IUI & IVF Support
SERVING CHICAGO AND NORTH SHORE
Holistic Support for IUI
Are you preparing for an IUI with a gyne or a reproductive endocrinologist? We offer holistic options to support your cycle and beyond.
Not sure where to start? Book your Virtual Holistic Wellness consultation to learn more about our fertility expertise and how acupuncture, Fertility Enhancing Massage™, Yoga For Fertility, and nutrition can help you achieve your family planning goals.
While a 90-day window prior to insemination is ideal, our practitioners will work within your parameters to create the best treatment plan for your needs. Each of our highly specialized modalities can work separately or in tandem to
enhance egg health and
sperm quality,
restore hormonal balance, and increase blood flow to the reproductive organs. Other benefits include improved follicle growth and development plus lower overall stress for you and your partner.
Can't commit to 90 days? No worries! We'll support your fertility timeline.
Holistic Support for IVF
Getting started with a fertility clinic or reproductive endocrinologist? Our services are a fantastic compliment to your in vitro fertilization protocol!
Did you know that the life cycle of an egg is about 90 days long? That's why we recommend starting holistic treatment at least three months prior to your fresh embryo transfer or FET. In our 20+ years' experience, we have repeatedly found that clients who commit to a 12 week prep period achieve better IVF outcomes than those who don't. For those with limited time, Pulling Down the Moon will work with you to develop a plan that makes the most of your fertility journey.
Our approach to whole system wellness focuses on the dynamic connection between body, mind, and spirit. When developing your individualized treatment plan, our practitioners give careful consideration to your cycle plus any imbalances that may impact your fertility and overall wellbeing (think:
PCOS,
diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis,
low sperm count, GERD, thyroid issues, etc). We'll work together to enhance the health of your ovaries and uterus, support blood flow, improve
sperm modality and morphology, and decreases the stress that often accompanies an IVF cycle
Whether you pursue
acupuncture,
Fertility Enhancing Massage™,
Yoga For Fertility,
nutrition or a combination of services, our experienced staff will help you create a fertile environment that supports successful implantation and beyond.
Pre- And Post-Transfer Only Acupuncture Sessions
For those whose fertility plans don't include our highly specialized holistic care (either because of timing, finances, or geographic limitations), Pulling Down the Moon offers acupuncture sessions for pre- and post-transfer only. Clients may schedule a pre-and post-transfer visit around their procedure date (where our schedule allows) and receive a standard needling protocol to support successful implantation. Each session is 60 minutes in length.
These sessions are not intended to address other aspects of a client's health or TTC journey.
Our Holistic Health Services
We offer a range of services for Fertility, Pregnancy, Pain and Women’s Health. We also treat men.
