Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I have a child while taking traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
You can have children while taking traditional Chinese medicine. My sister-in-law also got pregnant by taking traditional Chinese medicine. It should be fine, and you can still take it during your menstrual period, but it's best to avoid it. For calculating ovulation, if your menstrual cycle is regular, you can count 14 days before or after the first day of your period as the ovulation day. The days 5 days before the ovulation day and 4 days after it are also considered part of the ovulation period.
