TCM and/or naturopath in melb for infertility

[babyeager]

Hi all,

I am looking for TCM and/or naturopath in melbourne. I think i am categorised as "unexplained infertility". Was on clomid for 5 months, FS said stop taking it and i need to consider assisted therapies. He recommended IUI, but hubby doesn't really want to go onto it. He prefers us to get pregnant naturally. I dont suffer from neither PCOS nor endometriosis. SInce we are not prepared to go onto IUI, i think i have to think of other ways to help myself to get pregnant.

So, i really hope that someone can shed some lights and recommend me someone who is specialised in infertility and they got pregnant with them........ Help really needed here

Naturopath: Nicole Tracy (the BB expert naturopath) who works in East Melbourne. Nurtured By Nature - Australia - she is gorgeous, very attentive, caring and a wonderful woman. She worked in the BB Preg Centre and is my own naturopath also.

Mont Albert Acupuncture in Melbourne (Mont Albert) is where we went.

Catherine Lane is the TCM and acupuncture practioner there. Fertility support is her specialty! She helped us and still does with both. We have her to thank among others for our little man.

She now has a naturopath working alongside her too.

Amy O'Brien is an acupuncturist who uses TCM, she works out of Fertile Ground in East Melbourne (I think that's where Nicole Tracy works?). She is WONDERFUL! I saw her for pg related things, not TTC, but she was amazing. I have friends who have used her who have also had excellent results.

I'm sure you could pick any therapist from Fertile Ground and they would be able to help.........they are all experienced in helping with TTC there. All the best, I hope you get your BFP soon

I 2nd Amy O'Brien and Fertile Ground. She is very caring and knowledgeable. I've seen other people when she isn't available and have been quite pleased.

I have had a few consultations with Nicloe Tracy and she was wonderful! Really lovely and really thorough.

For TCM I visited a woman in Kensington (Melbourne) at Metro Chinese Medicine Clinic - Stella Pericleous. She is really lovely also and I managed to fall pregnant on the first cycle after beginning treatment with her. She uses traditional herbs (rather than pre-made pills) and acupuncture which is apparently more effective. She then helped me through the first trimester and then helped prepare for birth. I felt very well looked after and well nurtured with her. If you are in the central or west side of town, I highly recommend her.
