Understanding Fertility & Pregnancy

From a clinical perspective, fertility and pregnancy depend on:

  • Hormonal balance (oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone)

  • Regular ovulation and cycle timing

  • Egg quality and ovarian function

  • Sperm quality (count, motility, morphology)

  • Blood flow to reproductive organs

  • Nervous system regulation

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is supported by the strength of the Kidneys, Liver, and Blood, which regulate reproductive function, cycle stability, and pregnancy support.
