acupuncture and fertility?

[Mrsbebem]

I heard that acupuncture can boost fertility ... Does anyone have any personal experience with this? I'm going from what I have read online. I'm strongly considering trying it. Thanks!

Thank you both very much! I actually went to see my naturopath yesterday and she recommended changing some little things in my diet and lifestyle to help as well. I'm starting acupuncture next week. Can't wait!

I've never used acupuncture when trying to conceive on my own. Acupuncture came into the picture for me after we moved on to the next leg of the ttc journey, ivf... starting the treatment sessions before, during, and after ivf really helped me tremendously. It helped I'm ensuring proper blood flow to all vital organs and helped balance things out. When used in conjunction with fertility treatment, it's been known to increase/improve results... I've since started acupuncture again to help with weight loss since having my twin boys 13 months ago. I loved the experience then and now. ..

from what i understand, acupuncture helps with reducing stress levels and aligning your body to assist with conceiving, im not sure that it makes you more fertile but helps your body to deal with the pressures of trying to conceive. probably best to chat with someone who specialises in acupuncture for fertility and see what they say (keep in mind they will most  likely tell you they can get you pregnant but they cant actually guarantee it, its all about timing).
