Hi Ladies!

I've been away for a while (and haven't posted in forever!), but just read through and think I am caught up. I am a little rushed today, but wanted to let you all know I'm keeping tabs on everyone and have my fingers crossed for you all!

AFM, I'm on my 5th month of femara 2.5 (and second month of bravelle and ovidrel trigger). We opted not to do another IUI this month and are saving our pennies for IVF in March/April. I have my CD 10 follie check this afternoon after my first acupuncture appt. I'm a little nervous about it, and don't usually buy into the eastern medicine thing for some reason, but thought it couldn't hurt. And my clinic recommends it. Anyone else do acupuncture?

Good luck everyone!

s08 - I've done acupuncture a lot over the years and while it has always helped my cycle in one way or another, I've never gotten a bfp from it. Worth it if you can afford it though. I've always had to quit after some time because of cost. It's not painful at all, and very relaxing. Enjoy it!!

Just got done. My body felt really heavy during it, like I couldn't get up if I wanted to. Weird. Acupuncture is one thing my insurance does cover (if billed right), with only a $5 co-pay. They cover 20 massages a year too, so now I'm doing accupuncture and fertility massages to get me though the next phase...IVF. Insurance isn't so helpful for IVF, so I'm going to milk every dollar out of my insurance company I can in other ways!

 

[Cridge]

That sounds great s08!! Milk it girl!! I really do think that acupuncture helps with IVF. There are a lot of FS that recommend it around here - that can't be for nothin'.

neg beta. docs wants to do an us before starting another round of femara. however, he likes to start day 2... so timing is super goofy if i dont have a full period by tomorrow. timorrow as day 1 would work better for me though.. sigh, super down

 

[Cridge]

drsquid - did you get an actual number on your beta results? My result came in at a 3 from this morning. I'm only 9dpo, so it could be good news or not. Getting retested on monday.

Hello! I'm on day 10 PO today - it seems like there are a few of us right around here. I don't have any symptoms other than bronchitis, yes a strange symptom I know! My husband says I sound pregnant. I had almost forgotten but I got bronchitis when I was 3 months pregnant with my daughter and it did not go away until the day after she was born. So, hoping! Otherwise I am just annoyed to be coughing all the time, LOL. It's my anniversary today too

oh boy! I am having some cramp/presssure/pain that seems to come and go! I am actually 9 DPO.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I have been doing acupuncture on and off since last spring. I have definitely noticed that it has helped regulate my cycles when I have done it. Without acupuncture I ovulate anywhere from day 25 on or not at all. The months I did it regularly it moved up to day 17-19 so a big improvement. I believe it also helped me get pregnant twice, although I miscarried both times. So I guess you can say it has not really helped in my ultimate goal of delivering a healthy baby but it does seem to help regulate my cycles. The downside is that it is quite expensive, but I recently found someone who takes my insurance so I can go for just a copay (even though I do not have fertility coverage - it is billed as "irregular menstrual disorder").

Just jumped over to first trimester thread in hope of finding mrscompass there which I didn't ( if anyone has heard how she is going please let me know ) and it was such a big mistake. There is girls whinging about being sick and getting fat etc etc. Oh boo hoo poor you!!!! Sorry but I needed to vent....
