Accunpuncture and Infertility

Accunpuncture and Infertility

Has anyone used accupuncture for male-factor infertility, specifically low sperm count and malformed sperm?  As I've posted before, I recently had a miscarriage after my first (and maybe only) IVF-ICSI attempt, and I'm trying to find out about alternative (and less expensive!) or complementary therapies.  I'd love to hear stories of someone who was able to improve sperm quality enough to conceive naturally, or if you used accunpuncture in conjunction with IVF.  I know it's oftened used on women for infertility, and I've found two articles about it being used in men.

This doesn't really answer your question about men, but I've recently started using acupuncture and I love it.  If you have read that it can improve male fertility then I would go for it.  Most acupuncturist will give you a free consultation so you could talk to several to find one that you feel comfortable with.  You may want to start putting raw wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, and green tea in your man's diet.  These foods are full of Vitamin E, Zinc, and antioxidants, all of which are known to improve sperm quality.  Good luck.
