IVF Cost » Australia http://www.ivfcost.net How to balance the IVF cost per cylce with the IVF success rate Mon, 15 Feb 2010 14:59:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Acupuncture IVF And Fertility Clinic Australia http://www.ivfcost.net/ivf-cost/acupuncture-ivf-and-fertility-clinic-australia http://www.ivfcost.net/ivf-cost/acupuncture-ivf-and-fertility-clinic-australia#comments Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:03:50 +0000 admin http://www.ivfcost.net/?p=106 I contacted the Acupuncture IVF and Fertility Clinic in Australia to find out their IVF cost and how the acupuntue fits in with the IVF procedure. I received a reply stating that they do not actually perform IVF but help couples who have failed using IVF to fall pregnant naturally. Here is the response that I got – interesting, I’ve used acupunture before for arthritis in my shoulder caused by breaking my shoulder when I was young, the results were incedibly impressive, but you do have to make sure you have a very good practitioner, so this could be a real alternative.

You have asked me if I perform IVF. I do not. I am a Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture doctor specialising in fertility. I have an 87% success rate http://www.ivfacupuncture.com.au/statistics.html. Most couples trying IVF, ICSI, IUI do not need these proceedures. I have helped couples who have failed these proceedures countless times to fall pregnant naturally. Please see attached news articles.

This is definitely not the case – as I’ve found. When I wrote my letter to clinics for more information on their IVF treatment I specifically posed the questions:

  • What is the maximum age that you treat?
  • Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?

because if the clinic restrict their treatment to relatively easy cases – younger women without complicated infertility issues – then their success rate is bound to be higher.

I have just read an article about the claimed success rates in Queensland, Australia, and find that even with these questions answered I stand little chance of getting a comparable success rate, or even a rate that means anything at all! Check out the article here, and remember that choosing a clinic can be as much about how you feel they respond to you as it is their published success rates – which is why I am finding the responses to my letter so informative, and you can find them all published here on this blog to help you too.
