There is strong evidence that acupuncture increases the production of endorphins, or brain chemicals that make you feel good and help reduce stress. Acupuncture can affect other hormone levels to increase fertility. Acupuncture also improves blood supply to the ovaries, which improves their function, and to the uterus, which can make it easier to nourish a fetus and reduce the risk of miscarriage.

Based on Chinese theory acupuncture can raise fertility potential by affecting the quality, quantity, balance and flow of Qi and blood. When Qi (life energy) and blood are circulating freely throughout the body, the internal organs are properly nourished and functioning well. Only when this energetic balance of the body is built, conception can be achieved and a healthy pregnancy will be developed.

Recently a number of scientific research have proven that acupuncture enhance fertility and help treat infertility. For example, seven scientific trials among 1,366 women of different ages with infertility showed that having acupuncture at the same time of transferring embryos during IVF obtained more than double the chance of the woman becoming pregnant. A German study with 160 women suggests that acupuncture works for fertility. They found that pregnancy rates among the women undergoing acupuncture were significantly higher than those using IVF alone. A study published in Human Reproduction found that blood flow to the uterus increases during acupuncture treatment.
