The average length of time that most couples take to conceive is around 6 months and figures suggest that around one in four couples suffer from some degree of infertility.  The most frequent cause of unexplained infertility or hormonal imbalance is energy stagnation or blocked qi, which affects blood flow in the pelvic area.  Many years of emotional stress, depression, frustration, overwork, improper diet and lifestyle often play a major role in energy congestion.  Many factors affecting fertility such as recurrent miscarriage, PCOS, endometriosis and irregular menstrual cycles can all be treated with acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
