Acupuncture has a long history in Chinese medicine. It is often referred to as the art of healing. It works counter-intuitively by sticking needles in your body parts.

The theory is that it works by stimulating certain parts of the body’s immune system in order to correct problems in the patients.  In today’s world, many women attempting to get pregnant, try acupuncture and infertility cures in the hope that it will help. And, amazingly, sometimes it does seem to work.

For best odds, it is typically recommended that a women receive acupuncture for a period of three to four months before insemination – which can be by natural means or in vitro fertilization. Your physician and acupuncturist can give you more accurate information as studies are constantly being done to determine the circumstances and conditions best suited to result in pregnancy.
