Acupuncture, Fertility and IVF Support
The first and original Fertility and IVF support clinic in Australia offers a unique approach to the treatment of infertility; one which combines the wisdom and skills of an age old time tested medicine such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern findings coming from research being carried out in clinics all over the world. We are actively involved in a number of clinical trials in conjunction with IVF Australia and Genea examining the effect of acupuncture and Chinese herbs on different aspects of fertility.
|
Created and run by infertility specialist Jane lyttleton and specialist practitioners she has trained, the clinics have seen nearly 3000 patients since their beginning in 2008. Our unique protocols have helped many couples conceive and have improved stress levels, side effects and outcomes for countless IVF patients. |
 |
| The clinic offers individualised treatment plans using Chinese herbs and acupuncture for couples who are preparing to conceive, or who are experiencing difficulty conceiving due to known or unexplained factors. A recent study shows that using Chinese medicine over a 4 month period can improve pregnancy rates 2 fold over rates achieved with fertility drugs or IVF. |  |
|
Our treatment plans for preparing to conceive are designed to optimise ovarian function and egg quality and sperm vitality, to reduce stress, regulate immune factors, promote weight loss and improve digestion and sleep. The programmes designed to treat gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis have proven success in improving fertility. |
 |
|
If you are planning to do IVF or have already embarked on IVF, then our acupuncture protocols will help to improve blood flow and drug delivery to the ovaries and uterus during the stimulation phase, improve rates of implantation of embryos and reduce stress and side effects. |
 |
|
Once you have conceived, treatment is continued in the first few weeks of the first trimester to allay anxiety and to reduce the risk of miscarriage. Breech presentations are treated at week 34 and acupuncture in the final 4 weeks before your due date prepares your body for labour and reduces the risk of being overdue.
