Which points did your acupuncturist insert the needles?  Mine put needles between my thumb and index finger (vicinity, not exact), another one closer to my wrist, one between the eyes (for stress she said), two on each leg along the inside of the calf and 2 around each ankle.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I am just curious about the different points different acupuncturists use.  
Skep Doc, I think you are rude and abrasive so I am blocking you.  Not that you care since you think you are so much better and smarter than I am, but I just wanted to let you know you aren't going to get to this "fool" that you claim the world is over run with.

There is no good evidence that acupuncture has any influence on fertility.
There is no rational reason to even imagine how acupuncture could have any effect on fertility.  (Note that I said GOOD evidence..there are a couple of small and badly designed studies that showed a weakly positive effect)

How can you possibly believe that sticking a needle in your finger will make it more likely for a sperm to find your egg and implant itself on your uterus?

I don't know the answer to your question. I've considered getting acupuncture for fertility before. I was wondering if you've heard of Mayan abdominal massage or the Wurn technique.

They both sound interesting to me.
Good luck with the acupuncture.
