Recurrent Miscarriage And Endometriosis

"After my pregnancy finished and I stopped breastfeeding, my endometriosis symptoms returned and I was experiencing heavy, irregular and painful periods.  I had used acupuncture previously when going through IVF and came to Lily when we moved from London to the local area.  We were hoping to conceive again and I wanted a practitioner who was an expert in fertility and treating pregnant women.

I began seeing Lily every couple of weeks and at various times of my cycle and have been seeing her since 2015.  She immediately put me at ease and her qualifications and expertise are second to none.  Her care was very helpful.  Even a small number of sessions with Lily regulated my cycle.  I fell pregnant quickly when we began trying to conceive, but unfortunately experienced three consecutive miscarriages.  Lily again helped my cycle return to normal after the miscarriages and then supported me in my current successful pregnancy (currently 31 weeks). 

Lily is an outstanding practitioner. I would recommend her (and have done) to anyone whose needs have not been met with treatment using Western medicine."

Fertility & Maintaining Pregnancy After 2 Miscarriages

"I came to Lily after suffering 2 miscarriages, I had heard that acupuncture can help with fertility and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. I had acupuncture to regulate my cycles and help me conceive. I saw Lily once a week until about 20 weeks pregnant and then once a month until our daughter was born. I came back to Lily a few years later after having another miscarriage when trying for another child. Again I saw lily regularly every couple of weeks until the birth of our son.

Lily was at all times professional and caring, she was able to use her experience and knowledge of acupuncture to help me not only to conceive and carry 2 healthy children but she also was able to give advice and keep me calm! Whenever I had other problems within pregnancy like back ache or headaches she was also able to use acupuncture to treat those. After suffering from the heartbreak of miscarriage the only time I successfully conceived and carried full term babies were the times I had acupuncture with Lily."

Miscarriage, Ovarian Cyst and Fertility

"Prior to seeing Lily, I had suffered from a miscarriage which resulted in irregular periods.  I also had ovarian cysts over a period of 2-3 months before I had my first appointment with Lily.  

I wanted to try to conceive again following my miscarriage but was advised to put this on hold whilst I waited for the cysts to shrink.  I was advised to wait for 3 months and decided to contact Lily to see if Chinese medicine could shrink the cysts without waiting for the whole 3 months.  I also wanted to get my cycles regular so that I could try again and also to try and stop another miscarriage.

Within 3 months, the ovarian cysts shrank and I had this confirmed by having a scan.  My cycles reverted back to 28 days and I was pregnant within 3 months of starting the Chinese medicine.  I stayed on the medication until I was 17 weeks pregnant which I feel went a long way to help avoid a miscarriage.

I liked the consultations as Lily involved my input into the treatments and we therefore made joint decisions on how to proceed, taking into considering my preferences and also what would be easy for me to achieve/adhere to.  Thanks for all your help Lily."
