CatherineI forgot to mention how long it took. For the infertility it took several months and minimum weekly treatment, sometimes more often depending on the cycle day. On a side note, I had much less cramping and pms. For the depression, I felt relaxed immediately and the mood lightened after a couple days. I think treatment for my mild depression would be best if I had it every 2-3 weeks. I forgot my husband also used acupuncture for fatigue, it took about 3 treatments before he clearly was less tired.
I think the acupunture works to help the body to correct itself so it takes a few days or weeks depending on how off-balance we are to start with.
