What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Risks are minimal but may include mild bruising or soreness at acupuncture needle sites, and rare allergic reactions to herbal components. As an outpatient programme, there is no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately after each session. Some women experience temporary changes in menstrual cycle or mild digestive upset as the body adjusts. The goal is to improve IVF outcomes, not to cause recovery issues, so side effects are generally mild and managed by adjusting the herbal formula.
