Hi! I recommend reposting this as a new thread so everyone can read it. This is a thread about acupuncture and you probably won't get many responses here. This forum thing and posting can be confusing :0). Just go to the main Fertility page and post from there.
Good luck and SSBD!!! (that's "Super-Sticky Baby" Dust for good luck!)

i am new to this website a friend recommended me to join. She just got preggers from her first attempt with IUI. I just did my 2nd Procedure yesterday we put back my 3 frozen Day 2 Embryos, 2 of which multiplied into 8 cells overnight while thawing and 1 is still 4 cells, i am told they are all still very good and not to worry, they were graded 4 on a scale 1 to 5 (5 being best)... My Dr. decided to put back the frozen embryos using natural cycle.. i went in for scan to track the growth of my eggs and lining, on day 15 i ovulated..my lining was 11 and right side 1 egg 18mm, and left side 1 egg 11mm.. I have to admit this time is alot easier then the first ivf because i did not have to take any injectables or pills... my husband and i still made love before (in hopes maybe the 18mm will get pregnant) if not i have the (Day 2) three frozen embryo's put back on day 18. IT turns out i have alot of fibroids one is in the lower part of the cervix the dr showed us that he is placing these three in the upper area away from the fibroids.. I am wondering if the reason i am not getting pregnant is due to these fibroids... My Dr told me that he does not want to take out the fibroids just yet he wants to see if i can get pregnant without having to put my through any additional surgeries..
All i have to do is take suppositories twice a day and go back for my blood test. I've taken off the first three days of work to lay in bed and rest. I will be going back to work on saturday for four hours, i am a personal trainer, my clients know that i doing ivf so i've explained to them that i wont be lifting their weights or exercising with them, rather cracking the whip and telling them what to do. I'll have sunday off and will only work 4 to 5 hrs for the next two weeks. Unfortunately i developed a yeast infection two days before transfer, my dr said not to worry but wanted me to eat lots of yoghurt and doesnt want to give me any time for it.. in the meantime the yeast infection has gotten worse, do you have any suggestions of what to do, i've read to eat yoghurt and and drink cranberry juice? I am worried that the yeast infection will affect my ivf.. Unfortunately i've ran out of yoghurt and will have to run to the grocery store which only four blocks away my husband is at work and i have no one to go for me..i don't want to sound naive, i'm hoping that this wont hurt the implantation but i really need to get something..
I've already done 5 iui's last year, i've never been pregnant in my life. I did my first IVF in January had 11 eggs of which only 6 fertilized Day 2 embryo's all 6 grade 4 of 5..(5being best) In january i took off the full 17 days.. First three days i layed in bed and relaxed only got up for food and bathroom, the first week stayed inside and went whacky with nothing to do, i even stayed off the computer.. I cancelled all my clients for this time but have decided to do it differently this time..
I appologize for the long post, i know there are accronyms but i didnt know where to find them to make the post shorter..
Wish me luck any advice will be helpful
