Stick a needle in me........

So...tomorrow is my first acupuncture appointment. Fun.

LOL...actually I have done acupuncture before and I have to be honest, I found it to be very relaxing. Plus, right after my acupuncture appointments, I got a 30 minute massage. And I was going for acupuncture 3 times a week! Go me!! Upside to infertility? Hey...I have to at least try to convince myself that there is an upside.

From what I have read, research has shown that acupuncture raised the odds of achieving pregnancy through IVF by about 65 percent. Acupuncture's circulation-stimulating effects could help elevate blood flow to the uterus, which creates a more welcoming environment for the embryo and the therapy is also thought to lessen uterine contractions and regulate stress hormones to levels found in healthy pregnancy cycles.

I have also known some women who went through a few unsuccessful IVF cycles then did acupuncture and were successful. All of them also had twins or triplets. Hmmmm....on second thought....LOL!
