In the Western medicine, a woman’s ovulation can be affected - be it irregular ovulation or lack of ovulation - if she has hormonal imbalance problem. But if you ask a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner, he or she will add on that even how fast your heart beats (pulse rate) can have an effect on the production and release of your ovum.
I didn’t make this up, that’s what my TCM doctor told me. He said my heart beats faster than normal, and slightly irregular. That, will not promote the healthiest egg production and normal ovulation. Eeeks!
Luckily I didn’t have any tight chest symptom, otherwise it might indicative of a heart problem! I hope the next time he won’t tell me that I didn’t have adequate oxygen in my blood, otherwise I would have to buy a pulse oximeter to check my own blood saturation level. 
(A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a person’s blood without having to take blood sample.)
You see, there are so many things that a TCM practitioner can tell you by examining your pulse rate - bad blood circulation, heavy or lack of vaginal secretion, inflammation at the hip, etc - without running the typical physical examination or blood tests like what the Western medicine doctors do. And they will tell you to adjust your diet in a way that is not likely to be advised by your typical nutritionist or family doctor.
It may sound unconventional, but TCM is actually treating a person holistically by finding out what the root problem is, and not just trying to eliminate the symptoms. If you have been suffering from some illness and haven’t got any better from your medications, may be you can try TCM to see if it could benefit you somehow.
