I currently have a daughter who is 20 months, and have been trying to get pregnant now for 5 months. I have been pregnant twice before, and both times we conceived right away (first or second month of really trying). My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and the second was my daughter. We have now been trying for 5 months without any luck. I was wondering if anyone has tried fertility acupuncture. If so, I would love some recommendations on where to go.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
Hi M.,
I lead a support group for women dealing with infertility and most of the women in my group go to Pulling Down the Moon. They have all kinds of therapies for women trying to conceive. They have a few locations. Go to www.pullingdownthemoon.com
Best of luck to you.

In Oak Park--Yosef Pollack 708/445-2000. Competent, experienced and compassionate. Accupoints is the name of his practice. He has a website you can check out.
I highly recommend Kirk Moulton- he is in Chicago (Lakeview) and a couple of suburban locations (sorry- can't remember where). His number is ###-###-####. Good luck to you!
Check out China Medicine (chinamedicine.com I think) -- there's woman there whose specialty is fertility issues. She has offices in Chicago and Glenview. In Chinatown, Dr. Cai is a woman who is fantastic with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. She has great credentials and I got pregnant at 41 with her help. You can check her out at http://www.nuhs.edu/show.asp?durki=834 Good luck!
I HAVE BEEN USING ACCUPUNCTURE FOR FERTILITY FOR A LITTLE WHILE--I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE A SECOND PREGNANCY AFTER TWO MONTHS OF ACCUPUNCTURE, UNFORTUNATELY IT LEAD TO A MISCARRIAGE (BLIGHTED OVUM). BY THE WAY I WAS 41 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ACCUPUNCTURE & THE HERBS THAT THEY GIVE YOU. I GO TO DOCTOR LICAI YANG & SHE WORKS OUT OF THREE OFFICES, GLENVIEW, DOWNTOWN & OAK BROOK HER NUMBER IS ###-###-####. I CURRENTLY FOUND OUT I AM PREGNANT & WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ACCUPUNCTURE THRU WEEK 12. DUE TO MY AGE WE STARTED FERTILITY TREATMENTS & WITH THE ACCUPUNTURE HAS NOW TURNED SUCCESSFUL, SO HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT GOOD! i STRONGLY SUGGEST IT.
Here is a link to a great acupuncturist. He specializes in fertility and has a very high success rate. He's a nice guy as well.
Not sure where you live, but I used Source Healing (http://www.sourcehealing.com/site/home/). Christie Jordan is wonderful and the treatments were relaxing too! My cousin and her friends used Christie with success too and they were in their 40s when trying to conceive. It's a bit pricey but you can decide how often you would like treatments. I would use her again and now recommend acupuncture to everyone.
I highly recommend Elaine Vozar of Acupuncture Works. You can reach her via email at ____@____.com has a lovely space in Lincoln Square. I also have a # for her if you want it.
I second the reccomendation for Mary Pat Finley! She's wonderful.

I highly recommend Mary Pat Finley in the city.
I know a chiropractor in Berwyn and another near Palatine who do it. If you live near either of those places, respond and I will send you their contact info.
I have been going to a Oriental (Chinese) Medicine Doctor (OMD) for 7 years. I know she's helped many with fertility. Her name is Dr. Lisa Lau and she's at 28th & Wentworth. Here is her phone number ###-###-####. Good luck!!!
