I'm convinced it worked for me - along with a gluten-free diet. I got PG and then miscarried. Started acupuncture and did it weekly for 9 months plus 3 months gluten-free. Was starting IVF process, all ready to go and got a BFP!

Good luck and hope you get PG soon!

@CatchAFallingStar: Sadly, no. I paid OOP.

I started going to acupuncture after having two miscarriages. I was pregnant within 6 to 8 weeks of starting and am now almost 20 weeks,'which is much further along than my two losses. I am not sure I can thank acupuncture for the pregnancy progressing or for getting PG quickly (the two previous losses were both after two months of TTC). That said, I have no regrets and would do it again. It helps to feel like you are doing something that may make a difference. I paid OOP.

I had been TTC for five cycles without success. I went to an acupuncturist who told me my luteal phase was too short and something else about a cold uterus. She told me that those issues were easy to fix and that she usually has success within three cycles of weekly acupuncture and daily Chinese herbs. I got pregnant on the second cycle! It could be a coincidence, but I know from using OPKs that I ovulated a couple days earlier that I had been before the acupuncture and herbs. I think acupuncture is worth a try!

Even thought I haven't gotten my BFP yet- starting IVF, Ive been getting acupuncture for years for womens health issues and it 10% makes a difference in your period, cycles, pain, cramps, blood flow. So how could it not help fertility/ fertility treatments? I pay out of pocket so it is pricey but the feeling it gives you that your doing something positive got your body and relieving stress makes it worth it. When looking for someone who "specializes" infertility I would quiz them a little. I've gone to 3 different acupuncturists and the one I go to now I trust over my RE's he is so good and knows so much. Another one wrote a book on fertility so I trusted her too. The 3rd one gave blank stares when I explained my husbands SA results and my recent lab work- so it was a dead give away he had no idea what I was talking about so I wouldn't consider him a specialist. Good luck!
