    Hi. I enjoy going to acupuncture weekly. I have been going since Sept to a Community Acupuncture Ctr. If they play music try to concentrate on that & it should help clear your mind. It has helped increase my lining and helped me relax through this process. I go weekly and then also one day during my clomid days, the day before follicle US, the day before IUI & 2 days after IUI (even if it falls within my normal scheduled time). My RE recommends going the day of both US & IUI but mine are always scheduled early in the morning so it's not possible.

    While I'm not going currently, I also go to community accupuncture. I found it beneficial to download a fertility meditation to my phone and stick my earbuds in. I was able to relax much deeper that way. If I wasn't in the mood to meditate I would just take earplugs with me as I'm very sensitive to noise. Hope you find it beneficial!

    i was just going to write a post about this. i go twice a week to a community acupuncture. i use circle + bloom ivf/iui meditations. they have 3 meditations for precycle. that's what i'm currently doing. i love it. it's relaxing. i had an ultrasound last week and my RE said my lining looked fantastic and the cyst on my ovary is gone. this is my first cycle of ivf so i'm not sure when i go in around retrieval and transfer.

    Yes, I did acupuncture prior to each of our successful conceptions. I was not receiving acupunture the times we conceived but miscarried. I truly think it helped to regulate my cycle & get my hormones in balance. I also took the prescribed Chinese herbs. Its expensive, but worth it.
