Conception?

Emily asked:
My partner and I have been trying to conceive for a couple of years, now. We have ascertained that it is something to do with my body mechanics (he is fine in that department!). Someone has suggested that I consider acupuncture, as it has been shown to be helpful with infertility issues. Why is it so effective though?

I feel strongly that acupuncture helped me get pregnant. I had been trying for almost five years before I went to an acupuncturist. It didn’t take long after that! I loved getting treatments, and fell asleep almost every time. Psychologically, I think the acupuncture just allowed me to relax and not stress so much about the process. Physiologically, acupuncture is said to increase the blood flow to the area, and release any tension there, as well.

I was researching this too as I think we are going to need to do IVF. Apparently many IVF doctors suggest it along with IVF and IUI to relax and stimulate the reproductive organs/hormones. I have read that your chance of BFP (at least with IVF) goes up a decent percentage if you also do acupuncture. I believe it- I will do it if we have any money left over
Good luck to you!
