I am also undergoing my 2nd IVF as I have changed to a new doctor which lead me to do the process in Sanitorium. I was advised by the nurses at the hospital NOT to take any chinese medicine when the IVF cycle starts e.g. starting of injection or consuming medicine. The chinese medicine can mask our hormones to an unrealistic level causing confusion. Acupuncture is fine with no issues but do not consume chinese medicine once your IVF cycle starts. This was a recommendation from the nurses so I have "stopped" all chinese medicine except acupuncture!
