IUI- Third times a charm?

[EllePS]

So, I am 5 DPIUI and am curious to know if any of you had success by adding acupuncture and pineapple to the mix. We used Clomid days 3-7, HCG trigger, and as of 1 DPIUI oral progesterone. I began acupuncture this time around about a week before the procedure and have been consistently visiting every week since. I figured we’re doing everything else…This is our third IUI and I am feeling much less anxious in fact this time around I hardly think- "could we be pregnant right now". I have the same symptoms that I now understand are directly related to my assortment of hormone treatments. Me a healthy 35 with no fertility issues my husband 32 with very low sperm counts.

After your first coupel of cycles of TTC (w/ meds)  the TTW gets easier, but I find I take BFN much harder :\
How much pineapple are you eating? I was told w/ IUI to have a slice of core ONLY for 5 days.

Thanks Ladies! So, I am not sure if it is because we are in the middle of our third TWW and I am just used to the accelerated hormones & anxiety or if the acupuncture is helping. I feel better this time around. I understand how I am feeling. I do still get excited at the idea that after years of ttc that we could be pregnant right now but it's not all I think about- thanks god.
So, I am keeping with the acupuncture -for now.
The pineapple on the other hand...I am not loving. Don't get me wrong I have always enjoyed pineapple every once in awhile but everyday not so much. I have developed a few canker sores in my mouth and my body does not seem to appreciate the added acidity. So, I finished the last of my sliced pineapple this morning and I wont be buying another one for a bit.
Warm thoughts for you! Elle

I don't think acupuncture could ever be a bad idea, especially if your practitioner knows your goal set.  I wish you all the best and am sending good energy for a positive outcome!
