I tried acupuncture when I was trying to conceive end of last year after reading about it in the local Chinese daily. The chinese physician used several needles that tries to stimulate the sexual organs, in my case the ovaries. She also gave me accounts of couples whose husbands had low sperm counts or the wives had irregular menses who became pregnant after going through some cycles of acupuncture. The impression I got was the result might be quite fast. Anyway I tried for the acupuncture treatment. But my goodness, it was the ultimate pain!! You would not want to move any part of the body when the needles are inside you even if there is itch. And then a hot lamp is used to shine on the needles. It could get quite hot. And the cost was not cheap in total after all the cost of the oral medications is included. I had to fork out near 100 bucks per treatment.
I went for the treatment after work and the treatment time was about an hour excluding waiting time. I only went for about 4 courses of treatment thinking that it will not work. The strange thing is that I conceived 2 months later without other treatment!! Restrospectively I believe that it contributed somewhat to my conception.
It might be worth a try for those who are at their wit's end of what to do next??
