Are you currently going through, or have been through IUI, IVF with no success? Have you tried Clomifene and nothing? Or is it that your blood tests and scans are not revealing much? Are they confirming PCOS? Have you been told you are healthy and you just have to keep trying? Why aren’t you getting pregnant?

Your body won’t allow the process of menstruation, ovulation and pregnancy unless all is working physiologically as it should. More than ever we are leading busy, stressful lives, not eating as well as we could, lacking sleep, low in iron/zinc/vitamin D, taking the contraceptive pill for long periods of time, exposed to many toxins in our environment, our food and the list goes on……

PCOS is becoming more prominent, with Metformin being prescribed to help lower insulin & blood sugar levels. It manages the symptoms but doesn’t fix the PCOS. The oral contraceptive pill may also be prescribed to help with the side effects of PCOS such as facial hair growth and acne.

However, these methods can only provide relief for those with PCOS - stop the treatment and the symptoms return. You are still no closer to achieving a pregnancy.

• Irregular, poor or no ovulation

• Stress hormones - these can block your reproductive hormones which are required to ovulate and menstruate e.g. FSH, LH. If your body doesn’t feel it has the right conditions to allow ovulation, it won’t or it will be delayed

• Food intolerances, reactive immune system, toxicity (alcohol, smoking), lifestyle factors

• Digestive issues & function (have a huge role to play for hormonal function)

• Undiagnosed PCOS

• Long term effects from contraceptive pill (can take some women very little time to ovulate again and others up to 18 months or longer)

Your first homeopathic consultation is very in-depth. The usual length of an initial consultation is approximately an hour and a half to two hours duration. You will be asked the reason for your visit (even if you have completed an intake form prior, we still like to confirm), how long you have had your ailment/issues, your health and medical history, family health history, whether you have any allergies or food intolerances, quality of your sleep, questions regarding your menstrual cycle and any issues regarding your fertility - to name a few! I will ask you to bring copies of blood tests and/or scans if you have had tests done.

As a Homeopath, I am interested in the ‘whole’ person in front of me, regarding physical, mental and emotional health equally important. It’s really important for me to know what is going on for you emotionally as well as physiologically. I work by seeking to find the ‘disturbance’ helping to support overall health equilibrium. Physically you may be very well, emotionally you may be struggling - let’s find out what is really going on.

I am able to work alongside your GP/Specialist/Fertility assistance. Please do be aware we do not ‘treat’ or ‘diagnose’ therefore, are not able to run blood or other medical tests. Interpreting the results we can do.

Ask yourself the following:

• Would you like to understand more about the menstrual cycle, fertility, signs of fertility, why the length of your luteal phase matters if trying to conceive, what your basal body temperature has to do with ovulation?

• Would you like to improve your chances of conception before you seek medical assistance?

• If you are already seeking medical assistance, would you like to boost your chances of conception with this programme?

• Would you like to have ongoing support with a registered Homeopath who specialises in reproduction and has expertise in reproductive health and natural fertility?

• Have you tried everything else and now ready to pursue a holistic perspective?

• Comprehensive first consultation covering health, medical, family history - both yourself (and partner, if applicable) - plus 4 follow up consultations throughout the programme.

• Full 3 sessions learning the Sympto-thermal method (STM) - this is a method that uses daily recording of your basal body temperature, the observation and awareness of cervical mucus and changes in the cervix (cervical palpation) to reveal what is happening physiologically. This method can show us if you are ovulating and when (from chart to chart), the length of your cycle, the length of your luteal phase (day of ovulation to the day before your next period begins) and if you are producing fertile mucus.

• Once I have this information - I create a fertility plan UNIQUE to the information provided from your daily charting. This plan includes several homeopathic remedies to be included on a daily and weekly basis, the use tissue salts (minerals), supplements and the continuation of your daily charting. Why?

• Without any of this physiological information - as both a registered homeopath and accredited fertility educator, I could be making a wild guess and trying every homeopathic remedy and supplement under the sun with fingers crossed. BUT - with daily information via charting to work from, I make decisions about your fertility programme that is designed to work with whatever is going on FOR YOU.
