Acupunture increases IVF success rates (two studies)

[nanananny]

So b_w would you say you're a bit of an acupuncture success story?

We're thinking of trying this

Difficult to answer that question, futuremum!

Some would point to the fact that it took 18 months of IVF to fall pregnant, and that the acupuncture didn't really do anything to help things before we started IVF.

Others would look at the fact that we had 5 embryo transfers and a total of 4 pregnancies and a LOT of problems to overcome, but we got there. We're dealing with severe male factor infertility plus female factor infertility with one definite and two possible disorders contributing to make conception difficult and miscarriage more likely.

I do know that without the sanity-saving effects of acupuncture I'd have thrown in the towel a long time ago and wouldn't be where I am today, so I guess you can write it up as an acupuncture success, even if it did nothing to help the physical process.
