As good as it sounds, the ancient Chinese Medicine treatment known as acupuncture is clearly not the panacea for all fertility problems. As Dillard tells WebMD, in instances where a structural defect exists -- such as a blocked fallopian tube or a fibroid tumor -- acupuncture won't help you get pregnant.
Likewise, once past a certain age, no amount of tickling your Qi is going to increase necessary hormones that have long gone out of production.
For this reason, many doctors recommend that you have at least a basic fertility workup before attempting acupuncture treatment, particularly if you are approaching, or you are over, the age of 40.
"If it turns out you have structural problem that requires a traditional medical 'fix', then the sooner you find that out and get the proper treatment, the more likely it will be that you can get pregnant," says Dillard.
At the same time Chang tells WebMD that younger women -- those in their early to mid-30s -- might want to consider acupuncture first, before investing in expensive and invasive fertility treatments.
"Sometimes a few months of acupuncture will be enough to help you get pregnant on your own," he says.
If, in fact, you do seek acupuncture treatment be aware that not all protocols are equal.
"There is tremendous variability within the field -- with many different techniques and a great deal of the success dependant upon how much the acupuncturist knows about the treatment of infertility," says Okoronkwo.
Costs can also vary dramatically, ranging from several hundred dollars to $1,000 or more, depending on how long you are treated, and who is doing the treatment. And while many insurance companies cover the cost of acupuncture treatments, some don't when treatment involves infertility, so check your policy carefully

Q: I'd like to try acupuncture but I'm wondering if it hurts? I hate needles !
A: Acupuncture is a an ancient Chinese Medicine treatment that painlessly places a series of ultra- thin needles just under the skin in a specific grid-like pattern. The idea is to use the needles to stimulate specific energy points in the body that can work to increase blood flow and the production of natural chemicals linked to fertility.
While some women feel a slight "twinge" when the needle is inserted, most report they feel no pain at all! In fact, many women say the treatment is calming, relaxing and rejuvenating!

But even if the thought of needles sends shivers up your spine you may be a candidate for the new "electronic acupuncture" - an innovative technique that uses minute electronic impulses to stimulate the same points as the needles. This generates a slight feeling of vibration but is thought to be virtually pain-free. Many Chinese Medicine doctors now offer this alternative to traditional acupuncture.
