I am a 29 year old woman married to my best friend and love of my life. My husband is 39 and has been diagnosed w/ Male Factor Infertility. I have a diminished ovarian reserve (FSH levels 11.9 & 7.8 ). We have tried IUI's and are now on the path to IVF w/ ICSI. Our third attempt lead us to where we are now. We are now blessed with our miracle son. This is our journey.

Acupunture???


To acupunture or not to acupunture?

I am trying to decide what my "care and relaxation plan" will be.

There are things I definitely plan to do:

Yoga and meditation (a must for me)

What are people's thoughts on acupunture?

I am trying to determine whether or not I should get it since so many IF'ers seem to get acupunture.

I don't know if I'll like it. What's it like?

    I did it a few times before our egg retrieval. I thought it helped with stress, it was very relaxing.

    Thanks, Rach! I am definitely considering it. I do hear exactly that, that it can be relaxing. Hmmm, it can't hear, right? Or does it?

    I have been doing accupuncture on and off for about a year now. I love it! So relaxing. I would suggest going before just the ET appts that you likely hear about the most. If you like it great, if not then pass during the critical part of the cycle. Good luck!
