This is how I support you before, during and after IVF.
Ivf can be a difficult time for most women physically ,emotionally and financially.
This is why it so important to get the right support at this time.

In an ideal world I want you to start preparing for your IVF cycle with me 12 weeks before, but I know this is not always possible so I try to meet you where you’re at. 📆
The 12 weeks give us time to optimise your fertility with acupuncture, ensure you have had all the necessary testing , eating , sleeping and moving to support your fertility.
Not forgetting to check that the male partner has been investigated properly too.

So if you would like to work with me book your free 15 minute discovery call or book your initial consultation and acupuncture session.

It’s not unusual for these symptoms to not be associated with Endometriosis and mistaken for other conditions.
This is why it’s important to educate, advocate for yourself by keeping a journal of any of these symptoms , taking it with to see your GP and not I just think you have heavy painful periods.

Acupuncture helps manage endometriosis by reducing chronic pain, lowering inflammation, supporting the immune system and balancing hormones.

Research shows that acupuncture is working by :
🌟encouraging blood flow to various parts of the body,
increasing the body’s own pain-relieving molecules (endorphins),
increasing the immune response.
This results in less pain and less inflammation.

Acupuncture is a safe, complementary, non-pharmacological approach that can be used alongside conventional treatments like medication or surgery.

I came across this podcast and thought it would be useful listening for patients looking into IVF clinic .Guest speakers Emma the embryologist and Professor Basel Wattar. I’m not sure I agree with everything around the immune stuff!
IVF is one of the most emotionally loaded journeys a person can take. By the time most couples walk into a fertility clinic, they have already spent years trying, months grieving, and countless hours searching the internet for answers. That combination of hope and desperation is, in many ways, what makes navigating the IVF landscape so difficult. Vulnerability and high-stakes decision-making do not make easy companions.
The problem is that the IVF industry does not make it easy to choose wisely

The difference between “normal” and “optimal” might be why you’re still not pregnant.

When your doctor says your results are normal, they mean you fall within the laboratory reference range. These ranges are designed to identify disease in the general population. They’re not designed to identify suboptimal function for fertility.

So aTSH of 4.2 is technically normal. But thyroid function matters for fertility. Current guidelines recommend using laboratory-specific cutoffs, and many reproductive endocrinologists prefer TSH below 2.5 before conception, though evidence for treating levels between 2.5 and 4.0 remains debated. What’s clear: thyroid health deserves closer attention when you’re trying to conceive.

I see this frequently in clinic thyroid function not being assessed correctly, I don’t just look at the numbers I also look for sign & symptoms of suboptimal thyroid function
I always want to see these so called normal results myself to make sure the levels are optimal, this also includes, vitamin D, ferritin, vitamin B12 , folate and others.

Sometimes looking at these NORMAL test through the fertility specific lens can make the difference.

Not everyone wants Acupuncture

As a fertility support trained acupuncturist I know not everyone wants acupuncture, but my training allows me to use other tools to support you at this challenging time

Infertility can leave you feeling confused, isolated and unsure what to next.
This is where my expertise comes in, by helping you to optimise your fertility health, investigate and advocate, educate and support through your journey.
This starts with a depth consultation “ Online Advanced Fertility Consultation” (link in the bio) You don’t have to be local to me to use this service.

At this session you will gain clarity, actionable step and support.

Together we will look at the pieces of the puzzle of your fertility:

We will see how your menstrual cycle is affecting your fertility

Dig deeper into your test results and if necessary where to get any further testing
Look at lifestyle changes ,diet, supplements etc

Look at the male part of the equation, how is this impacting your fertility chances?
We explore both conventional medicine and alternative therapies to optimise your fertility.
referral to other practitioner/consultants if necessary.
Being part of the team of practitioners I have a large pool knowledge and experience to call on.

By the end of the session you will have a clearer picture of any red flags that could be hindering your journey and what to do next.

Within 2 days you will receive a “Personalised Plan” of your way forward.

Birth Preparation
Acupuncture is a natural and gentle treatment which can help prepare for and promote labour.
Acupuncture for birth preparation is a safe, complementary therapy generally recommended weekly from 36–37 weeks gestation to prepare the body for labor.

It can encourage the body to naturally release the hormones that soften and ripen the cervix (prostaglandins) and the hormone that triggers contractions (oxytocin). It can help to bring the baby into the best possible position for birth, helps to relax muscles and tendons, reduces stress and anxiety in order to prepare for labour and birth.
 
There is evidence showing that acupuncture can reduce the chance of going over the estimated delivery date, and that it may reduce the duration of labour and makes it less likely that birth will need to be induced.

why that 120 days before your next cycle is so important

You’ve had a failed IVF cycle or FET, and your next thought is “ when can we go again” when it should be why was not successful and what can we do.

 YOU CAN PAUSE ✋🏾
🌟You can stop and take sometime,”120 days “before your next cycle to improve egg and s***m quality and improve the uterine environment too.

🌟Check out and work on the following:
thyroid
inflammation
insulin resistance
nutrient levels
mitochondrial health.

🌟Consider further testing for both of you where necessary:
Vaginal/uterine microbiome
semen microbiome
DNA fragmentation test
Endosure for endometriosis


⏰I know you think you might be wasting precious time, but investigating why, could save you time, money and heartache

One well-prepared cycle often outperforms three rushed ones done back to back without investigation.

Often my patients with multiple failed cycles go on to conceive, even naturally, after working with me.

🌟So let’s get started, you can book a free 15 minute discovery call with me to understand how I work or if you want to get started asap you can book an online fertility review consultation . The links in the bio
