Patient Background / Story
At 33, Grace came to GinSen after receiving unexpected blood test results showing an AMH of 2 pmol/L and FSH of 15.5. She had been trying to conceive for three years and was understandably concerned by the results. A nutritionist recommended acupuncture, which led her to GinSen and Dr Li.
Grace’s fertility journey had already been challenging. She became pregnant in 2024, but unfortunately the pregnancy was unsuccessful and was also complicated by a UTI. Following this experience, she continued seeking support while trying to conceive again.
What Grace Was Dealing With From a TCM Perspective
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, Grace’s fertility concerns were considered as part of her wider health picture rather than being based on AMH and FSH results alone.
Her individual presentation was assessed to understand the TCM patterns that could be relevant to her menstrual and reproductive wellbeing. The aim was to support her overall condition, with attention to Qi, Blood and Kidney energy within the traditional TCM framework.
Her treatment plan was personalised according to her presentation and adapted as her fertility journey progressed.
How We Helped : The GinSen TCM Way
1. Acupuncture to Support Her Fertility Journey
Acupuncture formed an important part of Grace’s treatment after it was recommended by her nutritionist.
During her consultations, Dr Li considered Grace’s individual TCM presentation and used acupuncture points selected according to her needs. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is traditionally used to support the flow of Qi and Blood and to help address patterns that may be associated with menstrual and reproductive wellbeing.
For Grace, acupuncture provided regular, personalised support while she was trying to conceive, particularly after receiving unexpected AMH and FSH results and experiencing an unsuccessful pregnancy in 2024.
Her treatment was not based solely on her blood test results. Each session was tailored according to her overall presentation, with the aim of supporting her general wellbeing alongside her fertility goals.
2. Moxibustion to Complement Acupuncture
Moxibustion was incorporated alongside Grace’s acupuncture treatment.
In TCM, moxibustion involves the gentle application of heat from burning moxa near selected acupuncture points. It is traditionally associated with supporting Yang and addressing patterns of coldness, while encouraging the smooth movement of Qi and Blood.
For Grace, moxibustion formed part of the wider TCM approach to supporting her reproductive wellbeing and complemented the acupuncture sessions she received with Dr Li.
3. Massage for Relaxation and Physical Wellbeing
Massage was also included as part of Grace’s wider programme.
Fertility treatment can be an emotionally demanding experience, particularly after an unsuccessful pregnancy and difficult test results. Massage provided an additional way to support relaxation and general physical wellbeing alongside her acupuncture treatment.
Within her personalised programme, it complemented the other treatments rather than being used as a standalone fertility treatment.
4. Personalised Chinese Herbal Tea
Grace also took personalised Chinese herbal tea as part of her programme.
Rather than using a standard formula, her herbal support was selected according to her individual TCM presentation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal combinations are traditionally used to address specific patterns involving Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang.
The herbal tea complemented her acupuncture and other treatments, providing ongoing support between appointments as she continued trying to conceive.

The Result
After three years of trying to conceive and an unsuccessful pregnancy in 2024, Grace went on to successfully conceive again in 2026 following her continued fertility journey and support at GinSen.
Reflecting on her experience, she highlighted not only the acupuncture and herbal support but also the reassurance and personal care she received from Dr Li and the wider GinSen team.
Grace’s Words
“I came to Ginsen after some shock blood test results at age 33. This showed AMH of 2pmol/L and FSH of 15.5. I came to Ginsen after my nutritionist recommended acupuncture.”
“Dr Li was also very reassuring throughout the whole process. I also took their herbal tea. The lovely receptionist also checked in throughout my pregnancy and birth asking for updates. I can’t thank the team at Ginsen enough!”
