Acupuncture

Has anyone had acupuncture during this process? I’ve just started and been told I should have it weekly in the run up to my IVF cycle, then twice a week while in the cycle, plus immediately before and after egg collection and transfer.

Short Luteal Phase

Has anyone had an IVF cycle canceled?

I’m on my second egg retrieval cycle and on a slightly modified protocol. Apparently my ovaries are “sleepy” and I only have one measurable follicle on day 11 of stims. My doc says to continue meds until day 13 of stims and we’ll reassess to see if we need to cancel my cycle. I have a bad feeling it’s going to be ...
