Jane I went to a naturopath (who also did acupuncture) who specialised in fertility problems & whose pet subject was womens fertility about 4yrs ago after going on Clomid for 12mths with no results. After 2yrs of trying we were game to give anything a go, plus a friend recommended her & she had fallen pg with her after about 4mths. I wasn't expecting miracles coz my cycle was all over the place ~ anywhere from 44 - 80 days long & only seemed to ovulate every 2nd or 3rd cycle.

After 8mths with her, & taking chinese herbs every day & acupuncture once a fortnite she had my cycle back to a regular 28day one with ovulation occurring every month ~ she cost me about $150 for my initial consult including herbs, then about $62 every fortnite after that.

My bonus is that after 11mths with her we conceived our son, so for me it was totally well worth it & worth every dollar we spent.

Like Melbo my concern is her saying that she can improve your egg quality as the naturopath I saw told me that they can't improve things like egg quality, whereas with men they can help to improve sperm. And it sounds like you guys are pretty definete on the IVF path so I would be wary about her telling you about the eggs. I agree she could maybe help you get healthier to help carry a baby better for your body.

Wishing you every success with the decision that you make (although it sounds like you have pretty much made your choice) & every success for your future.
