Can acupuncture improve fertility?

Leading fertility experts have told You & Yours that some acupuncture clinics could be misleading couples who are desperate to have a child. Some acupuncturists believe they can improve natural fertility and increase the chances of success in IVF treatment. But the British Fertility Society is concerned that the scientific evidence doesn't support these claims. Senior doctors have told us that couples could be wasting money and time that would be better spent on a medical diagnosis and treatment. Winifred Robinson speaks to an expert.
