I LOVED LOVED LOVED acupunture. It was a manditory naptime twice a week during IVF and kept me so calm and rested. I have also done it for IUI's several times. Inserting the needles hurts less than getting a finger prick for a blood test. If you have a good person you should hardly feel it at all.<br /><br />Typically for IUI you lie on your back and they put needles into points in your calves, stomach and wrist. My Acu will also ask about stress, headache or sleeplessness and do extra points in my forehead and ears if needed. The ears do hurt a bit more but it's really not bad at all. There is usually 1-2 sessions pre-ovulation and one post ovulation. I pay $75 for a 45 minute session but I think the first session I ever did was $90 minutes because she did a whole health assessment before doing points. <br /><br />Because IVF is twice a week for a month she lowers her rate to $60. The points are totally different. You lie on your stomach and get needles in the back of your calves, hips and wrists. The calves and hips then have a low current run through them which is supposed to increase blood flow to the pelvic area. The sessions stop right before retrieval. And then the day of transfer she does a session pre and post transfer on the same day.<br /><br />If you don't mind I've had a lot of really great questions like yours and would like to do a Q & A on my blog. I'd like to post this one and the response as well.Mrs. Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987757347063640562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795793761054155145.post-996551394433786992010-07-20T12:58:34.659-05:002010-07-20T12:58:34.659-05:00Hi Amber, ugh on the ac problem.
