Summary

This is a randomized waiting-list controlled crossover trial carried out to investigate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for DOR and its potential beneficial effects on fertility. Subjects' (1) Ovarian function (AMH, FSH), (2) Bilateral AFC as shown in pelvic ultrasound, and (3) Traditional Chinese Medicine Symptom Score (TCMSS) will be recorded. It is hypothesized that a 12-week course (5 days medication per week) of TCM herbal therapy for DOR patients will improve one or more of the above aspects when compared to the waiting-list control group.
