[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so helpful -- thanks all for the insight. I'm wondering about what kind of relaxation techniques you used during the process: massage, acupuncture (not sure how relaxing that is), meditation, exercise? We are both totally wound up and are going to need some serious chilling-out.[/quote] For my successful IVF cycle, I did a massage between ER and ET. I also didn't exercise after ET until the pregnancy test. The good advice the doctor gave was not to do anything during the cycle that would make you wonder about whether you messed anything up. Up until then, I kept myself relatively sane with regular exercise and a list of fun things to do that I checked off (I will finish this book before I obsess, I will participate in this activity before I obsess, etc.). I also got myself a big treat just for finishing the cycle before I found out whether it was successful. I since heard of folks having a "if this doesn't work" treat and plan so that at least there is an immediate silver lining. I plan to do this next cycle.[/quote]
