Korean Medicine Pregnancy Preparation Timeline Guide
Eggs take about 90 days to mature, and sperm take about 72 days to be produced. For this reason, Korean medicine treatment also sets at least 3 months as its initial goal.
Dongjedang's typical pregnancy preparation protocol:
- Months 1-2: correcting constitutional patterns such as cold syndrome, blood deficiency, and blood stasis, and normalizing the menstrual cycle
- Months 3-4: strengthening endometrial thickness and blood flow with Chaksang-tang (implantation decoction)
- Months 5-6: maintaining the optimal implantation environment and monitoring the ovulation cycle
The duration may vary depending on age and underlying conditions. If IVF is planned, treatment is started by counting back from the egg retrieval cycle schedule.
