IVF and Acupuncture

Hi I am new to this world and I am about to start IVF. Has anyone used acupuncture with IVF and has it helped? Can anyone recommend somewhere in Melbourne that specialises in IVF acupuncture?
Many thanks in advance!!!

BellyBelly's acupuncturist is Chris Tang - he's done several additional courses in acu for fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond. You can find him at http://www.boxhillcompletehealth.com.au/

Depending on where in melbourne you live I can recommend Fertile Ground in East Melbourne particularly Milly or if you live more Mornington way I can recommend Kirsten Doughty at Mornington Complementary Medicine...both did wonders with me!

Thanks melbel! I live in the northern suburbs, so they are all a bit too far for me.

I can't recommend anyone in Melbourne but I say go for it!

I used accupuncture for my last few cycles and the difference was just amazing. Good luck :)

Thanks Muppity. I will try anything if it's going to help. I went to a naturopath who made me take 15 pills aday and go on this insane diet that made me loose weight. I've got PCOS but I'm not over weight. So I've decided that's not for me and I'll try acupuncture before I start IVF.

I went to Melbourne IVF support Clinic around the cnr from Melb IVF, Jenny there is amazing :)

Thanks Bex. I'll look into it. I've got my first app on the 11/08 at City fertility on Stkilda rd. They may be able to give me info too.

I can recommend Fertile Ground in East Melbourne. Very handy if you're with Melbourne IVF as they are just around the corner. It at least helped with my stress. I saw Peter Slipper, but I think they are all good and experienced with IVF.

Peter knew I was pregnant before I did by my reaction to the acupuncture a week after my IVF. I just about kicked him when he put one into a hormone spot in my foot. I was always very reactive when he put needles in, in spots where I had an issue. He didn't say anything though.
