The evidence for acupuncture’s effectiveness in IVF has always been hugely variable. BMJ systematic review in 2008 indicated increased clinical pregnancy rates of 65%, other studies in the same year suggested 35% and of course there is this trial and others suggesting no effect. Such variability suggests problems with trial design which is an ongoing problem in acupuncture.

I like how nobody in this ‘documentary’ explained how, exactly, acupuncture aids conception.
of course simply feeling more relaxed can help, but this is psydo-science and simply not news-worthy.
This will give false hope to women trying.
