Does lack of blood affect pregnancy?

Qi and blood deficiency usually affect pregnancy.

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, qi and blood are important material bases for maintaining normal physiological functions of the human body. Sufficient qi and blood can ensure the normal operation of various organs of the body, including the normal function of the female reproductive system. If a woman has insufficient qi and blood, it can lead to symptoms such as reduced menstrual volume, irregular menstrual cycle or delayed menstruation, which in turn affects ovulation, fertilization and endometrial development, thus reducing the chance of pregnancy. Secondly, insufficient qi and blood may also lead to decreased ovarian function, affecting follicular development and ovulation process, thus reducing the chance of successful pregnancy.
