It might very well be placebo but it helped me deeply and I can see why women that want to give it their all would try it (and that's why I don't begrudge her counting those jabs). If it helps anyone - my first cycle was without acupuncture and I barely got 4 eggs out of it. I underwent acupuncture for 3 months before my second cycle and that got me 12 eggs.

When each cycle costs about 30k USD, a lot of women with low amh, egg quality or ovarian reserve would try anything to help tweak the odds!

Yeah, including weird teas, minerals, oils etc etc.

Source: my wife, every YouTube video was with something new which "totally" change your odds. Pinky promise.

God, how I hate those people.

		The "try anything to help" argument drives me batty. How do you know acupuncture doesn't hurt your odds? For every quack treatment somebody is trying to sell you, we could come up with a million other quack treatments (rub cat fur in your eyes twice daily to improve ovulation) that you're not trying. Random unproven nonsense is as likely to hurt as it is to help. Actually, given that it's so much easier to disrupt systems than it is to improve them, random unproven nonsense is far more likely to hurt than it is to help.
