I would so much rather spend my money on massage - (which btw just had an awesome study showing how it reduces stress hormones).

I think it took me something like 6 days to have actual AF-like flow when I stopped my BCP for this IVF cycle. When I took BCP in the past, it was usually 3-4 days after the last active pill.<br /><br />As far as acupuncture, I find it very relaxing. It definitely gets expensive (mine is $65/treatment--1 tx/week normally, 2 tx/week in the month leading up to transfer) but I think that anything that helps me relax through this process is helpful. I will be going twice on Wednesday (before and after transfer) as recommended by both my IVF clinic and the acupuncturist. My RE office even gave me referrals as they really recommend it during IVF cycles.Cortneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479447159620571581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-3540514872419858552010-10-04T21:48:13.465-05:002010-10-04T21:48:13.465-05:00I find acupuncture very relaxing.

I'm about to post something about our expenses so far, but we've spent over $2500 on acupuncture and herbs.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030801926318157162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-7823592848591683362010-10-04T19:08:39.126-05:002010-10-04T19:08:39.126-05:00It took like 4-5 days for me to get my withdrawl b...It took like 4-5 days for me to get my withdrawl bleed the cycle we did IVF. Before on BCP, it was like 2 days. Who knows why.

AF is a you-know-...that's how she always works. AF is a you-know-what. if you haven't already, i'd call. <br /><br />as you know, i did acupuncture for most of my past cycles. i didn't do it my last cycle but i'm doing it again for IVF#2. i stopped because everything about cycling became such a burden. it became too much of a process, too much of a reminder. there's conflicting research but i figure if it helps me relax, then it can't hurt. (i also bought the circle+bloom meditation series for IVF. again, it can't hurt.) plus my new acupuncturist is in the same bldg as my clinic so it makes it even easier. i say give it a try! if you don't like it, you don't have to continue.<br /><br />good luck, alison!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205229672932956280.post-4438577068983778432010-10-04T14:41:39.612-05:002010-10-04T14:41:39.612-05:00it usually took me about 4 days to get to the with...it usually took me about 4 days to get to the withdrawal bleeding part of BCPs and it probably varies some with which type you're taking.
