How long does it take to become pregnant after starting a TCM fertility treatment course?

Hi Pei Jie,

Thanks for the D2D. It varies with individual’s body condition.

Usually, we are looking at a time frame of 3 to 6 months to improve one’s body constitution and to prepare the body for pregnancy. Depending on individual’s condition, some takes a shorter time to conceive while others require a longer period of time.

Factors that affect the success rate include individual’s body constitution, their receptiveness towards acupuncture and Chinese herbal medication, age, stress level, diet and lifestyle.

For sub-fertile patients (women below the age of 35), typically conceive within 2 treatment cycles (The duration of 1 treatment cycle being 3 months).

For patients with more serious fertility issues such low ovarian reserves, PCOS, severe oligozoospermia (very low sperm count), severe nercozoospermia (high percentage of dead sperm), severe asthennozoospermia (high percentage of immotile sperm), it might take a longer time to conceive.

Patients with tubal occlusion (blocked fallopian tube), fibroids, azoospermia (zero sperm count) are advised to consult your gynaecologist or urologist as surgical intervention might be needed.
