- Improving egg and embryo quality
- IUI & IVF Support
- Lowering the stress of dealing with infertility concerns
- Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs
- Regulating hormone production

What Happens During an Fertility Acupuncture Session at Pulling Down the Moon?
An acupuncture session at Pulling Down the Moon begins with a thorough discussion of your health history and identifying your current health concerns. You will then be invited to lie down on the treatment table. Your acupuncturist will insert tiny needles into the acupuncture points that affect fertility or other health concerns you may be experiencing. These points may be on your abdomen, but many times will be on other parts of the body as appropriate to your concerns. After inserting the needles, the acupuncturist may gently twirl them slightly to further stimulate these points. It is important to us that you feel comfortable during your entire experience, so please let your acupuncturist know if there is any particular area you prefer not to treat.
During this process, you may feel a tingling or pulsing sensation. You will lie in place for about 20-30 minutes as you relax. The needles will then be removed, and the treatment will be completed.
Because PDtM is a holistic facility, we work to balance all aspects of your body, mind, and spirit during each encounter. At the beginning of each visit, we will check in with you regarding your fertility journey, what you are experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally, and then determine the best course of treatment based on the whole picture.
Acupuncture is a therapy. We hope that you feel great after every visit, but we expect that it will take multiple visits to arrive at your goals - whether that is getting pregnant, being out of pain, or just feeling more balanced. While treatment recommendations are tailored to each individual, it is common to expect an average of 1-3 visits per week.

Risks of Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture is known for its very low risk of side effects. All Pulling Down the Moon acupuncturists are licensed by the State of Illinois and are certified by the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and have extensive training in safe application of acupuncture and associated techniques. For this reason, they are able to make safe and effective choices for your care at any stage of the fertility and pregnancy journey.
Acupuncture, a time-honored practice, offers numerous benefits with very few side effects. Acupuncturists use single-use, pre-sterilized needles that they properly dispose of after each patient. Most clients don’t feel any discomfort from the needles, though there can be a temporary feeling of pain or tingling during insertion. Once the needles are placed, there may be a sensation of heaviness or tingling that comes and goes, but most often clients don’t feel anything at all at the sites during the session. Acupuncture is also safe during all stages of pregnancy, and many women find that it helps with some of their pregnancy symptoms, such as joint pain, nausea, fatigue or morning sickness.
