[quote=Anonymous]If what's holding you back is fear, please don't give in to that. It's absolutely not anything like getting stuck with needles like the needles that exist for giving injections. They are tiny, tiny, tiny needles and barely go in. Often I don't feel them at all or at most it's a very minor, very quick pinch that is over before it begins. As for "whether it works," well... it depends on the issue. Acupuncture is not going to change the quality of an egg. It's not going to give you an egg if you don't have one. It's not going to cure endrometretrosis or blood clotting issues etc. What it can dramatically impact is hormone levels and blood flow. So if you do it regularly (once a week), it's going to do things like regulate your cycle very well, ease wild hormonal swings (like after a miscarriage), increase blood flow to the uterus, etc. These kinds of improvements can definitely "boost" some women's abilities to conceive and hold on to a pregnancy. But it isn't a cure all.[/quote]
