Acupuncture

Last Friday (10/25) I had my first ever acupuncture treatment. It was flippin amazing :) She (the acupuncturist) spent so much time getting to know what I wanted the acupuncture to do, and about other parts of my health/life history that could shed light on my uterus. She put me at ease, was just that type of person. So warm and confident. So what does acupuncture feel like? Some needles I could feel and some I did not feel at all. None of them hurt. Then as time passed, I felt warm and heavy and completely relaxed. I felt calm and at peace, and let go of all my worries. I still feel that way! :) Very Zen!! She gave me a list of food that would help my blood circulation and foods to avoid. Not necessarily specific food, but groups. Like protein is good, avoid too much cold food or raw salads. Cook grains thoroughly for easy digestion. She suggested two chinese herbs to try that she thinks would really help, but I am not ready to approach the RE with those yet, and we only have 9-16 days until transfer anyway, not much time for them to take affect. So if we have to cycle again, I will bring those up. She said definitely yoga could help. I tried to eat pineapple core on saturday, but only managed two small pieces. Its tough. And not very flavorful. I did drink most of the juice from it, for whatever good that could do :) One of the IM's from my cycle group on SMO suggested Vitamin E, which I have emailed the NC to ask about. AND she just emailed me back, that it is fine to add Vit E. I feel like I am giving her all she's got right now. I know I could try the herbs and maybe other stuff, but I'm feeling quite full with what I'm doing :) I have not emailed with A & R in a few weeks, but feel ok with that. We all know we are all busy :) Getting really close now. We should hear friday or monday when the retrieval will be, and therefore when the transfer *should* be, but definitely what days we need to fly out. EEK! YAY!!
