Hi Hope

I just saw your thread. I would definitely recommend seeing a Chinese medicine practitioner, specifically acupuncture. There are now a few studies that confirm doing acupuncture, especially just before and after transfer, improves pregnancy outcomes. Even my GP recommends it!

I have been seeing Mary-Jo Bevan at Steven Clavey's Apricot Grove clinic in the city, and also while she is away Annalise Drok in Fitzroy. PM me if you want their details.

I noticed Dusty mentioned Ruth Trickey - I have heard great things about her too. I tried to see her last year in December but was told she isn't taking new patients anymore.

Having seen both naturopaths and Chinese medicine/acupuncturists, I would recommend acupuncture as an adjunct to IVF. The naturopaths I saw were great at working with diet, supplements and herbs, but acupuncture can be done while on medications. Many practitioners won't give you herbs while you are on IVF medications.

I had acupuncture leading up to and on either side of my transfer, and then weekly after that, and this cycle I got a BFP.

All the best for your next FET
