Summary

This study tests whether taking Gushen Antai pills, a blend of 10 herbs, can increase the chance of an ongoing pregnancy (past 12 weeks) in women with normal ovarian reserve who are undergoing IVF. 800 women will be randomly assigned to receive either the herbal pill or a placebo. The goal is to see if this supplement improves pregnancy rates after embryo transfer.
