in-fertility quoting the article in The Times is pleased to say, it in fact more than doubles women’s chances of having a baby through IVF, according to early results from a British trial. Researchers now urge the NHS to offer the treatment routinely to all fertility clinic patients and those, trying to conceive naturally should consider it and get an advice from an expert too. One reproductive medicine expert said he had been sceptical but the results of the boost to fertility “made a convert” of him. Others said the improved pregnancy rates might be the result of a placebo effect, which, when it comes to the wish to get pregnant and have a child, does not make any difference.

Karin Gillerman, the acupuncturist who led the trial, said that the theory was that stimulating the nerves at particular points around the ovaries increased the blood flowing to them and helped the development of their follicles. We in in-fertility guess this is especially good news for all “sitting job” women and supports the idea of pelvis movement activities such as belly dance or special fit ball excercises, which are also quite popular during pregnancy.
