Acupuncture can be seen as an alternative way of treating fertility problems.
Hey guys,
I just want to share my thoughts about accupunture. I strongly believe "that acupuncture can be seen as an alternative way of treating fertility problems. It can actually aids in blood flow to the reproductive organs and stabilizes hormone levels. This in turn will increase ovarian function in women as well as sperm production in men. Used as a complementary form of therapy for women undergoing other fertility treatments, acupuncture has been proven to be especially beneficial. Some believe that acupuncture works by helping women stay more relaxed through stressful fertility treatments. In particular, studies have shown that acupuncture definitely increases the rate of pregnancy in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Furthermore, women who received acupuncture also had lower rates of ectopic pregnancies."
So I am definately trying this for my second round of IVF, it cannot hurt me and it can only help. Just something to think about.

You mentioned high and low blood pressure. Do you know any thing about low blood pressure and infertility? My Acupuncturist told me that I have very low blood pressure.
So I found this site for those of you that don't know who to use http://www.acufinder.com/.
Hello everyone! I have decided to do acupuncture too. I have never even thought about doing it till now. BabyforLori thanks for all that info, those are some really good questions to ask. I really didn't even know where to begin. I will meet with my RE to discuss the third IVF cycle on 9/20. I'm not sure when we plan to do it but I am thinking maybe November. MAR13 it is good to hear from you. Good luck, SDScientist.
