Pre-conception TCM supportive care

How TCM Views Infertility

TCM attributes infertility to kidney deficiency, insufficient qi and blood, liver stagnation, phlegm-dampness and blood stasis. Modern stress-related difficulty is common: high work pressure, irregular schedules, excessive dieting or exercise can disrupt chong-ren, leading to scanty or delayed menses and luteal phase insufficiency.

PCOS, thin endometrium and recurrent biochemical pregnancy may be addressed through pattern-based care. Dr. Ng reviews menstrual cycles, basal body temperature, prior test reports and partner factors to design a personalised pre-conception plan.

TCM emphasises "prepare the soil before sowing the seed" — first improving maternal constitution and uterine environment, then aligning with appropriate timing. This can complement reproductive medicine; some patients use TCM as supportive care alongside Western treatment. Outcomes vary by individual.

Care Plan and Acupuncture

Herbs such as modified Gui Shen Wan, Zuo Gui / You Gui, Wen Jing Tang and Xiao Yao San are used in cycle phases: post-menstruation for yin-blood nourishment, ovulation for kidney-warming support, pre-menstruation for liver-soothing regulation. Acupuncture commonly uses Guanyuan, Qihai, Zhongji, Sanyinjiao, Taixi and back-shu points to support endocrine balance.

Before and after IUI or IVF, TCM may offer supportive care to help endometrial quality, ease medication-related discomfort and reduce emotional stress. Dr. Ng cross-references your Western reports to ensure safe prescribing.

Care is typically recommended for three to six months or longer, observing menstrual regularity, basal temperature and overall wellbeing. Partners with low sperm motility may also receive kidney-tonifying herbal support.

Pre-conception often involves emotional ups and downs — liver-soothing and spirit-calming TCM methods may help reduce psychological pressure so the body can rest in a more receptive state.

FAQ

Questions patients ask

Many people coordinate with reproductive care — bring reports and medication lists so timing can be discussed. Results vary.

It depends on history and labs. Sometimes parallel lifestyle or kidney-tonifying support is discussed at consult.

We use private waiting — one guest at a time. See the clinic environment page.

As a general guide, couples under 35 who have been trying for a year without conception, or over 35 for six months, are advised to have basic fertility investigations first — ovulation, tubal patency and semen analysis. TCM can run before, during or after those investigations, but it does not replace them. Knowing whether there is a clear structural or hormonal factor makes any subsequent plan far more focused.

Yes, and many patients do. The important part is that both sides know: tell Dr. Ng which stage of the cycle you are at and what medications you are taking, so herbal prescriptions can be adjusted or paused around stimulation and hormonal drugs. Equally, let your fertility specialist know you are taking Chinese herbs.

A regular cycle does not necessarily mean there is nothing to work with. Assessment also considers flow, colour, cycle length, breast tenderness or mood changes before menstruation, fatigue afterwards, and basal body temperature patterns. Whether treatment is appropriate, and in which direction, is determined at consultation rather than from cycle regularity alone.

Follow-ups are usually arranged around the menstrual cycle — roughly two to four visits per cycle rather than a fixed weekly appointment — because prescriptions typically change across cycle phases. How long varies considerably with age, constitution and whether you are also undergoing assisted reproduction. Two to three cycles is a common initial review point. Results vary between individuals.
