As many as 1 in 10 couples suffer from infertility.  This is defined as being unable to conceive a child after 12 months of properly timed intercourse.  When faced with infertility, many people turn to high-tech treatments such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization.  Such treatments are very expensive, and not every couple who wishes to have a child is willing, or able, to pay the prices charged by physicians offering such treatments.

There may be other reasons you do not wish to use high-tech methods to achieve pregnancy – religious beliefs, for example.  If you are unable to, or do not wish to, use artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, then acupuncture could be an interesting and appropriate alternative.  Acupuncture is not invasive, and does not require medication, making it a good option for use alongside other medical procedures also.
