IVF Support and Natural Fertility – Melbourne

At The Fertility Pod (formerly Bump Acupuncture & Nutrition), our focus is on the physical and emotional state of the person as a whole. This means looking at being in optimum health to maximize the chances of fertility and the ability to bounce back after the pregnancy. Whether you are trying to get pregnant naturally, or are needing that extra bit of IVF support, we are there with you. For this reason we have created the Fertility Lifestyle Program to help guide you through the journey of becoming pregnant.

All treatments are designed specifically for your particular needs through a combination of IVF acupuncture, nutritional advice, herbal medicine and massage. Our clinic provides a place to relax between appointments both before and after your embryo transfer. We want to fill the voids we have experienced throughout the IVF process. Pre/Post embryo transfer acupuncture is done at our Monash IVF locations in Brighton East, Hawthorn and Clayton as well as our Carlton Wellness Centre.

We are pleased to now be treating in Brighton East at the Melbourne Fertility & Endosurgery Centre.
