Welcome to Komyuniti IVF Fertility Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in Melbourne, Fitzroy.

We understand that embarking on the journey to parenthood can be simultaneously exciting and challenging. Please rest assured that we are here to offer you specialised care and support aimed at enhancing your fertility.

Our team at Komyuniti has developed a unique Traditional Chinese Medicine fertility approach, one that is intricately customised for every individual. This methodology seamlessly integrates with an extensive network of referred practitioners, gynaecologists, and IVF specialists, all working collaboratively to enhance reproductive function. This comprehensive support system is meticulously designed to provide our patients with the best possible prospects for conception and a successful pregnancy.

Our programs are thoughtfully crafted to complement established assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which encompass procedures such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). This strategic combination increases the likelihood of achieving your desired fertility outcomes.

At Komyuniti, we take a comprehensive approach to address infertility by merging the insights of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the established principles of Western medical science. Your Gynaecologists diagnosis serves as a crucial starting point in understanding the specifics of your infertility. Building upon this diagnosis, we incorporate the holistic diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine to gain a more comprehensive perspective. Subsequently, we carefully craft a treatment plan, drawing upon insights from both diagnostic techniques to provide a well-rounded approach to your infertility concerns.

Preparation Support & Conception Support

Your ability to influence the outcome of your pregnancy is most significant during the preparation or conception phase, more so than at any other stage. The efficacy of Chinese Medicine is maximised when consistently applied over an extended duration. This approach can help regulate your menstrual cycle, alleviate discomfort, enhance uterine lining thickness, improve egg quality, optimise your overall physical condition for pregnancy, reduce stress, and support your parasympathetic nervous system.

IVF support

Effective IVF support relies significantly on precise timing to enhance the likelihood of a successful outcome. IVF can be a challenging and stressful journey, and acupuncture treatments aim to  provide relief from the stress and potential side effects associated with IVF medication. Our comprehensive treatment, spanning from the commencement of ovarian stimulation drugs to egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and pregnancy testing, is designed to assist in several key objectives:

Egg Embryo Collection

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments for Egg Embryo Collection, aim to improve the health of your ovaries and reproductive system, which is a critical factor in achieving successful conception. At the core of your entire reproductive system lies the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO axis), a central control centre. When imbalances occur within the HPO axis, they can lead to hormonal irregularities, disruptions in menstrual cycles, early onset of menopause, and fertility challenges. For instance, elevated FSH levels can rapidly deplete your egg count. Therefore, evaluating and regulating your hormone levels through the HPO axis is of paramount importance in determining the success of your egg freezing efforts.

IUI Support

A crucial aspect of successful Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) support lies in precise timing to boost your chances of success. Acupuncture treatment provided in the correct stages can be administered to assist   the uterine blood flow to enhance embryo implantation and calming the nervous system.

 

Pregnancy Support

Pregnancy acupuncture offers a versatile solution to address a wide array of common discomforts during pregnancy. Here’s how it can assist:
