Hey Elsa, we do it in Dunedin which probably doesn't help sorry! ]]> Tue, 27 May 2014 19:36:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5868125&title=infertility-acupuncture#5868125 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867085&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867085 Author: Mark144690

Hi Elsa,

I'm afraid the best evidence available doesn't imply that acupuncture can improve the outcomes of IVF. I don't have access to the full paper, but here's a link to a systematic review and meta-analysis of trials testing acupuncture in this context: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22540969

Best of luck to you and your husband :)]]> Thu, 15 May 2014 16:21:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867085&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867085 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867066&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867066 Author: *Beaker*

The sperm cycle takes 90 days for sperm to fully mature, so results are generally seen after a period of time, like 6 months plus I think, so keeping up with them is a must. I have seen ladies here have improvements after a year. That and acupuncture together could be quite beneficial, but I don't think it would be a quick fix.

I think Vitamenz is pretty much the same as Menevit. My DH takes Vitamenz. They're around the same price so I think it is personal preference.

I have acupuncture for fertility and for a couple other health issues I have, and I've found it very beneficial for my well being and general health.

I hope that helps :)]]> Thu, 15 May 2014 12:25:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867066&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867066 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867046&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867046 Author: Elsa144556

Hi

Can I ask where do you do your acupuncture? ]]> Wed, 14 May 2014 22:43:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867046&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867046 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867045&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867045 Author: Elsa144556

Hi Beaker

Thanks for your reply. We have tried the menevit but not sure what what vitamens is. It seems it doesn't help too much so seeking for other ways. ]]> Wed, 14 May 2014 22:41:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867045&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867045 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867027&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867027 Author: epictraveller

Hi there,

I can't say I've heard of acupuncture helping low sperm count, but have you thought about trying Vitamenz or Menavit? People have good results in numbers and quality of these products as it provides a good environment for them to develop with all the good nutrients. You could always ask about acupuncture anyway.

Good luck :)]]> Wed, 14 May 2014 20:13:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867024&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867024 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867003&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867003 Author: Elsa144556

Hello everyone

I heard someone talked about the acupuncture so is there any one know whether it will help my husband. ]]> Wed, 14 May 2014 16:06:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44092&PID=5867003&title=infertility-acupuncture#5867003
