For many of our patients, the road to transfer day is paved with years of hope and the logistics of travel. Whether you are arriving for embryo adoption at the National Embryo Donation Center or a cycle at another clinic like Rejoice Fertility, we understand that transfer day is a crucially important day. Because Knoxville is a global destination for embryo donation, our clinic has become a specialized home base for those traveling from across the country. We don’t just offer acupuncture; we offer a fertility-friendly sanctuary designed to bridge the gap between your care at home and here in Knoxville.

Our process is built with the unique needs of infertility treatment in mind. Our treatments act as physical and emotional support, using evidence-based protocols to calm the nervous system and encourage optimal blood flow to the uterus. We help create the internal environment your embryo needs to thrive.

Our scheduling is flexible; we stay late, open early, and work weekends to ensure we are available for your transfer even if it is last minute. We provide a warm, private space where both you and your partner can exhale, knowing that every detail of your transfer support is being handled by experts who understand.

Women struggling with PCOS, insulin resistance, and irregular cycles can find natural support through Ovasitol, a research-backed inositol powder. By utilizing a specific 40:1 ratio of myo-inositol to d-chiro-inositol, Ovasitol mimics the body’s biochemistry to improve insulin sensitivity, enhance egg quality, and promote regular ovulation. At Tennessee Reproductive Acupuncture in Knoxville, we recommend this NSF-certified supplement as a foundation for hormone balance and fertility, helping you restore internal harmony and improve overall ovarian health.

Research supports the use of acupuncture before and after embryo transfer. In a well known study, acupuncture done before and after embryo transfer resulted in higher rates of pregnancy (42.5% in the acupuncture group versus 26.3 in the control group). This study gave us the well known “Paulus Protocol” that we base many of our pre/post transfer treatments on. Although, we typically add or subtract points depending on each patients’ diagnosis and symptoms.

Conflicting evidence exists on whether acupuncture is beneficial for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. This retrospective cohort study was undertaken to determine whether a unique protocol of a combined Chinese and Japanese style on-site acupuncture, performed both before and after embryo transfer, affects clinical outcomes.
