Acupuncture Sydney?

[PeaceLover]

Hi Krips, thanks for your suggestion, I was hoping to find something a little closer. Although did you have any success with Dr Giselle Cooke ?

Hi Sarak, thanks so much for your message, and feedback about Lilly Lui. I have heard about Jane Lyttleton, can you tell me if you have had any results with acupuncture? I've read mixed reports, so am wondering how others found it? Did it help you - Also Krisps? What about you?

Hi Peacelover

I'm a Dr S patient as well, and did acupuncture throughout my IVF cycles.
When you do your egg pick up & transfer with Dr S, you will do it at the Maroubra clinic... They have an IVF acupuncture clinic right next door to the day surgery where you will have it done.

The pracitioners there are absolutely wonderful, & will fit in around your times... One of them met me at 7am one morning to give me a treatment before transfer

Either call Dr S clinic for the number, or google IVF acupunture Maroubra

Good Luck with your upcoming cycle, Dr S is wonderful

Thanks Hollybolly, thats a great recommendation, I though the pickup and transfer would be there I'll give them a call. Was there anyone in particular you saw? Or are they all much the same?

I've heard great things about Dr Sacks, he's pretty straight without beening insensitive. The only thing is I've also heard the murmmer, that IVF Australia only doing pick ups 3 days per week, can reduced your chances of collection, if there not collected at the optimal time. I cant seem to find any solid evidence on this though.

to you!

Dr S is wonderful, he is so encouraging & sensitive but at the same time will always be honest with you

EPU & transfer are done any day, depending on when your body is ready.
I know some regional clinics only do certain days, but not his one

I saw different people at the acupuncture clinic, they were all lovely.
It depends as to what time your EPU & transfer are, and who's on an early shift (if it's first thing in the morning like I was!)

Good luck with everything!

Hi

I thought I would update this and invite anyone to post who has had experience with IVF and Acupuncture. There are allot of old threads but not many new.

Anyway I went to see Lily Lui and she is quite enthustiastic! Her english can be a little hard to understand sometimes but that may be because she is quite passionate and talks fast. The first treatment as $105 plus some herbs at $75 so $180 so, all up. But they were just some antioxidant things like gogi berries, chinese dates & ginseng, which come to think of it are quite expensive. She didnt want to put me on any herbs until after the first cycle as my stomach sometimes gets upset from herbs. Then each appointment is $70. I've decided to go twice a week, as she can always fit you on once she has seen you for the first time.

And I have been told that IVF Acuputure the one underneath IVF Australia at Maroubra are good, all the staff are trained by Jane Lyettleton, but they can sometimes be students. I'm sure they are good but it something to consider.

Has anyone had any other acuputure experiences they want to share? Or comments ?
