Obviously I am not pregnant yet but I do feel differences. For example I went to my first acupuncture session right after I knew the IVF hadn't worked. I was spotting really dark for several weeks and then the next day after the acupuncture my period finally came stronger instead of the constant spotting and I had mild cramps instead of the severe one I usually have. Well, that could also be because of the hormone treatment so I am expecting my next cycle to end to see if the results are consistent.
He places more than 30 needles around my body. I took a picture of my abdomen so you guys can see it. After inserting the needles he has a standing electric heater that he places right above my belly for the first 25 minutes and then comes check all the needles and move the heater to my feet for the next 20 minutes.
I also have needles in my head to treat my anxiety/depression. I think I am still anxious about the whole thing. How do we turn off that overwhelming desire of having a beautiful healthy baby? I am working really hard on that. I have been meditating more, trying to clean my head of thoughts at least once per day and trying to concentrate on the positive things of my life...
