Holistic fertility and gynaecology expertise, support and success

Welcome

If you're struggling to have the baby you long for, and desperate to break free from conditions like endometriosis or PCOS then welcome.

I'm here to help

Specialist fertility and gynaecology integrative care

This isn't just regular acupuncture. This is specialist fertility acupuncture, along with pregnancy and gynaecology expertise along with the very best treatment protocols and a specialised integrative approach. With extensive training and experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine), Functional Medicine and reproductive science, I combine ancient wisdom with cutting edge approaches, to bring you the best of both worlds.

Helping women to have the family they desire, and reclaim their life and vitality from the restrictions of gynae issues.

Working With Me

Here at Louise Collyer Acupuncture, I create bespoke treatment packages to transform women’s health and fertility.  And I help them navigate these complex areas with insight, compassion, support and advocacy to ensure that they’re getting the very best care at every stage.

I have 2 busy clinics in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and also work with those struggling to conceive with endometriosis nationwide with my unique Endo Fertility Solution.

Fertility

Fertility issues are devastating, confusing, and all-consuming. Whether there is a specific diagnosis or if the cause is unexplained, my specialist fertility acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can optimise fertility, alleviate cycle symptoms and soothe stress.

Pregnancy

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment in pregnancy, and is particularly important in the first trimester after fertility issues. It can also help overcome pregnancy symptoms, enabling mother and baby to flourish at every stage.

Gynaecology

I specialise in transforming the symptoms and impact of complex gynaecological issues such as:
Endometriosis
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Fibroids & menstrual disorders

The Endo Fertility Solution

Available Nationwide

If you’re ready to break free from the constraints of endometriosis and have a baby, then this is for you!

You can now access the Louise’s care and expertise throughout the UK with her 1:2:1 therapeutic Endo Fertility Solution.  It’s a bespoke treatment package harnessing her specialist care along with Chinese herbal medicine and natural medicine interventions.  It will relieve the pain, fatigue, brain fog and limitations of endo and boost your fertility, so you can have the baby you long for

  Finally, a natural, effective solution to endo fertility issues.
(oh and it works brilliantly if you’re struggling with endo but not looking to have a baby too)

Hi, I'm Louise

I’m one of the UK’s leading fertility acupuncturists and Chinese herbal medicine practitioners.  I’m also a functional and natural medicine professional with a deep understanding of fertility and gynaecology from both holistic and Western medicine perspectives.

I’ve spent over 15 years studying, advocating for, and treating women’s health and fertility, diving deep into this specialty.  And I continue to train with the very best, both in the UK and internationally.

I’m passionate about empowering women to stop putting up and shutting up.

  Fighting their corner so they don’t settle and suffer.

    Healing their health so they can seize a life without limitations.

      And enabling them to have a family, whatever hand they’ve been dealt.

You’ll see a lot of acupuncturists out there saying they can boost fertility and help women’s health.  They’ll be doing that using the foundational principles of Chinese medicine, which of course can be very effective.  However, the treatment of fertility and gynaecological issues in both Chinese and Western medicine is very complex and evolving rapidly.  To deliver tangible results in these areas takes specialism, continued professional development and a wealth of experience.

And that’s where I come in.

This isn't just regular acupuncture and herbal medicine. This is integrative expertise, along with the very best treatment protocols, delivering the results you long for.

With Louise Collyer Acupuncture, you'll find:

  • Bespoke treatment just for you
  • You’ll be working with a fertility, endometriosis and gynae expert, with her eyes on your specific case. Louise will design a bespoke treatment strategy just for you, looking at all aspects of your health and wellbeing, and drawing from her extensive toolkit. And this plan will be constantly developed as your health transforms.
  • Specialist expertise
  • Louise has specialised in fertility, endometriosis, PCOS and other gynaecological conditions for over 15 years. She continually hones and expands her skillset with advanced training with the world's leading experts. Her approach uses the latest research and cutting-edge integrative medical practices, along with the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has a deep understanding of intricacies such as endocrinology to oogenesis. DNA to implantation. immunology to advancing age; male and couple fertility, assisted reproductive technology (ART) and pregnancy loss.
  • Root and branch approach
  • Louise will dig deep to deal with the root causes of your specific health and fertility issues. And soothe those symptoms that are making life so tough. She’ll be working with you, just you and your situation. Not the diagnosis you’ve been given. Not the stage of life you’re at.
  • A proven methodology
  • Louise provides proven, effective treatment combining advanced acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, high quality, high dosage Chinese herbal medicine and natural medicine interventions. This combination delivers powerful results, transforming your health and fertility.
(oh and don't forget, if you're not near to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Louise's Endo Fertility Solution is a wonderful nationwide option).
  • An overwhelm-free zone
  • Throughout, Louise will be alongside you as your practitioner, your healer, your advocate, and your mentor. Walking alongside you every step of the way. No overwhelm here - just logical, achievable steps back to health and the life you long for.

Katy, treated for fertility and miscarriage

I first met Louise after my first miscarriage, feeling lost and in need of support to understand my fertility. Louise guided me through both the mental and physical recovery, and just five months later, I fell pregnant with my son.

Her support during my pregnancy, especially after a loss, was invaluable—her acupuncture not only helped me have a comfortable pregnancy but also a smooth labour. When we decided to try for a second baby, I didn’t hesitate to return.  I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Marie, treated for endo fertility

I struggled with debilitating pain in the run up to my period and during the bleed with my endometriosis.  I was trying to conceive but it wasn’t happening and I was finding it really challenging because of the discomfort.  I’d even had excision surgery for my endo, but was so disappointed in the results. It barely helped my symptoms, and left me with some nerve damage.

I’m so glad I found Louise and Chinese Medicine. It’s transformed my symptoms and massively improved my quality of life. And best of all, I conceived and I now have a beautiful baby girl. If you get a chance to work with Louise, grab it!

Helen, treated for fertility

I came to see Louise for a second time when I was having difficulty conceiving our second child. After suffering a miscarriage, a bout of postnatal depression and trying with no success to fall pregnant for over a year, I was feeling pretty low.

The great thing about acupuncture is that it takes the whole person into account. Louise spends so much time finding out about all aspects of your life which might be causing a problem. She has such a caring and attentive attitude and the sessions often felt like therapy which I emerged from feeling exhilarated and refreshed.  I came for acupuncture sessions twice a month for seven months, all while charting my ovulation dates and fertile times under Louise’s guidance and now I am ten weeks pregnant with my second child. I can’t thank Louise enough – she is a miracle worker!

Alison, treated for IVF support

Louise was recommended to me by a friend when I started my first cycle of IVF. She was open, friendly and had a very good understanding of the hormone treatment I was receiving. Her practice complimented each stage of the treatment by enhancing the effect of the drugs but minimising the side effects. In particular I enjoyed having time each week to focus on myself and to relax.
I believe that the combination of these factors helped me to conceive first time. I now have a lovely two month old boy who is sleeping in my arms as I write this.

Emma, treated for endometriosis

Honestly, I feel like a new woman.  I feel the best I’ve felt in 20 years.  Oh and my recent period was great!

And so it begins! For the next 6 months you will find me immersed in another @drleahhechtman certification training, this time focussed totally on Gynaecology - my favourite!! It’s going to be a heavy 6 months because Leah takes no prisoners and has you reading hundreds of papers on top of lectures and tutorials! But when my patients present to me with their complex fertility history and current fertility of pain struggles I like to understand all the minutiae of why they’ve found themselves in this position and working with Leah helps to enhance this understanding of that journey. Expect me to be quoting lots of trivia about the brain, ovaries and uterus at you these next few months! ❤️

When @inna.duckworth asks for blood, she means it!! 😂 This is the most number of vials I’ve ever had to fill and I was worried I would be leaving my patient with nowt!! But her body gave it up happily! I often bring Inna in on board to explore issues with the immune system and microbiome, if my patient has experienced recurrent miscarriages or recurrent implantation failure. So if this is you, let me know if you want Inna on our team. But be prepared for me to do a collection like this on you!! #wombyoda #recurrentmiscarriage #reproductiveimmunology #reproductivemicrobiome

Received this amazing message today and I’m once again reminded how much of TTC is so much about our partner - and how so many women internalise infertility/struggles to conceive as their problem - and often when we start digging into things and look more closely at semen results we can find more to the story. #dontforgetdads #malefactorinfertility #malefertility #ttc #endofertility #chinesemedicine #tcm #acupuncture

Another awesome year!! Love my job and love the women putting their trust and their bodies in my hands for me to try and tip the scales to pregnancy. Thank you for working with me this year, and for letting me help you through the rough times as well. I know it’s not all plain sailing and the road to a baby is bumpy and filled with obstacles. But I’ll always do my best to help you clear them. Get in touch if you want to work with me in 2025! ❤️ #wombyoda #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport

This was a great Christmas present! This is my PCOS patient who hasn’t had another pregnancy since her first one in March 2024. When she came to me I addressed her thyroid health and did a vaginal Microbiome test with my favourite company @screenmewomen which flagged up things we needed to clear and improve on with antibiotics and herbal medicine. (Those were some pretty strong tasting herbs but she bravely finished the lot! 😂) And three months in, we have this result!! I always ask you to give me time: it takes time to do some investigations and to work on the results we get, the egg cycle itself is about 4 months so it can take that long to start seeing the healthier eggs coming through once we’ve altered the environment they’re growing in etc. But often with time, we’re rewarded!

At the start of this year, following in the footsteps of my dear friend Lisa @silverdrumm, I decided to try and do 2024 miles in 2024! These days I am very much not a runner, but Lisa said don’t worry, just move the year, rather than run the year! So these miles were achieved through hiking and cycling (spinning!) It’s fitting that the 2024th mile was achieved with @loulebells because she’s cycled a lot of these miles with me, and even more appropriate that we did it in @sarah_ellis1988’s charity spin class because she’s cycled is also our weekly feature. Lisa smashed it by reaching 3000 miles - that’s what living in Chicago and getting up at the crack of dawn to exercise does for you! I don’t think I’ll ever reach that but I’ll definitely aim for 2025 miles next year! If anyone wants to take on the challenge, I recommend downloading Run the Edge!

Working with Lauren has been an absolute dream, she was experiencing period hell when she came to me and was caught up in such a hormonal rollercoaster. It was a joy to get her to the point where she was no longer plagued at all by any symptoms of her menstrual cycle and was back in charge of her life! #wombyoda #pmdd #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #womenshealth #infertility #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endowarrior #fertilityclinic #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #endometriosissupport #newcastlemums #newcastlewomenshealth

At the start of 2024 I joined a number of practitioners spread out across the globe to be part of the first cohort of the Advanced Fertility Certification run by the incredible @drleahhechtman . This weekend I finally graduated after submitting 5 assessments for modules covering female and male fertility, couple fertility, fertility assistance and ART and pregnancy loss. Each of these modules went deep! It’s been a full on and intense schedule of studying around practice but so worth it. And I’ve come through the other side feeling even more specialised and able to inform and help my patients navigate this rocky path of infertility and formulate appropriate treatment for each individual. The learning doesn’t stop there: because of my special interest in endometriosis and all things gynaecology I will be continuing my learning with Leah by embarking on her gynaecology course next year! #wombyoda #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport

Here’s how we do this 🙌 What I’ve seen in hundreds of the women I’ve worked with: First we take out the things causing your body distress, antagonising and fanning the flames of inflammation and contributing to hormone chaos. We introduce the things that are going to heal and soothe and actually tackle the pain and symptoms of the endometriosis. We search for hidden infections adding to the problem. Women tell me that they feel their energy return, their digestive systems start to work again and their periods become a breeze. They start to make plans for socialising again and no longer worry about “period week” Their fertile signs improve and if they have to go through IVF the outcome always yields better results.

Just showing you guys I walk the talk!! 🙌 During my trip to the states my colleagues and I all used each other as case studies and diagnosed and prescribed for all our ailments! We came up with a combination of three formulas for myself which I will be taking for the next four months. This year I’ve been coming on with frequent coldsores, viral rashes with every cold I catch and some lingering rosacea. I’ve identified some food sensitivities thanks to a brilliant FIT test I use with patients (sob, COFFEE!!! Plus dairy and eggs!! 😱 Goodbye tiramisu, you have my heart) so I’m eliminating these for a bit but, I’m really hoping to accelerate my healing with my own favourite superpower, Chinese herbal medicine. Stay tuned for the results!! 🤞 #chineseherbalmedicine #tcm #acupuncture #herbalhealing #wombyoda

Kate’s story is the classic example of women who eventually try Traditional Chinese Medicine and have their life turned round! I did a few things with Kate, looked at food she was reacting to and used various formulas of which I am constantly refining as we go along to keep adapting to her body as things get ironed out. Changing her period has been one of the most rewarding experiences and I am ever grateful that I get to practice this elegant and bespoke medicine.

All of these women got these results by the third cycle of working with me and following my programme. Most couldn’t believe the difference and I even hear the term “I’m a new woman” quite a bit. So how did they do it? ➡️ By following a programme utilising evidenced based and highly effective Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathic and targeted dietary support. Here is the strategy: ✅ Identify all the ways the Endo is affecting your body ✅Apply the appropriate formulations for the presentation as prescribed by me ✅ Follow dietary recommendations and changes ✅ Observe changes with each cycle to allow me to modify your prescriptions ✅ Investigating for any hidden infections that could be contributing to Endo progression and (if applicable) infertility All with me by your side the entire way! The programme is my 4 month Endo Fertility Solution. I know it works, and it can work for you too. Ready to have this for yourself too?

A follow up with one of my patients this morning was a joy to hear - she’s halfway through working on my Endo Fertility Solution programme and we’ve come so far, her digestion is transformed, her energy is way up, her periods are so much easier and we’re now at the point where we can start optimising things for conception after doing all the clearing and repair work I’ve been concentrating on.

She’s responded brilliantly and I’m excited for our next steps! #wombyoda #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport
I am Glasgow bound to meet my two wonderful women from my Iceland hike last year, our reunion is to hike the West Highland Way over 7 days! This week there was snow and blizzards, so wish me luck, crossing everything for sunshine, no midges or ticks, and no blisters!! As a devoted Scotophile, my soul can’t wait to be back on the Scottish hills and heading into the highlands!

Why do I look so freaking happy about this vial of blood? Because I took it baby!! 🙌💪 I trained in phlebotomy in December but didn’t actually take any blood until one of my patients asked me to do an hCG test for her, so I knuckled down, mosquitoed a few willing victims and today I drew blood for the first time! Having 12 years of needling behind me means I’m absolutely fine with needles but phlebotomy is a whole different ball game! The North East is an area where the majority of people have to travel for bloods, especially those requiring more volume and centrifuging. So I wanted to be able to provide this for my patients because so many people struggle with finger prick tests when we order progesterone and thyroid panels, so I am happy to be able to support my patients in the North East with this service. In my current Advanced Fertility Mentorship with @drleahhechtman we are looking at DNA Methylation panels in great depth and because this needs centrifuging, I am pleased to now be able to provide this to my local patients. When you work with me, I try and go above and beyond to get you to the end goal. Now, who’s going to let me keep practicing this skill on them?! #wombyoda #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport

By the time women come to me, they are fed up. A lot of the doctors they’ve come in to contact with have either dismissed them, failed to listen to their gynae history, ignore results that are blatantly out of optimal range for fertility (thyroid, progesterone, etc, etc) and often write them off as statistics (too old, BMI is too high, just need to lose weight etc). Rarely are they treated as individuals with a unique gynae history of their own. If anything is offered, it’s generally chlomid or IVF. Sometimes these work, which is a relief, but when we’re dealing with failed rounds of IVF and progressing conditions like endometriosis, it is not enough to bang out some fertility treatment and just hope conception will happen. You have to dig deeper than that and take the woman’s case as unique to her. When you work with me, I listed to your history, I dig in to all the areas of your life that might be contributing to the issues you’re experiencing, I recommend changes and investigations and alternative doctors you can work with, and I treat you as an individual. And usually you end up feeling a lot better in the process and feel empowered in your own health and fertility!

Inflammation, Endometriosis and Fertility. A subject I don't seem to stop talking about! But look at all those things we have control over!! By working on these, we can make our physiological age younger than our chronological age (or definitely not older than it!!) and improve our prospects for conceiving.

These are the things I always want you to keep in mind: 1. I’ve seen what women have described as “war zones” in their pelvis go on to carry healthy pregnancies. I’ve stopped worrying about what is and isn’t possible for my patients! 2. The amount of times I am seeing that the issues are on the male side is staggering. Yes you might have Endo, but that might not be block to conception. Never rule out looking into DNA Fragmentation if your partner has been told “he’s fine”. Enough of the lazy investigations of men!! No one is winning from this! 3. Have a look at the account of @rahivictory.md for a more effective approach to doing IVF and FETs with Endo. This man knows Endo!!! 4. Endometriosis does not automatically = infertility whatever you read. You just need to know how to best to live with it, work with it and support it. 5. Seriously. Chinese Medicine was made for this stuff! Inflammation? Tick! Static and coagulated blood? Tick! Unregulated nervous system because of chronic pain? Tick! Poor sleep? Tick! I could go on…! 6. Diet and lifestyle are major players in agitating or soothing Endo. Think low inflammation diet, eating in appropriate windows of time, supporting circadian rhythm and maximising rest etc. 7. Even if both tubes are damaged, the right IVF protocol for Endo can overcome this issue. Like number 1, I’ve seen some of the most severe cases of Endo experience spontaneous conception. Look at some of my Underdogs - Natalie and Lynsey - for inspiration! #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport

Lynsey always said she wanted to be an Underdog back when I started my little series, and I think neither of us can believe the day arrived in which we could tell this story. I'm so grateful to her for allowing me to write it all. out here for you all. Time and time again I see women's bodies go on to defy the prognosis of surgeons, to defy the stats laid out before them by consultants, and to often achieve something they were told was not possible. If you want help in your fertility journey, or even just managing your Endometriosis naturally, I can support you in person or online through my Endo Fertility Solution.

Here we are on the next installment! I don't know if this effectively summarises just how much a state Lynsey's body was in when she came to see me. The headaches and migraines, the pain and exhaustion from Endo, and of course the heartache from her fertility journey so far. I was so blessed that she put herself in my hands; she was the best team mate I could have asked for and she got firmly stuck in! She also made every session with her an absolute hoot because in all of this, she kept her feet on the ground and didn't lose sight of what made her Lynsey. It is so easy to lose our identity in the world of TTC and forgetting what made us ourselves before we start on that journey. I'll conclude her story tomorrow - it's a good one, I promise!! #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #ttc #newcastlemums

This little lady coming in to the world was an emotional day. Rachel has been with me a couple of years, for a mixture of IVF and working on getting her uterus and ovaries active again after post pill amenorrhea and what appeared to be polycystic appearing ovaries (no syndrome). In all this time we had good success with embryo transfers, but in the midst of this she suffered both an ectopic pregnancy and also anencephaly (where the 12 week scan shows baby's skull has not developed properly), meaning she had to go through two very traumatic losses in the space of two transfers. I never lost hope that she would become a mother however, because she showed good success with IVF, and by our 3rd transfer, she fell pregnant with her beautiful baby girl who is now out in the world and causing havoc! Here I am showing Rachel how to do the "Tiger in the Tree" position to help soothe her - babies love this. When I get to meet your baby, this is the most precious moment of all and is why I do the work I do. I will stop at nothing to help you reach this goal. #newcastle #newcastlemums #northeastmums #ttc #pcos #pcossucks #fertilityissues #fertilitysucks #ttcjourney #fertilitysupport #fertilityproblems #acupuncture #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #fertilityissues #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #ttcwithpcos

Looking back on my year in clinic makes me feel quite emotional! All the babies born, all the bumps growing, the positive outcomes of successful IVF rounds, the IVF rounds avoided with surprise natural pregnancies, the endometriosis pain tackled and the flooding periods reduced and hormones regulated. But on the flipside of that there’s been pregnancies lost and the IVF rounds which failed. I will always work on trying to get to the bottom of miscarriages and to investigate how an outcome might be improved for a follow up IVF round, but I feel the devastation along with you all the same. I love my work as a women’s health and fertility specialist and it is both a privilege and joy to work with my patients both in person and online. Chinese Medicine treats the whole person and I am grateful to practice a medicine that steers people back to health and often off medications. If you would like to work with me in 2024 just go to the link in my bio which will help you get in touch with Marie, my assistant, or email us at louise@louisecollyeracupuncture.co.uk If you have endometriosis, painful or heavy periods, PMDD, I am here to help.

I encourage everyone to follow the page of @rahivictory.md, it’s both very entertaining and extremely informative and he has some absolute bangers on there. This particular post I’m referencing will provide you with ideas to take to your IVF clinic about how to approach an FET round using an alternative to the commonly used HRT approach. I work with so many women going through IVF, I would love to see a more bespoke approach for my endometriosis patients! Has your IVF doctor tried this approach with you, and if not do you think they will be open to it? Give a shout out to the progressive clinics below!! 👇 #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport

Hello!! 👋 I am notoriously rubbish at posting here and even introducing myself to new followers, (clinic and patient care takes priority!) but as my son has started school, hello Fridays!! So here goes! For those of you who have joined me recently, I am a Chinese medicine and naturopathic practitioner with years of experience specialising in fertility, endometriosis and all things women’s health! My biggest joy in my work is taking someone from a place of despair, helplessness and if Endo, acute and chronic pain, to feeling hopeful, empowered and like they have someone in their court working tirelessly towards the goal. And taking that Endo pain as close to zero as possible. A favourite of mine which you might see on here is my Underdog series: case studies that show a successful outcome for a woman who was written off by the NHS as being too old, too overweight, or too damaged by Endo to conceive. A lot of my girls prove them wrong! 💪 TTC is trying, in the tedious sense! It makes you frustrated with your life and your friends, and your life lacks in joy. This is often true for Endo as well, when you suffer chronic and constant pain and fatigue. I hold you through this by listening to you, but you’re also likely to find me trying to make you smile which sometimes involves quite colourful language. I want you to come away from your time with me with smiles mixed in the tears. This might mean I’m not the practitioner for you…! For other practitioners following me, I’m also here to support your endo patients with my remote work in herbs and functional medicine. Plus I offer a specific programme I’ve created called the Endo Fertility Solution, link in bio! Feel free to introduce yourself to me, reach out to book an appointment online or in clinic for acupuncture and/or herbs via my website!

This lovely message was sent to me by a patient I’m sending off to her 12 week scan. A PCOS sufferer and TTC with IUI, she was finding the failed rounds and clinic experience very frustrating. When she started with me and we finally got going with round 5 of IUI, we had success first time round when working together. And it has been plain sailing since! I am excited to meet her little one next Spring! 😍 When supporting you on your TTC journey I leave no stone unturned and work in partnership with you to achieve the BFP.

I was over the moon when @hannahpearn asked me to come on her podcast and talk with her about what you all know to be my favourite subject - endometriosis + fertility!

I don’t even know how to sum up the last week. I flew to Iceland to join a group of women I’d never met to trek the Laugavegur Trail and I came back with friends for life and memories of landscape I’ll never forget. Epic, majestic, beautiful and awesome. This was one of the best treks of my life and to top it off Iceland provided earthquakes and an erupting volcano! (As seen in the last clip from the plane!) Thank you to all the people who made it so special, the amazing @snaesa and my sister-from-another-mister @silverdrumm! I’ll never forget this trail or this week!

Last weekend I overcame a huge fear of mine, put my big girl pants on, and presented to a big room full of TCM practitioners on a subject so important to me - supporting #fertility patients with #endometriosis. Having specialised in fertility for over a decade I came to realise that #endo is where my passion lies and an area I realised I could influence not only the fertility outcome in the women I support but also their quality of life, and I fell in love with working with this condition. As a result I have spent the last few years deep diving into this subject and developed an approach to treating it that I call an integrative approach. I like to come at Endo from ALL angles. I want to know everything about your menstrual cycle, your digestive health and comfort, your sleep, what and how you’re eating - I turn over every stone with you. It is this approach that I discussed with fertility practitioners around the country to help them approach it in the same way, to help as many women as possible to receive the best possible care. Naava @fertilitysupport invited me to speak and I thank her enormously for giving me this platform to share the love! And also for believing I could do it when I was a bag full of nerves! To all my patients who put their faith in me to support them with this complex condition, thank you and I’ll stop at nothing to help you. And all the practitioners who might need extra support from a Chinese herbal medicine approach, I offer a 3 month herbal packages to support your work. You can see more in link in bio. Thank you to everybody who told me you loved my presentation, it meant the world to me! ❤️ Oh and @a_d_acupuncture - this is me showing my face as instructed! 😂 Also a shout out to @emma_byers_coaching who helped me get the Endo Fertility Solution off the ground, by taking everything that was in my head and helping to evolve it into what it has become, for giving me the tools in marketing and the belief I could do actually do it!

I loved talking with Jo about the progress we’ve made working on her period pain and short cycle. She’s had such dramatic improvements in just a few cycles. Periods don’t have to be monsters, I promise!! This interview lasts 13 mins so grab a cup of tea! #chinesemedicine #chineseherbalmedicine #periodpain #endometriosis #endopain #tcm

IVF Support Louise helped me through a challenging part of my life. From the moment I met Louise she made my journey with IVF a more informed and positive experience. My weekly visits to Louise were something I looked forward to and I enjoyed the sessions which always put me into a relaxed mindset. Nine months later I now have my miracle little girl Gigi, and thanks to Louise and Gateshead Fertility my first round of IVF was successful & I also feel incredibly lucky to have one additional frozen embryo too. 🌈 Bex, March 2023 Thank you Bex for letting me share your story! It is always a joy to support women going through the IVF process and to help them achieve success. Sometimes it’s round one, sometimes it’s subsequent rounds, but as we learn more with each round I can further advise and adapt the Chinese Medicine to help improve the response to medications and alleviate side effects of the drugs. I have heaps of these stories I can share with you if you enjoy hearing them, just ask below! 👇 #acupuncture #acupunctureforivf #chinesemedicine #fertility

Happy Chinese New Year, the year of the Yin Water Rabbit! (This has got to be my favourite image - it makes me think of Zootropolis where bunnies and all the non predators live in a world equal to the big boys! Hello socialism!! 🙌 You can tell I currently watch too many kids films.) Apparently the rabbit represents thunder shaking the ground, which unlocks our true nature and propels us forward. I love to think of my fertility and endometriosis patients in this context - making progress this year with natural conception, IVF treatment or surgery, and I am excited and blessed to be by their side in 2023. Thank you to everyone who works with me and supports my small independent business.

And so my threenager turned four, and our dear friends @vicky_batsioudi bought him this T-Shirt, his default phrase (I’m still hungry!) and his default face! To be honest, I’ve always had a voracious appetite so I can’t blame him! But I fear for the future, I’m not sure our fridge will accommodate his needs!

Jodie reflected back on her experience and said to me that in a weird way she was glad she didn't reach the NHS BMI limits, because if she had, she would have gone through three rounds of IVF with the clinic local to us (the clinic who told her to stop concentrating on her thyroid results and focus only on losing weight!) who use a standardized protocol which they do not individualize at all for couples, and it's likely that she would ever have gotten to the root of the problem and would have most likely given up. I think we're both still amazed at the outcome of this journey. When Jodie first walked into my clinic over a year and a half ago, I could not imagine the twists and turns her progress to pregnancy would take, but it has taught us both a lot, and we both hope it can help inform others as to their options. If you've enjoyed reading Jodie's story, do let me know and send some love to Jodie for her tenacity! #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #fatpositivefertility #pcos #ttcwithpcos

Gulp! Things were really starting to get exciting now!! Jodie's texts to me around the time of egg collection and embryo development shows us just how far we'd come: Obviously we are a little nervous because we haven't had any to freeze but I am hopeful that this is our time and we get at least one from all this. I mean never in a million years did I think 19 mature eggs and 100% fertilisation! And all still going on day 3! Just compare this to Round 1 - a complete transformation. I also loved Jodie's next message: "I also want to find the urologist who told us that the sperm DNA fragmentation didn't really matter ant is all my age. Because I know I haven't found a time machine this past year. Ah I'm so happy!"

Jodie's story is not unique. If you have been on a fertility journey for some time you may have had experience of clinics neglecting to treat or even test your thyroid. One of my patients was a GP: she was naturally aware of the parameters for general thyroid health as set by the NHS because she prescribed within those parameters, but she was not aware of the recommendations for fertility. She had a TSH reading of 3.5. She was about to embark on a second round of IVF with her clinic when I asked her to speak to her consultant about this. He explained they have a policy of only medicating the thyroid when there have been two miscarriages or two failed rounds of IVF. Sadly we were "only" on one miscarriage and one failed round, so she was put through a second round of IVF, which failed. Lo and behold, when they agreed to medicate her, after only 3 weeks on levothyroxine, she conceived and I supported her to carry to term. Sure, we will never know if it was the addition of the thyroxine or the fact she was seeing me so regularly in the build up to her next IVF, but either way, she did not miscarry and her previous pregnancy was over 2 years ago. It's also important to remember it is not just about medicating the thyroid, but also doing what you can to support thyroid health through diet and lifestyle, just as Jodie embarked upon here. It is also important to note, for those women experiencing conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, that women with endometriosis and/or PCOS are at an increased risk for thyroid disease or dysfunction - which adds just another layer to an infertility picture and increases the need to rule it out as a contributing factor. #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #fatpositivefertility #pcos #ttcwithpcos #thyroidpcos #thyroidinfertility

There is not enough room in this post for me to talk about the benefits of investigating your vaginal microbiome, especially for fertility! In some ways this is the hidden area of unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriages - it is there to explore but the NHS will not do this for you so we can only pursue it privately. But what it can flag up is hugely informative for trying to rule out factors that could be contributing to the picture. It is also important to consider that with all the investigations that go on with IVF (trans vaginal probes etc) that anybody prone to a microbiome imbalance can often find these investigations aggravate this problem because of how it might disrupt the vaginal microbiome. Some women report they have a flare up of bacterial vaginosis or thrush, so this is also a clue that things might be out of balance and a microbiome swab will help us look at this more in detail to see if there is anything potentially creating a hostile environment for sperm and implantation of an embryo. It is also worth noting that the miscarriage charity Tommy's is currently doing research to explore this subject - to read more see here: https://www.tommys.org/our-research/our-research-projects/miscarriage-research/vaginal-bacteria-and-risk-miscarriage @invivohealthcare #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #fatpositivefertility #pcos #ttcwithpcos #vaginalmicrobiome

Dealing with Jodie's hydrosalpinx - the fluid on the tube - was the next step. Whilst there are herbs we can try and use for this - herbs which are good at resolving damp and phlegm and clearing toxicity - this process can take time, and its success can be dependent on the location of the issue in the tube, whether it is at the isthmus or fimbriae section etc, and time is often something we do not want to lose in the conception journey to the unknown. When TTC, sometimes surgically removing that tube IS the optimum approach, as if the patient knows they are definitely going down the IVF approach, it is not needed and can do more damage than good. When Jodie had this tube removed we all felt that she was in a much more secure place to conceive and hang on to the embryo if we got to implantation. #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #fatpositivefertility #pcos #ttcwithpcos #hydrosalpinxandivf

We definitely saw improvements when we got to round 2, so the varicocele surgery and the approach of trying to reduce DNA fragmentation had definitely made some difference.

I have to admit I had to really bite my tongue to hold back expletives when Jodie told me this anecdote. Or maybe I didn't! I was appalled. Here was a urologist who specialises in removing varicocles, who told them under no uncertain terms that something which is understood to decrease the viability of sperm for producing healthy embryos was STILL not the issue of their infertility, and it was, quite simply, her age!! Even though his morphology was always suboptimal, the message was, if only he was with somebody younger, he would be conceiving with no issues. We hear this kind of thing from our patients far more than we care to. It is deeply frustrating and fails the couple in so many ways. The methods for testing Male factor have come a long way and it is only a matter of time until they start to appear in more of the NHS investigations. But until then, all emphasis is placed on the woman and the quality of her eggs. Medical misogyny!! Have you had a similar experience?

This story starts with a failed round of IVF. At this point, Jodie could have believed what she was being told by consultants that the failure was all down to BMI and age. And she could have then given up completely or repeated a round of IVF with the same consultant, only to try a slightly different protocol to see if it changed the response. A change in protocol might well have produced a few more eggs on retrieval, but, it is likely that there might still have been a similar outcome of poor fertilization and embryo development. By this point in her fertility journey, nobody had suggested looking any deeper because all they could see in front of them was a statistic: Jodie was reduced to a stat of her combined age and weight and the consultants were happy to predict and explain their infertility and IVF outcome in this context. Harrumph.....! Who here has had a similar experience?

I absolutely love geeking out on Endometriosis and how Chinese Medicine can support it, so I thought I'd talk a bit about Endo Lesions and TCM. When we think about lesions, from a herbal medicine and acupuncture perspective, we are thinking, do we need to break up blood stasis, do we need to resolve sticky mucus and damp, do we need to strengthen the body's metabolism or do we need to try and modulate the immune system to stop it from over reacting to the presence of lesions. By knowing what lesions are present, we can simply get more honed with our treatment in Chinese Medicine to a very specific degree. It doesn't mean that we can't achieve similar results if you have never had surgery to identify lesions - we are still able to work with the symptoms your body gives us that also gives us an idea of how lesions might be presenting in your body. #endometriosis #endometriosisuk #fertility #fertilitysupport #fertilitysupporttrained #womenshealth #infertility #miscarriagesupport #tcm #chineseherbs #chineseherbalmedicine #acupunctureforfertility #endometriosisfertility #endowarrior #fertilityissues #endoinfertility #ivf #ivfuk #fertilityclinic #infertilitysucks #endofertilitysolution #fertilityacupuncture #notpregnant #thisisinfertility #thriveandconceivewithendo #endometriosissupport #endolesions

Lizzie's story is one of those that makes you think, just imagine if she'd listened to that first doctor!! Lizzie decided to look elsewhere when she was given a pretty damning diagnosis by her first fertility consultant, and thank goodness she did. The work we did together helped prepare her body for IVF and steered her through safely to the 12 week scan. Her periods improved dramatically and she learnt to understand her cycle. IVF helped us in this case create healthy embryos and together Lizzie and I created the right conditions for implantation. Secondary infertility can be the most frustrating of diagnoses and is often sorely unsupported by our NHS. Endometriosis progression may have played a part in Lizzie's story but fortunately she found a doctor willing and capable to get the best out of her ovaries! Congratulations Lizzie on your pregnancy. If you are experiencing infertility, either primary or secondary and have reached a dead end with the NHS, please don't give up. Seek second opinions! And reach out to a practitioner of Chinese Medicine - it is a brilliant treatment modality for supporting you to conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Christine is one of my favourite underdogs!! She kept being refused support by the NHS clinics because of the very common "you need to lose weight" mantra. PCOS is a condition that makes this weight loss very challenging. Instead, by giving the body the support it needed to kick start its own reproductive cycle, Christine was able to start ovulating again and conceive her son Murray - with only one patent tube as well! - meaning she was able to come out of the whole experience feeling better in her health, empowered in her body and with a sense of self belief again. Thank you for letting me tell your story Christine! 💛 If you are experiencing loss or infertility and have reached a dead end with the NHS, please don't give up.

Emma's case is a wonderful example of conceiving naturally despite being told that you have 17% chance of a live birth. She was recommended IVF with one hand but the option was removed with the other when she was told she would be refused treatment because of her BMI. The NHS treated her as a stat, but all too often I see women defy the stats: Emma is one of my best examples of this. She went on to have two beautiful children naturally after being given little support and sympathy after experiencing miscarriages from the doctors. Her body just needed a little support and a few lifestyle changes and she proved it was possible.
