Notes:

For PCOS and irregular cycle, conventional medicine is controlling periods with birth control pills. However, that is only a coverup of internal problem. PCOS has several patterns to differentiate. The major is Kidney Jing deficiency. In order to prepare for the IUI or IVF, we would recommend couple of months prior to have acupuncture and herbs to regulate cycle and strengthen the development of follicles in addition to address correlated patterns such as Liver and Heart.
