METHODS: A literature search will be conducted in 8 electronic databases. RESULTS: The efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in preconditioning patients with diminished ovarian reserve that would undergo In Vitro Fertilization will be evaluated. RESULTS: The systematic review will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TCM in IVF. CONCLUSION: The result of this study will provide reliable evidence of the use of TCM in IVF.
