Annoyed
I've been doing acupuncture for my retrievals and transfers, and I swear I've spent almost as much on acupuncture as IVF! Sadly, I'm not even 100% convinced it helps, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I pre-paid for a bunch of sessions and had 2 left, and have decided I'm done after this. So today I go, and my acupuncturist tells me that she sent another client to my RE after seeing my results since this other patient is just slightly older than me. Apparantly, this patient has a much worse "story" than I do and after 3 retrievals and her 1st transfer, she is pregnant!!!! For some reason, this really pissed me off. I'm noticing that I'm super irritable and cranky, I would love to think its because I'm prego, but I'm sure its just the progesterone or PMS. Everyone and everything is annoying me....aarrrgggh......thanks for letting me vent.....

Oh that is really annoying she would tell you that! I am sure it was to give you hope but really DOES NOT help during your 2ww. I really hope your irritability is because you are prego!
Hopefully soon she can use you as a success story. I would be annoyed also thinking \"why not me?\" . Hang in there!
I would be annoyed too, I think that\'s normal so don\'t feel bad about that.
Personally im not a big believer in acupuncture. If I had the extra money, sure if give it a go but I\'m not sure it does anything. I did it for one cycle, which was an awful cycle and stopped after that. I think with or without it your cycle is going to go however it is based upon the embryo and lining and not much else. Enjoy your last two sessions and then don\'t feel guilty saying goodbye.
Hang in there.
That would piss me off too! Sometimes its like I love succss stories, but i\'d love to be the success story and not the one hearing about it.
Ugh, why would she think that she should tell you that?
So sorry. I\'m sure she thought she was encouraging you but it really has the opposite effect. I hope you still get your BFP.
Wish we could know why it works right away for some and not for others. Its a crap shoot! Wishing you lot of sticky baby dust!!
Ugh poop on her. And poop on the lady who got preggo, and poop on the fact she felt she had to tell you, making you feel like the one left behind. Ignore, and find someone else or some way else to destress! Situations like that sort of outweight the benefits IMO!
Ugh...that\'s a bit inappropriate! So sorry to hear that! Finish your sessions and be done with that woman because she is not helping you AT ALL!!!
Aw booo, that stinks and def not what you needed to be told. I would be super annoyed as well. I\'m sorry friend, thinking of you ((HUGS))
I would be annoyed too, or rather...upset. Why on earth she thought it would be a good idea to tell you this info, I have no idea. Chalk it up to people who are clued out. I don\'t think she was being hurtful, because she was obviously excited to tell you, but she obviously was insensitive. People do that. Vent away with us!
(I never thought much of acupuncture myself for IF.)
Definitely not what you needed to hear... I did acupuncture, and think it helped...hang in there
