Hi Renee, I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain....

I wanted to pop in because although I'm not doing IVF yet, I kind of have the same problem. I was diagnosed w/ Fibromyalgia 8 yrs ago and have been in a "flare up" for months now. I've also had back/neck pain off and on d/t car accidents. I was on some medication that had worked in the past but now it doesn't do much. I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking it's because of chemical changes in my body from having 3 mc last year. (?) Anyway, I have since started with a new dr, new meds and I'm talking with my chiropractor about adjustments and accupuncture. I forgot to ask the RE's opinion on whether or not it's ok, but they're calling me back on Tuesday as my nurse is out till then.

I really think you should get the pain straightened out prior to doing the next cycle. As much as I would hate to push it back, I'm almost positive you would have better luck if you were pain free. I keep worrying about getting my problem under control this summer, b/c of what we hear about ttc and high levels of stress. And I'm sure that amount of back pain qualifies!

Please come back and let us know how it's working for you. If cost weren't such a big issue right now, I'd be doing it now. But I plan to do it in the future, and I would love to hear your opinions on the outcome.

Take care of yourself and keep us posted!
