IVF and TCM

We were knocking on doors of various TCM doctors but none were able to help us conceive naturally.  In any case, my current TCM doctor, who came strongly recommended by my mother, is a family doctor for one of her close friends.  If I had learn 1 thing from my 3 years of seeking help from various TCM doctors, it would be to just follow what your parents recommend.  If not, they will keep buzzing the same message -  your current TCM doctor is not good.  I eventually relented and now everyone has a peace of mind.

But having said that, I do click very well with my current TCM doctor.  Every visit had been a breeze for the last 10 months.  I get medicine in individual packs of powder - 2 packs a day.  Acupuncture is administered occasionally (about 3-4 times in 1 month) during key periods e.g. to encourage ovulation or regularise my period.

The TCM treatment during my IVF treatment - quite routine like previous visits.  I was given medicine before my period.  No medicine during the period and started another set of medicine once period stops.  The table below summaries the current plan:
