You're actually telling us that acupuncture session got your wife pregnant?
Where exactly did he prick her? If it were me, I'd get a paternity test ?

What I am saying is that we tried everything the medical community recommended as treatment for infertility. After 15 years of trying we heard about a study by UCD, studying unexplained infertility in couples over 35. We applied, got accepted and did our thing.
My part consisted of a dingy trailer, and severely outdated porn.
She got tested and it came back that she had antibodies to sperm, so our best shot was invitro.
2 times, no pregnancy.
We gave up, went on with our lives until the acupuncture thing.
She was 44 when she got pregnant.
Could it have been something else? Maybe.
My daughters blood type is the same as mine, btw,AB-

I have had very good results with it regarding muscle spasms and pain. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it myself. Some practitioners are brilliant, and can demonstrate that they have hit the points, others are mediocre at best.

I'm shocked by how many people think that acupuncture is pointless.

There is no point in needling them about it either

Thirty years ago, I was in a really bad car accident and had to relearn to walk. I went to physical therapy, exercise therapy. massage ... You name it, I probably did it. I was still having severe back pains and nerve problems in my hands and my doctor suggested acupuncture. I thought it was quackery, but went along with it, if it would help me. I was like Byron and looked like a human pin cushion. Needles in my face, head, arms and hands. Then on the flip, I had more needles in my head, and in my back. I did this about 3 times a week for 2 months and then I was much, much better, almost back to normal. My acupuncturist also used moxa on my back and boy that got hot! However, it was kind of soothing.

This might be the dumbest thing I've read on this forum, ever.
Maybe it was attributed to the fact that she ate avocado toast that morning.

Are you sure your sperm was not the issue?
I would get a DNA Test, brother.

was laid out - on my back after being rear ended while on my motorcycle, at a red light.
went to an old, experienced practitioner. he was the head of the society in BC.
3rd time lucky - he hit/manipulated something - i could feel the pain shoot up - and out. end of problem.
the old guy died - been to other practitioners - never had the same positive results.
