Medicated Cycles
Acupuncture for Medicated Fertility Cycles in Knoxville, TN
If you’re taking fertility medications like Clomid, Letrozole, or injectables, acupuncture can be a powerful complement to your treatment. At the Tennessee Center for Reproductive Acupuncture, we offer a specialized protocol designed to support medicated cycles—naturally.
Our treatments help reduce side effects, improve hormone balance, and support ovulation and implantation—all while helping you feel calm and supported throughout your cycle.
Why Combine Acupuncture with Fertility Medications?
Fertility medications stimulate ovulation, but they can also come with uncomfortable side effects and emotional stress. Acupuncture can:
✔️ Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
✔️ Support hormone regulation and follicle development
✔️ Reduce bloating, mood swings, and other side effects
✔️ Improve uterine lining quality for implantation
✔️ Support implantation
✔️ Ease anxiety and emotional tension during your cycle
Whether you’re preparing for timed intercourse or IUI acupuncture offers gentle, evidence-based support to help your body respond well to treatment.
Medicated Cycle Acupuncture Protocol
Our protocol is tailored to your medicated cycle and the specific timing of your ovulation:
Stimulation Phase - Between Cycle Days 5–9
Goal: Support follicle growth and ease medication side effects
One session during this phase can help improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, enhance egg quality, and reduce stress and side effects like bloating, headaches, or mood changes.
Ovulation Phase - Within 3 days before or after expected ovulation
Goal: Prepare for fertilization and implantation
Acupuncture during ovulation helps support progesterone production, relax the uterus, and create a more receptive uterine lining—improving the chance of successful fertilization.
Luteal Phase / Implantation - 6–10 Days After Ovulation
Goal: Support implantation and early pregnancy
This session calms the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and helps promote healthy blood flow—supporting implantation and reducing anxiety during the two-week wait.

Acupuncture is designed to complement—not interfere with—your fertility medications.

Not necessarily. Most patients benefit from 3 targeted sessions: one during stimulation (Cycle Days 5–9), one around ovulation, and one during the luteal phase. However, we may adjust frequency based on your cycle response, medication type, or how your body is feeling.
