Exploring adjunct IVF acupuncture in Brisbane?

Where acupuncture may fit

Acupuncture appointments can provide time to discuss your current stage of fertility care, stress, sleep, digestion, cycle history and any advice from your fertility specialist. It is best considered alongside medical fertility care, with expectations kept realistic.

• Bring relevant cycle dates, medications and fertility clinic instructions.
• Tell your practitioner where you are in the IVF or fertility process.
• Ask how appointment timing may be planned around your existing care.

What will be discussed

The consultation may include Chinese medicine assessment, your health history, current medical care, stress load, sleep and previous treatment experiences. Any acupuncture, moxa, herbs or supplements are discussed before use and adapted to what is suitable.

When your medical team should guide the timing

If you have new pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, possible pregnancy complications, medication concerns or symptoms that feel urgent, check in with your GP, fertility specialist or maternity care team first. Once you have been assessed, acupuncture can be discussed as supportive care where suitable.
