there and I have the joys of filling out some of the sign your life away paper again due to my insurance FINALLY changing my last name to Tucker. Thanks to Humana. They call us back and guess what. The socks on the stirrups have changed, they are now Easter and spring socks. We have gone through thanksgiving all they way to Easter. Thats alot of socks. As I am lying there and my friend and I meet again the doctor says "WOW, thats really nice!" My endometrium lining was THICK measuring at a little over a 7 so anything above a 6 is great. I ended up only producing one mature egg measuring 21mm on the new medicine. Shot Monday night Everything looks great and we begin our IUI on wednesday morning! CROSS EVERYTHING!........
So I also did acupuncture later that evening that was recommended by a friend. I was so nervous. After i got through the hour of talking about myself the lady that was doing my acupuncture stated that she was going to throw in the needles for anxiety cause she could feel alot of that going on. The first needles she places were in my ears. I didnt feel them at all. Then the next ones she placed in my hands on my legs and all in my feet. After she was finished she turned off all the lights and I just relaxed and feel asleep. After wards I felt so AMAZING like a huge amount of stress was lifted and nothing could make me worry. I have heard through many people that acupuncture works for infertility and it helps. Even if for some reason it doesnt work i feel alot better and not as stressed about anything.
(Here is a picture from my husbands cell phone you can see a needle or two)
It felt like a life like game of operation. I was waiting for your nose to light up red when she inserted the needles!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy your acupuncture experience was a positive one! I felt the same stress relief with my first visit. It was hard to describe. Good luck with the IUI tomorrow. It just takes one good egg and a thick lining. I had one good egg with my IUI and now we are expecting a little girl. I think out of all the IUIs done on the same day as mine the success rate was about 30%.
