Mrs. L works at a hospital and has been married for nearly a year. In September of 2022, she came to NUWA TCM for a consultation to try and prepare for conceiving. Unfortunately, Covid was still running high and she showed severe symptoms like coughing with blood, chest palpitations, chest tightness, labored breathing, and a low pulse. With her medical history of nasal allergies and atopic dermatitis, she showed every sign of heart and lung qi deficiency.
NUWA TCM gave her a month’s supply of Traditional Chinese medication for relieving cough and phlegm. As her symptoms alleviated, the ratio of her fertility Chinese medicine increased compared to that of Covid’s. Mrs. L’s cycle gradually normalized, but was still presented with issues of decreased menstrual flow and symptoms of PMS. We decided to go with menstrual cycle therapy to increase her qi, activate blood circulation, and properly nourish her body after menstruation.
After two months, her PMS symptoms disappeared, and had increased menstrual flow. Her last cycle was on December 19th, and when she came in for a check-up after Chinese New Year, she noticed her cycle was already a week late. The doctor recommended her to go for a pregnancy test right then and there, and to all our surprise, there were two very firm lines! Everyone was overjoyed; it’s already been 9 weeks, and we all look forward to the baby’s arrival.
