It really depends on your current condition. If you go for the TCM route, they will ask you for menstruation history and patterns. For example, if you have heavy or irregular menstruation, they will try to regulate that first - both in terms of timing and quantity. I heard of a case where menses was regular but heavy and painful (due to irregular and thick womb lining) - so the TCM gave meds over a couple of months to tackle the womb lining problem. This person conceived two months later!
