What to do about infertility due to luteal phase deficiency

Patient's question:

Menstrual cycle is 24-25 days, period is 7 days, with primary dysmenorrhea, high temperature for 10 days, married for more than a year without pregnancy, intercourse during ovulation without pregnancy, low libido, how to get pregnant

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the primary treatment principle for luteal phase defect infertility is to tonify kidney qi and regulate the Chong and Ren meridians. This may be combined with strengthening the spleen, soothing the liver, tonifying qi and blood, or removing blood stasis.
Western medicine primarily relies on simple replacement therapy, which is inevitably one-sided. TCM focuses on holistic and bidirectional regulation to restore the body's self-healing ability, making it less prone to deviations.
Western treatments mostly involve progesterone supplementation to support luteal phase function.
