Sequential Therapy of TCM Herbs to Improve the Success Rate of IVF-ET in Diminished Ovarian Reserve Patients

In the early stage, our team found that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intervention aimed at Nourishing kidney and regulating blood circulation in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET) can improve the clinical pregnancy rate. In order to further study the role of TCM in improving the pregnancy outcome of IVF-ET in infertility due to decreased ovarian reserve (DOR). A randomized controlled clinical trial was used in this study. 200 infertile patients with DOR were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with conventional modern medicine, and the treatment group was treated with traditional Chinese herbs on the basis of conventional modern medicine. The intervention started from the 5th day of the first menstrual cycles after enrollment and lasted for three months before IVF-ET. After the transplantation, the TCM treatment continues for 14 days. The number of oocytes, antral follicles, anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH), serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), and clinical pregnancy rate will be observed to evaluate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on the improvement of ovarian function, pregnancy outcome, and fertility of DOR patients.
