Lucy Townsley
Testimonial from a happy mum Jacinta
“Both myself and my husband had been trying for a baby for a couple of years before we attended Lucy clinic, we were a bit shocked when we realized that my husband sperm count had not been checked . Yet I had undergone every test possible. She suggested we went about getting the test done. It came back low. Lucy then suggests he attended for acupuncture and herbal medicine over three months to help improve his sperm and then get it rechecked. We did this and his sperm improved so much the fertility clinic said we can go ahead with our first round of IVF. We both continued with acupuncture during the IVF process and the two week wait was the worse, but we got pregnant the first time of trying and had a healthy boy. A few years later we wanted a brother or sister for Toby we went back to Lucy and we were so lucky to have Anna. Thank you so much, Lucy, for all your help.”
Are you exhausted from the emotional roller coaster of trying for a baby? Do you feel frustrated and wonder why it hasn’t happened yet? The journey can be confusing and lonely, especially when you're unsure of the next steps. Month after month, the uncertainty can take its toll, leaving you feeling drained, anxious, and in need of a clear plan. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the questions: Is there something I’m missing? What else can I do to make this dream a reality? I can help. Recently, I worked with a woman who was recommended to me by a friend who’d had her own success story. This woman was beginning her IVF journey and wanted a clearer path forward. Through a few small tests, we uncovered insights and created a strategy that helped her enter IVF with peace of mind and a healthy outlook, knowing each day brought her closer to her dreams.
It’s natural for even young, healthy couples to take a year or more to conceive.
If you’re under 35 and have been actively trying to conceive for over a year without success, it may be worth considering a few health checks to identify any potential obstacles to conception. For those 35 or older, it’s generally recommended to start with health assessments after six months of trying. You may have already done some initial testing—like Day 3 and Day 21 hormone panels, STI screenings, a full blood count, or a semen analysis for your partner. Perhaps you've also explored anatomical tests such as a laparoscopy or HSG, along with internal assessments like a cervical smear. Many women, after receiving the all-clear from these initial tests, may be prescribed Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) to stimulate ovulation and increase the chance of releasing multiple eggs. However, if Clomid hasn’t been effective within six months, it’s often best to discontinue its use. According to a recent Cochrane review, there’s limited evidence supporting Clomid’s impact on pregnancy rates, and studies have shown that using it beyond a year may increase the risk of ovarian cancer. If Clomid isn’t successful, the next step for many is moving toward assisted fertility treatments like IUI or IVF. The prolonged journey can bring stress—emotionally, physically, and financially. This is why it’s so important to focus on both you and your partner’s health, addressing all aspects—physical, mental, and emotional—before embarking on the next stage. Optimizing your health could mean a higher chance of success with your first round of treatment. And best case, as you both focus on feeling your best, natural conception may become possible, leading to a healthy pregnancy without the need for assisted fertility methods. If you’ve been trying for a while and would like to explore natural treatment options.
Nutrition Support For IVF And ICSI Treatment
If you were to ask fertility experts what can make the most difference to IVF success, the answer would often be simple: a healthy egg and sperm. This is why so much emphasis is placed on nutrition in the months leading up to an IVF cycle—it’s the key to enhancing the quality of the “raw materials” that will ultimately become your baby.
