    IVF & acupuncture - easten suburbs

    Hello all,

    I'm a newbie on this site so I am hoping that I have posted my question in the correct area.

    I have heard that acupuncture does wonders during IVF cycles and embryo transfers.

    Can anyone recommend a good acupuncturist in the eastern suburbs Melbourne? (Sorry to my previous thread, I forgeot to mention what state. Tahnks to all that replied already!)

    Thanks to all that will reply!

    Eastern suburbs of Sydney? Not sure if this helps, but I went to Rozelle Acupuncture - good reputation and specialists in fertility. I saw Leah and she was very good.

    GL on your TTC journey.

    Hello, I go to Acupuncture IVF Support Clinic in Maroubra Sydney. And they have a clinic in Melbourne that's just opened. [link removed please read guidelines]
    I'm mid cycle and have been quite impressed by the staff - all very good and I've met another woman on these boards who has been going to them and has a great result with egg collection. (Actually I just posted to her to see if she has a BFP).

    I must say I'm feeling a lot less 'emotional' in this cycle - DH has even commented. All the best to you.

    I used a guy in Frankston who was recommended by a fellow IVF/LTTTCer. He was great.
    If you want his details, then i'll be happy to pass them on.

    Dear Turner, MissMagpie and Lenny,

    Thanks to all for your replies, very much appreciated. I'm thinking of booking an appointment with Justin at belly belly.

    Missmagpie - CONGRATS on the BFP, you must be over the moon! It's great to hear wonderful success stories! I bet you are looking forward to meeting the little angel!

    Lenny - the details for the acupunturist in Frankson would be great, I will pass them on to a friend that also needs assistance and lives up that way. It's a little too far for me, but thanks anyway!

    Turner - thanks for the information, I will check it out. Great to hear it's helping with your cycle.

    Good luck to all TTC, it can be a long and hard journey, but we will all get there! XO

    Hi Earth angel

    I see Mary Jo Bevan - she is not only an angel but very experienced with IVF patients. WIll pass on her details if you prefer to see a female practitioner (which was my preference).

    Hi earthangel,

    Depending on how far east you are, it may be closer for you to see me at Ferntree Gully. I'm in BB tomorrow so feel free to give us a call and I'll explain how Chinese Med can help, and we can sort out what works best for you. Early afternoon is ok, if I'm in a consult I'll call you back.

    Hello Loula, Lauramay and Justin,

    Thanks for replying to my thread.

    Loula and Lauramay - if you can send the details I will be forever greateful to you both.

    Hi Justin, I've heard excellent reports about your work. Furntree Gully is a little far for me but I'm happy to explore this option too. I will give the center a call next week.

    At the moment I am exploring options, and the more information I get the better for me to make a decision.

    Thanks again for replying.

    Hi Earth Angel,
    Mary jo Bevan works in the city and she is about to open a clinic next to melbourne IVF in east melbourne. Her no is 96547181.
    She is incredible and it will be great when the clinic is next door to the IVF centre!

    Hope this helps.
