Thank everyone!

Quick question that I know this was posted on here earlier. What did people do with regard to pre and post transfer acupuncture? I did it with my Evan cycle but am still contemplating doing it this cycle.

Also, we did my PIO last night and I started bleeding a lot. Never had that happen before!

Lora - I had acupuncture the day before retrieval and the day after transfer (I would have had it the same day as transfer but transfer was on a Sunday).

lora - your count sounds great! can't wait to hear the fert report I did accu from before I started my cycle thru the end of my 1st trimester. I did not do it immediately after transfer, just went a few days later for a regular appt...that was all my accu person said I needed (although I know the "research" says differently). After my transfer I went once a week for accu. As for the PIO & bleeding...I think I hit a vein once. Blood shot out of the injection site like a fountain. Never happened again, and it didn't leave any bruising or anything - just kind of freaked me out (I did my own shot as dh was working late)!

shannon - so happy you were able to see the heartbeat! hooray! hope you are feeling ok.

bre - hope you're finding some relief, too. have you found anything that seems to work?

Thanks Kaj and Heather!

Well got the fert report...12 fertilized of the 18. I guess that's ok. 66% v. 75% with my Evan cycle.
This process is mind-numbing! My nurse seemed to think it was a great number....

Lora, that IS a great number. I'm very excited for you! I did acupuncture from before the cycle began thru the day before transfer. I never went post transfer b/c I couldn't make my schedule work, but I was mostly doing it for my lining issues and by then my lining was what it was so I wasn't too concerned.

Good luck Lora!

Not much new here... Molly is a climbing fiend... climbing up to the top of the dining room table.. DH is not taking it well. She's also got a huge head (off the top of of the charts, by a lot) which makes her very tippy. Giggle.

Guess I shouldn't giggle at my own. LO.

Crazy at work.

Tia - My Molly's head is big, too...90th percentile!

[handsandfeet]

Huge head here, too. He is very top heavy. The other day he fell on the kitchen slate tile, landed face down, and busted his lip. SOO sad. I swear it's his huge head.

What size shoes are your LOs wearing these days? Molly is in 4.5.

[BREEZY]

Lora- how many are you transferring?

Kaj- my H is wearing a size 5.

Pretty sure Halloween is gonna be a big bust, she screams like we are torturing her every time we try and put her costume on?! I don't get it?! It's just a tutu dress?! She HATES it!
