I hateneedles but LOVE acupucture. Go to someone who specializes in infertility. If you donKt know one ask your re, mine had smeone they recommended. I didn't take any herbal supplements as they didn't know how they would work with the injections. I did follow the diet in the book and the acupuncturist saw a change in my tongue the next week. Idropped 15 pounds and no longer craved sweets. Turns out I had a cold uterus which was taken care of with heating pads. I am a firm believer in acupuncture!

Yes, I am also a firm believer of acupuncture. I first started going last year and the acupuncturist wanted my cycles to run longer in duration and have a heavier flow. Typically mine were only 3 days long and usually pretty light. After a couple sessions, the following month, they were heavier and lasting 5 days.
Acupuncture helps with blood flow, energy, and a number of other things depending on what the focus is. If you're wanting it for fertility, make sure to go to someone that specializes in fertility, if not, it can do more damage than good. I'm incorporating it into my IVF cycle and I have a friend that went through IUI's and IVF, on her second IVF she started doing acupuncture regularly and got pregnant that round. She continued it through her first trimester and carried to term.
During one of my visits to my acupuncturist, i had some back pain. While dealing with my fertility portion, she also did my back and i had less pain when i left. It truly is amazing.
Like Robin, i have also found it to be very relaxing. I'm also fearful of needles, but it is surprisingly very relaxing and something that i look forward to. my recommendation would be to just try it. Go at least twice and I guarantee you will see or feel a difference. Just my 2 cents
I agree with sine4me.... give it a shot try it a few times if you don't feel better after them then stop. What can it hurt?

If you are saying that your partner has male factor fertility issues, then he is the one that would need acupuncture, not you.
I would tell them. Mine were supportive but I felt that full disclosure just made sense for me.
