Has anyone tried TCM ( traditional Chinese medicine) ?? With acupuncture ?? My doctor suggested we could try this taking a break in our IVF treatment. Any experience with it ? In my acupuncture session after ovulation the acupuncturist puts heat on my stomach , is that okay ??

My acupuncturist used to use less and more diffused heat after ovulation. I used Accupuncture for iui. Nothing really changed. But it did relax me tons.

Yup. But the heat lamp used to be much farther away. So it was just comfortable.. never got too hot on my tummy.

When I was on my fertility journey I did TCM and it was very helpful to successfully bring my date of ovulation back from day 17-19 to day 14.

I also did sessions during IVF stimming, but that was more for relaxation.

Heat on belly is a-ok as long as you’re not currently pregnant.

I hope it works well for you!
