Acupuncture and Medicine

Had my first two acupuncture appointments last week and it was strangely relaxing and felt productive. The embryologist at our fertility clinic highly recommends acupuncture throughout the IVF process. So I called who she recommended and made an appointment. It was very very quite in the clinic and it seemed everyone moved gracefully and with purpose..strange. So I had my first treatment on my lower back while Dr Whang (yeah that's his name) proceed to tell me:

No raw food, No coffee, No soda, No Ice, No ice cream, No cold food
Keep feet warm (warm feet...warm uterus) I giggled at this..Whang was not amused.
No get sick ( I'm using Dr.Wangs voice if you haven't noticed)

So after my session I promptly drove home feeling limp and like I had just finished a stint at a rehab clinic. I slept for three hours it was bliss. Dr Whang insisted that I come back the following morning for another session and surprise surprise I lapsed into another 3 hour coma afterwards....needless to say I'm kinda digging this acupuncture thing.

All of my drugs were delivered also. Good Golly Miss Molly it was enough to fill a pharmacy! We have Lupron,Bravelle, Menopur, HCG, Endometrium, Estrogen Patches,Valium, Doxycycline,and an anti- inflammatory in a pear tree!

Did I mention we are doing IVF with ICSI and Assisted Hatching...how could this elaborate scheme not possibly work I ask myself.

Here"s a picture of my choo choo train of meds.
