I did acupuncture and it helped me get pg on a natural cycle! What it can do is really increase blood flow to your uterus, which gives you a nice fluffy lining for implantation. I am a huge needle phobe and I was shaking before my first appointment, but it really didn't hurt. The needles are tiny and you barely feel them (well, you can if they get it in the wrong place, which isn't very often, but they just move the needle slightly and you don't feel a thing). And it isn't tons of needles either. I had one on each wrist, about 3 above my uterus, and about 3-4 on each leg down to ankle. Every once in a while I got a few in the ear and 1 in the head or forehead. And the face ones I couldn't feel at all. The ear ones were slightly uncomfortable for about 5 seconds. Then you just close your eyes and relax for about 20 minutes. It really is great.
My acupuncturist would also do about 10 in the back and do electrostimulation (only on the first half of your cycle) which helps with blood flow to a greater extent.
After acupuncture, my lining measurements were always much higher than before, and I would even produce more follies. I highly recommended it if you can do it. The relaxation effect alone is wonderful, but I truly believe that it can help with TTC.
