I went to an acupuncturist who specialized in fertility. Here is some research that I found.. keep in mind that everyone will have an opinion and you have to go with what suits you.

Marshall cites a 2002 German study suggesting that acupuncture may, in fact, work. The study looked at 160 women ...

I truly believe in acupuncture. My DH and I are currently 27 weeks pregnant with twins through IVF. You need good blood flow to produce many things including an inviting uterus ready to receive embryos- this is what acupuncture does. I did treatment prior to egg retrieval and then on the day of my ...

Hello Ladies,
Hope everyone is feeling good.. I just hit 13 weeks and am finally off the barfroom floor..lol. I wanted to get some opinions for those of you pregnant with twins. I would like to try vaginally if the conditions at the time are right of course, but most doctors just seem to go straight ...

Trawyn,
First of all, I am sorry for your losses. We too suffered a miscarriage of twins last July but are now 13 weeks pregnant with twins and doing great. Have you checked yourself for any immunological problems? Our chromosomes were normal but then we went to a Reproductive Immunologist and found ...

I have and have been going through horrible morning sickness too. I am now 10 1/2 weeks pregnant with twins. I had tried everything- saltines before you wake up, ginger ale, preggy pops, etc. Nothing seemed to help and I started to feel incredibly emotional, like giving up. To feel so horrible every ...

Hi San926,
I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with twins after IVF and have been on the
Endometrium Vag tabs for a very long time! Yes, part of them always seems to not dissolve, but each time I go in for my blood work, my levels are good, so not to worry! I take them every other day, 3 times a day ...

Hi Everyone... just looking for some reassurance. I am 8w1d pregnant with twins. I was having horrible morning sickness until a few days ago. Yesterday I woke up with nothing and then last night felt naseous again and now today, I feel no sickness and I am scared after having a m/c last July. We ...

Hello BichonMom,
I am almost 7 weeks pregnant with twins and my RE wants me to be on the progesterone and estrace for 4 more weeks, so till week 11. He explained that since they shut down my own system to start IVF that I wouldn't make enough of my own. I am doing injections every other day and ...

Hi Totmom- in a similiar boat! I too am 38 and we did our 3rd IVF transfer on Nov 17- did our first Beta last Mon and got a BFP! We too lost a pregnancy at 8 weeks last time (twins.) I love to cook so was sad that I didn't get to do Thanksgiving this year but can understand how it would make most ...

Thank you for the advice- I truly appreciate it. I guess more than anything, it isn't the excitement as we are "cautiously optimistic" but more the lying that we will need to do throughout the holiday season if I get morning sickness like I did before.. ugh.. glad to have it again if it means we ...

Hello Ladies,

Hi KMHTTC,
I just found out that we are BFP and have good levels so wanted to share my experience with you. I was on POI everyday and started getting such bad welts that I could not walk or sleep so we went onto POI every other day and Endometrin suppositories everyday- 3 times a day. Each doctor ...

Hello Wednesday, Welcome.. I too live in CA and my husband and I just went through our 3rd IVF. I have 4 embryos in me and I am just completing the first week of the dreaded 2 week wait. I am also on Baby Asprin and Heparin twice a day for clotting issues- we got a BFP on our last IVF and miscarried ...

Hi Dagnytaggart,
Welcome, I just had my ET yesterday so was searching around on the boards and saw that no one had welcomed you here. This is technically my 3rd IVF- my second resulted in twins that I lost at 9 weeks.
Best of luck to you-
Amy
