The following information is from WedMD on Acupuncture for fertility:

"One 2011 study published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine reviewed clinical trials, studies and case reports. It suggested that within a 4 month period couples with fertility issues were twice as likely to conceive using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) than they were when using Western fertility drugs or IVF.

"When talking about research we must also bear in mind the clinical evidence and research that has come from over 1,500 years of Chinese medicine treating fertility issues," says Chinese medicine expert Andrew Loosely.

"There is a great amount of evidence accumulated by thousands of practitioners in China, and around the world, who have and are helping couples to conceive their families against the odds," adds Andrew."
