There are a number of studies on line regarding the benefits of acupuncture for infertile couples. My personal experience includes 6 positive pregnancies so far during 2009. This is very encouraging. For some couples the issue is PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome) for others it is irregular periods, low sperm counts, recurring miscarriage after conception, endometriosis, or inconsistent ovulation. In my practice I provide acupuncture as a single treatment approach or as a complementary approach for couples who are working with Reproductive Endocrinologists for IUI or IVF. These couples are often using fertility drugs such as Clomid, Pergonal, Repronex, Follistim and others. A knowledge of Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Chinese Herbs AND reproductive physiology allows for specific treatment plans catered to the individual patient and their circumstances. It is a fascinating area of acupuncture practice and one that I hope will benefit many other couples.
