Infertility treatment requires patience: ① minimum recommended duration: 3 months (one full ovulation/cycle), ② basic plan: 6 months (improves egg quality), ③ comprehensive treatment: 12 months for stubborn cases, ④ post-pregnancy: continue 1–2 months for fetal stability. Egg maturation takes ~3 months, so this is the minimum response time. After 6 months without pregnancy, reassessment is recommended; combined Western fertility treatment may be advised.
