I have just started the injectibles for my first IVF cycle thru Fert Associates in Wellington. I've been doing some reading about the benefits of doing accupuncture alongside IVF. Any ladies in Wellington that can recommend a practitioner in the central city?
Thanks

HI there I am also doing IVF through Fertility Ass and have been to Janine Nana at City osteopaths (had a few sessions before implantation and one afterwards) her colleagues are good too. They will be setting up at FA in wellington from this week, so will be there for you for after your embryo implantation.
All the best with your cycle.
For me the injection stage was fine, actually exciting and I felt good. I got a bit sore towards the end of it up until now, but thats normal apparently.
I had 2 embryos implanted in me last week, so now its the big wait...!

PS, Janine is an acupuncturist, not an osteopath...!

Thank you so much Bubbles! I have just called and spoken to FA. I think I might have a few sessions privately beforehand but will ring Janine and talk to her about it.
I am still on the buserelin for another week or so before I start Puregon. Egg Pick-up will be around 23 March so I still have a bit of time yet.
