Best of luck anyway. People have done it successfully both ways, with and without anesthesia. Aly, I’m guessing that there are no other programs in your area? Best of luck anyway.

I am extremely scared as the HSG was traumatic for me. I was told that the sedation was effective but now I'm worried about twitching and moving, as you mentioned. Can you give me any advice? I was crying to the doctor and begging her for anesthesia but she said they don't believe in it as its dangerous and unessesary. I'm SO upset.

You could have been just as successful of a writer as you are an RE. I was wondering if you had time to provide some advice regarding the relationship between acupuncture and IVF success. I've already undergone one successful IVF cycle (my son is now 15 months old) and I have my first FET embryo transfer scheduled for Wednesday at 10:30 am. My acupuncturist can see me Tuesday night and Thursday morning, but not on the day of. Everything I've googled seems to suggest that acupuncture the day of transfer improves success rates---so I'm not sure if I should try to find a different acupuncturist that would be available on the day of, and/or stick with the one who already knows me (and performed my acupuncture for my previous success). Any thoughts? Your advice would be so appreciated!!! Thanks again for all that you do, on behalf of all of us reading. Warmest wishes, Christina Hello doctor,

There are some RE's who will absolutely insist on injectable progesterone as the only choice. There are also some who universally use vaginal progesterone on all their patients. I will use both types depending on the patient's medical history and her personal preference. It depends on whom you ask.
