Acupuncture for Fertility: Have You Tried Acupuncture?

Monday November 3, 2008

Acupuncture may be the best known alternative medicine treatment for infertility. Whether or not acupuncture can help you get pregnant is a matter of debate, but that doesn’t keep me from being curious.

When I think of tiny little needles being placed in my body -- voluntarily, of all things -- I can’t imagine it being a positive experience. But those who have tried acupuncture say it’s relaxing.

Despite my fears, I may just take a leap and give acupuncture a try some day. It’s interesting what baby-fever will get you to do.

Have you ever considered trying out acupuncture? Or would you rather pass? Take our poll and let us know. (You'll find the poll at the bottom of this blog post.)
