Hi -
FYI here is the article I read....<br><br>"SCIENTISTS SAID they increased the success rate by nearly 50 percent in women undergoing in vitro fertilization, the procedure commonly known as the “test-tube” baby treatment.<br> The researchers, led by Dr. Wolfgang Paulus and colleagues at the Christian-Lauritzen-Institut in Ulm, Germany, said they do not know why acupuncture works and plan more studies.<br> “Acupuncture seems to be a useful tool for improving pregnancy rate after assisted reproductive techniques,” they wrote in a report published in the journal Fertility and Sterility.<br> “The analysis shows that the pregnancy rate for the acupuncture group is considerably higher than for the control group (42.5 percent versus 26.3 percent),” they wrote.<br> “If these findings are confirmed, they may help us improve the odds for our (in vitro fertilization) patients’ achieving pregnancy,” Dr. Sandra Carson, president-elect of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, which publishes the journal, said in a statement."<br>
