Default Re: Scheduled Acupuncture Consult

I did acupuncture. I started in early Jan. and cycled in April. I went once or twice a week. It was electro acupuncture. In the week before my transfer I didn't have any sessions because my acupuncturist was out sick.. I am not sure the acupuncture is what contributed to my BFP, but I did it this time, and I didn't last cycle (BFN) so my theory is, if it can't hurt, but it could help- try it.

I do want to agree with the poster that said that you might should wait to cycle again until your back pain is more bearable to cycle. Last cycle when I told the nurse I didn't want to take my pain meds after ER, she told me that pain causes your body to release stress hormone- cortisol. Here is a site that talks about cortisol's effects on fertility. Infertility
i know you don't want to have to wait, (I have been there, and it is frustrating... ), but it might be the best thing to do.

Whatever you decide- I wish the best of luck!
