Acupuncture before trigger

I need advice.

I have been doing Fertility Yoga since the beginning of my cycle.

I'm in the middle of my IVF cycle and the RE told me that I should be triggered tomorrow night or Saturday and I scheduled an acupuncture appointment for tomorrow afternoon.

Does anyone think that this would help or should I just stick to the Yoga.

Thanks for any advice.

I don't know about the acupuncture but I am interested in finding out what other people have to say. What is fertility yoga? I do yoga weekly but I don't know about fertility yoga.

I think it would be good but I would ask your acupuncturist. They should know. I think it would be the perfect time. I also would like to know about fertility yoga.

Hello ladies! Just giving my 2 cents on fertility yoga. Its yoga with certain positions that are supposed to increase the blood flow to your reproductive organs. So its all centered around your fertility. I've ordered a DVD off the internet called, "Yoga for Fertility" by Brenda Strong and am enjoying it so far.

I skipped the acupuncture because of budget, but I did have a massage a day before and did lots of yoga. I was worried that I should have done the acupuncture, but it still worked. I don't think the acupuncture would hurt anything.

I do acupuncture and I love it. I originally went to the doctor for fertility treatment after two failed IUIs. My MD said there was nothing wrong, so we tried the natural way for another year with acupuncture and herbal medicine. She claims that she can help people get pregnant and has many success stories. We are not one of them yet. We just did our second IVF. I had acupuncture the week before my ER/ET, but this was mainly for relaxation and anxiety. And I went to her yesterday for the same type of treatment.

Just be careful to tell the acupuncturist what you are doing because there are certain points they will not want to use.

Good luck.

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
