MYTHS ABOUT YOUR INFERTILITY One of the biggest myths about infertility is that it is a woman's problem. While in most cases, it is the woman who is treated. She is not always at fault. Infertility cases can be broken down to 1/3 female infertility, 1/3 a male infertility factor and 1/3 as unexplained or a combination of factors. In my practice it is rare that I treat a male for infertility. It could be because men are to proud to be men and do not allow them self to a...dmit that they maybe the problem. But, I can not say for sure. No one has studied this issue that I know about. Another myth is that women reach peak fertility in their 30's. So, most women feel that they have plenty of time to conceive. With today's busy life styes it is easy to believe this. The fact is, women's fertility peaks in her 20's and begins to decline as she ages. With a more rapid decline between ages 35-40 years old. A healthy 30 year old woman has a much less chance of conceiving then a 20 year old. While a healthy 40 years old woman has an even less chance of conceiving with each passing month. This is a result of ovarian aging, as the eggs do not stay young forever. An other myth is , if you go to a fertility clinic, you will be told that IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is your only option. This is just not true. Their are other options, such as fertility drugs with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination. Or, other more complex western medical procedures. One of the safest alternative methods to conceive is Acupuncture. While there are no scientific studies which show how Acupuncture works. There are thousands perhaps millions of babies born as a result of Acupuncture. More information on Acupuncture and conceiving can be found on my web site: www.fertilityacu.net

So, it seems obvious that Acupuncture will increas...e pregnancy rates. Due to lowering of stress. Another theory about why Acupuncture and IVF success rate is higher has to do with hormones. Some believe that Acupuncture may help with the production and release of hormones beneficial to fertility. Acupuncture treatment is relatively inexpensive when compared to IVF and offers additional benefits which will enhance the success rate for IVF.
