Accupuncture (specialising in fertility)?

[BusyB]

I am in the middle of my first IVF cycle and have recently moved to the area. Can anyone reccommend a good local accupuncturist who specialises in fertility?

Hi BusyB,

I saw a lady at Health Matters on Lordship Lane (possible Claire, but it was a good 2 or 3 years ago so I may have her name wrong).

Anyway, she was very good and it seemed to help with my fertility problems.

Good luck with your IVF.

Hiya, if it is someone specialising in fertility rather than a general acupuncturist the Zita West network is meant to be good - though not local, and pricey.

I understand that there is also a big acupuncture training centre in Camden that has a fertility section, they may be able to recommend someone in SE London.

Hi

I went to a guy at the vale practice, which is on grove vale (can't remeber his name though, i think it might have been italian?) during my ivf a couple of years back. I got pregnant first time trying and now have a beautiful healthy baby boy.

Good luck xx

That's her Fuschia, Claire Battersby.

Personally I would go with someone local, the last thing you need right now is the stress of travelling all over London for treatments.

Very easy for me to say now I've got my 2nd I know. But I think stress and worry contributes massively to the success of any fertility treatment / issues so feel it is important to keep life as simple as possible at times like this.

Hang in there, it took us 3 years, 3 miscarriages and an ectopic before we managed to have our second (was good at falling pregnant but no good at keeping them :-( ), but we got there in the end.

Hugs, Molly

Yes, I think that's good advice - thanks all for the posts and fingers crossed!.

I can also recommend Claire Battersby. Very understanding and warm - which I think is such a must.

Good luck
