Acupuncture and Ivf

[Linzih88]

Hi ladies was hoping for a little advice did to start Ivf feb 2015 and was wandering if anyone had Tried acupuncture and if this was effective? Thanks ladies xxx

I did it, though not on the cycle that worked.

It had worked really well for me though - very calming and relaxing.

Would also recommend hypnofertility.

Aww thanks for your reply :) if it helps with stress then I think I'll definatley give it a go as am sure you know Ttc and having the waiting game for Ivf is extremely stressful .ive never heard of hypnofertility what is it? Thanks lindsey x

It's hypnosis focusing on clearing negative thoughts relating to getting pregnant, staying pregnant and having a healthy outcome.

My hypo lady was wonderful.

Great for relaxing too.

Ooohhhhh tht sounds great I'll look into that as well I'll pretty much try anything to give me the best chance of having a positive outcome .. Thankyou for the advice :) have you had a successful Ivf ?

Yes! eventually
Good luck x

Awww that's brilliant great to hear success stories .. And Thankyou x

I've been seeing an acupuncturist alongside treatment for recurrent miscarriage (rather than ivf) and I have to say its been invaluable for sorting my cycle out after each mc, stress management and generally getting in tip-top shape.

What's worked really well has been going through the whole process with my acupuncturist and having a safe space to talk about how I'm feeling and have another person supporting me.

I'm now 11weeks into a pregnancy (fingers crossed) and acupuncture has made such a difference to how I felt going into it and how I've managed the anxiety of these early stages.

It's also helped with the nausea and constipation I always get in early pregnancy too.

Good luck x

Congratulations that's great news :) .. I really appreciate the advice I'll definatley go down this route , I'm extremely stressed and my cycles for the past 6 month have been all over the place infact this months a no show . So hopefully this will help me to get a bit of stability with my cycles . Thanks again for the advice and I hope everything goes great for you and bump x
