Can you get pregnant by taking traditional Chinese medicine for irregular periods?

Patient's question:

Because of work reasons, I often go out for work, which has led to menstrual disorders. My husband has been married for over three years and is ready to have a child. Can menstrual disorders be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, Chinese medicine interference is not significant. The time of taking herbs for regulating menstruation does not matter, whether using Western medicine or Chinese medicine. It is essential to consult the doctor prescribing the medicine for clarity. The side effects of Chinese medicine for regulation are relatively minor. If pregnant, you can stop taking Chinese medicine. During irregular or dysmenorrheic periods, due to unstable endocrine levels, it is easy to cause fetal miscarriage or malformation rates to decrease. During pre-pregnancy, it should not be used to avoid drug interference with fetal growth and development.
