If you are considering acupuncture, cupping and taking Chinese/Asian herbs as a complement to your fertility objectives, I would recommend it.
My wife and I were nearly 80% completed in the process of fertility options when we took the extra step of including acupuncture. My wife’s mother had strongly recommended it. Any skepticism I might have had regarding acupuncture was dwarfed by the impact that not having children would have been.
So, back in 2004/5, my wife and I began a program of acupuncture, herbs and cupping with Dr. Miki Shima and Karen Reynolds. We followed our directions while at the same time we went to church more often and we were going to the Pacific Fertility Center in SF. A few months later we were pregnant with twins.
We believe it all contributed to our successful outcome. Today, our twin 10-year old boys are perfect healthy, awesome, smart kids.

I will never be able to thank Karen enough for her work in helping me get pregnant.
After only a few months of treatments my once intermittent and elusive menstrual cycles started to become routine. She placed acupuncture points that also relieved the stress and anxiety I was feeling from the conversations my husband and I were having evaluating IUI and other medical fertility treatments.
Karen instilled a calming sense of patience and optimism and I was overjoyed to share the news with her when I became pregnant shortly after my cycles regulated. I continued treatments throughout the pregnancy to help me with the insomnia and back labor, meanwhile she did points to aid in the growth and overall health of the baby.
We welcomed a healthy, strong and beautiful baby boy last Spring and will be forever grateful to Karen for helping make us a family.
