Acupuncture

After taking a road trip its back to IVF. This past week has been tough my hormones have been all over the place. I have been having alot of headaches and Tuesday I had alot of pain in my stomach. After going to the Dr on Wednesday, I was told I had cyst on both sides that had ruptured. That explained the pain. My bloodwork came back fine and Janet told me to start my shots of Menopur and Follistem on this Sunday. I had my first visit for acupuncture on Friday. I have to say I was not real sure that it would help. I was told it could help thicken the lining. I went into it not really expecting anything. I had been in tears all the way there and when I left I didn't have them anymore. My mother in law went with me and when I came out she said I looked like I felt better, and I did. The Dr explained that with acupuncture it helps to balance the body and I was really stressed. She placed the needles, starting in my forehead, and moved to my head, chest, stomach, legs, and my feet. There were a few that felt like electrical shock, she said that was the energy. I will continue the acupuncture. I will go back to the Dr on Wednesday for bloodwork and ultrasound. I will also be returning for acupuncture on Wednesday as well. I know with the last IVF cycle I had such a peace about the whole thing as we start this last cycle I have felt an unweighing amount of stress. Its hard to explain, but to want something so bad and have wanted and tried to get it for the last nine years and to know this is your last good chance its almost more to bear. I know God is in control and I have to trust Him. Please to continue to pray for us as we continue this journey.
