Could acupuncture effect early pregnancy?

Could acupuncture effect early pregnancy?
Question Details: Its very possible that I am between 3 - 4 weeks pregnant with to my boyfriend, although I need to wait to find out exactly.

Currently undergoing acupuncture once a week, although my last session is next week.

I am wondering if it could affect the baby IF I am pregnant. Could it?

Only if the sterilization method used on the needles is poor, then you risk infection same as you would if you used someone else's toothbrush. Otherwise, there is no contraindication for acupuncture while pregnant. The embryo size is so small at 4 weeks, and since no chemicals are used, you are not affecting it's cellular development.
Just make sure that your practitioner uses sterile (preferably single-use disposable) needles.
