Acupuncture Doc

So this afternoon I met with the acupuncture doctor. This was just an informal meeting to find out why I wanted to do acupuncture, to ask any questions I might have and go over what they think should be done. She showed me the needle, which was strangely flexible and even gave it to me to take home and show Dan. Its probably 1.5 inches, very small diameter and solid (not hollow like a typical medical needle). She said she has worked alot with in vitro over the past couple years and has a plan they like to follow. Basically they want to do acupuncture on day 3,5,7,9 (of my Lupron injections) and then before and after the egg transfer. She said the sessions would take 20-25 minutes and she would use about 20 needles in my feet, hands, abdomen and head! She said I could do some sessions during the 3 weeks I am on birth control pills if I want to just relax or know how it feels but doesn't think its necessary. It was an interesting meeting and I think it will be fun to try.

So we are still in a holding pattern. Probably another 7-10 days before I start on the birth control pills. In exactly 2 weeks Dan has a follow up CT-Scan, however his appointment with Dr. Woods to read the CT Report isn't until the 10th of July. As soon as we know anything from that we will let you guys know.

Totally unrelated note, Dan and I just finished watching Dexter Season 2. Its a cool show and worth renting :)
