I hope it’s ok that I started this.
What is everyone up to today?
We have company in town, and we’re going horseback riding today! I love to ride, and I’m super excited about it.

Yesterday I started acupuncture to prepare for FET, has anyone have experience with this? Jealous of your pool time!! I would love to day drink and have pizza delivered poolside! I have never done acupuncture, but some others here have. Good luck with that! Are you watching The Bachelorette this season? |

After they put the needles in (which didn’t hurt) she put on heat and vibrations which was uncomfortable but not bad, just weird. I will continue once a week and probably do more the week of FET. I figure i might as well do anything I can to help!

bex15 I’m pretty sure I have read that it has been proven to increase chances of conception when using IVF specifically. Can’t hurt, might help! Did you go to one that specializes in infertility?

@bex15 I did a couple sessions before our last IUI, although I really didn’t start as far ahead of time as I should have. It obviously did not work for me, but I wish I could try it again for our FET.

bex15, I’ve been doing acupuncture since the beginning of April. I can’t say yet if it will help when we get to transfer after our donor cycle, but I have noticed that between the acupuncture treatments and the diet changes mine had me start, I’ve been feeling really good. My skin is clearer, I’ve lost some of the hormonal weight I gained on IVF, I have more energy in the mornings. My periods have also evened out a bit, now I have 4 days of fairly steady flow rather than 2 days where I go through 6 tampons and than it’s over.

bonzo can I ask what diet changes they suggested? I have a bunch of different handouts based on my TCM diagnoses, but the main one is I’m doing a modified alkaline diet. So, no dairy, no caffeine (not even the amounts in chocolate), no alcohol, no sugar (not even natural sugar, or fruit), no refined grains, no corn, no artificial ingredients, limited meat. |

So what can you eat bonzo? My RE’s nurse suggested the Mediterranean diet for me, so I’m curious what others are doing. |

So what can you eat bonzo ? My RE’s nurse suggested the Mediterranean diet for me, so I’m curious what others are doing. A lot of vegetables! I can do whole grains too, so brown or black rice instead of white rice; quinoa, etc. I’ve been using a lot of paleo/Whole 30 recipes as inspiration, but then where they do things like cauliflower rice I make brown rice or quinoa. I found an ancient grain pasta at Costco once that was really good, but I haven’t found it again. I have been working on eating healthy and avoiding additives for a while, so it isn’t too bad now that I’ve gotten the hang of it. A lot of label reading because so many things have corn or sugar! But I think it’s actually easier now than it would have been a few years ago, since intolerances are more understood now, and paleo is so trendy. |
