I have had two treatments of acupuncture in my quest for a baby. I have low progestrone and random cycles so this was suggested. The homeopath took a sample of my hair to test and came back to me saying my left ovary functions to 90% capacity and right ovary to only 10% capacity. This has made me sad and not good about my chances. I wish i could leave well alone and leave it up to gods way instead of trying to find answers and solutions because often i end up feeling disappointed and like its never going to happen. They also said that I need to get more blood flow to my uterus. Anyone had any experience with homeopathy/acupuncture and can suggest how much i should take on board from them/??? Many thanks x x

Acupuncture for fertility has helped a number of couples get pregnant despite years of trying and failing to have a baby.   Although Western medicine cannot explain exactly how it works, research shows that acupuncture and fertility have a beneficial relationship, especially when it comes to artificial reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
