Fertility Acupuncturist - Wellington

Hi tanners, didn't want to read and run.

I'm not in Wellington but have had accupuncture before, during and after IVF treatment with our last transfer. As you can see from my ticker, I can't say it actually helped as it was a BFN for me that time, but I will say it helped me relax alot more.

I have heard others say that its helped them also, wishing you lots of luck, hope you get that well deserved and long awaited for BFP real soon!

Hey Tanners,
This is going to be one of those 'I know someone...' stories, but a work colleague of my mums has just had her first baby after 4 rounds of ICSI,She is 36 also. BFN's on the first couple and I think she had a MC as well, the biggest difference on her 4th cycle was that she had been doing regular acu sessions with the same acupuncturist I am seeing, and she had acu just before ET as well.

Her success story is what made me get onto the same acupuncturist straight away to prepare for my first ICSI at the end of this year.

In terms of using it solely as treatment, my acupuncturist has told me of some recent patients of hers that have fallen pregnant on their own after doing acu, some had already been through IVF multiple times etc, she's also very confident that DH and I can fall pregnant on our own, they are great cases and stories to hear and keep the positivity up for DH and I, but we decided we will still go ahead with ICSI in December if we haven't managed to do it ourselves by then(we are dealing with MFI).
We aren't from Wellington so can't recommend anyone unfortunately but just wanted to share my 'I know someone' story lol.

Hi ladies, thanks so much for your replies!
I've been searching the Internet and found the lady in mana so just waiting to hear back about an appointment time, will keep you posted!

I saw Janine at City Osteopaths for a couple of months, but was not ttc for a few weeks after that as due to see a gynae specialist, then got utd a bit after that.
I think Janine does the acu for FA too.

Otherwise I hear Katrina in Mana does come very highly recommended . . . also does herbs as well as straight acupuncture, but when I contacted her originally she was pretty booked up and there was quite a wait . . . good luck and hope you get a soon appointment

Yeah, my acu guy has recommended against the acu at FAW. Apparently they are only allowed to do certain acu points instead of doing it for each patient individually. And it's now $200 apparently!!

Probably way too late but Janine Nana at City Osteopaths is really good. Katrina from mana retired last year. Her approach was to give you herbs etc until you started your ivf cycle then she'd stop them.

Anyway hope you've done your cycle and had success so didn't need this info 😊
