Acupuncture: Adjunctive therapy for IVF, etc medical papers

If anyone is interested to read about acupuncture in conjunction to fertility treatment, please let me know. I spoke to an acupuncturist today and she emailed me a lot of papers with studies conducted to see if acupuncture really has a positive effect on fertility treatment. FM if you want the papers to read.

I didn't do it.... but I really thought about it.

The literature is confusing... here is a really nice review of a few of the most commonly quoted studies, the successes and the problems with the studies:

I understand how accupuncture works in pain management, but I don't think we have a full grasp on how it works with IVF.

Because it was so $$$$$ OOP, I figured I'd give it a shot if my 1st round didn't work (but that being a personal choice).
