Acupuncture doesn't improve fertility?

This article about acupuncture not assisting with fertility problems suggests that it only has a placebo affect.

I swear it helped me. After visiting a fertility specialist who told me that I had one "hazy" ovary, I went to an acupuncturist for treatment. He spoke very little English, so I couldn't convey my problem to him very well. He point to my ovary area and said "Too much blood. I fix." After a couple of month's of treatment (and after an HSG), I became pregnant. Mind over matter? Maybe. But I really do believe that it helped.

I'm Back

Okay, it's been two years but I'm back.

To quickly get you up to speed...I gave birth to a healthy and highly spirited baby boy in October 2006. I've learned a lot in the last two years; I'll share the highlights on this blog.

First, for those who are even remotely interested in getting pregnant in the next year or so, be sure to get a ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor ASAP.
