Preparing Your Body for IUI or IVF: A 3-Month Herbal Support Protocol
Your cycle is scheduled. Now what?
If you have an IUI, egg retrieval, or embryo transfer on the calendar, you've probably already done a lot. Appointments, labs, protocols, decisions. What's often missing is a plan for what you can do at home, in your own kitchen and on your own schedule, to prepare your body for the initiation ahead.
That's why I developed our IUI/IVF Prep & Support Bundle. It's a complete three-month protocol rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, designed to work alongside your medical care. Many of the women we serve are working with a reproductive endocrinologist and an acupuncturist at the same time; this bundle brings that integrative approach home.
Why start three months out?
In Chinese medicine, we don't just show up on procedure day. We prepare our body for the process. The three months before your IUI or retrieval date are a window to encourage your liver to process hormones efficiently, clear stagnation and blood stasis from the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, and nourish the womb so it's warm, receptive, and ready. Starting early matters because each phase builds on the one before it. Clearing comes before nourishing, the same way you'd prepare soil before planting.
The month-by-month protocol
• Month 1 — Clear and detox. Detox Tea encourages the liver to metabolize hormones efficiently, creating a clean foundation. Begin womb massage with Womb Healing Massage Oil and castor oil packs.• Month 2 — Move and circulate. B*tch's Brew Tea works to move stagnation and support Qi and Blood flow to the reproductive organs, while Fertile Mama Tea begins nourishing the uterus.• Month 3 — Nourish and warm. Continue Fertile Mama Tea to nourish the womb and tonify kidney yang energy — the warmth TCM associates with the body's capacity to hold and sustain a pregnancy.• Post-transfer / insemination. Womb Warming Tea and Blissful Mama Tea support warmth, calm, and the gentle "up and in" energy of this tender waiting phase.
Your timeline, your protocol
Three months is the ideal runway, but it's not the only one. Our products can support you wherever you are:
• Less than three months to prepare? The included guide shows you how to condense the protocol so you still get clearing, circulation, and nourishment before your date.• Preparing for an egg retrieval or freezing your eggs? The focus shifts to the preparation phases — supporting hormone metabolism and nourishing follicular health in the months before retrieval.• Preparing for a frozen embryo transfer? With retrieval behind you, the emphasis moves to warming and nourishing the womb to create a receptive environment for transfer day.
And if your situation doesn't fit neatly into any of these — a canceled cycle, a changed protocol, back-to-back retrievals — reach out to our Moon Sisters on the customer support team. They're well-versed in every kind of IUI/IVF scenario and can build a tailored tea and product protocol that meets you exactly where you're at.
The supporting practices
• Womb Warming Moxa — supports the clearing of energetic blockages and encourages uplifting energy. The guide includes moxa point charts.• Ear Seeds — invigorate and bring energy to the reproductive organs; placement charts included.
• Womb massage with Womb Healing Massage Oil — a daily hands-on ritual of warmth and circulation for the womb.• Mermaid Bath and Fertile Mama Soak — restorative soaks to support the body through each phase.
Every step is laid out in the detailed guide, so you always know what to use, when, and why.
