Homeopathy offers simple solutions to fertility issues for women. Constitutional treatment is the first option for women with hormonal imbalances such as heavy periods, pre menstrual tension, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome and infertility. Menopausal problems can also be helped with constitutional treatment.
Where ovulation has been suppressed by prolonged use of the contraceptive Pill, the Homeopathic Fertility Programme is very effective in enabling women to become fertile and go on to conceive.
Emma
Emma is 24 and suffers from PMT, her periods have been heavy, painful and irregular for almost ten years. She was on the Pill for six months but it made her PMT worse so she stopped. However, her periods have been very irregular since coming off the Pill. At the first consultation, Emma told me that she didn’t feel in control of her life, her hormones ruled, her mood swings meant that she was either tearful or a tyrant. She was getting lots of premenstrual headaches and dreaded the week before a period. Taking everything into account about her health, lifestyle and personality, I gave her a homeopathic remedy to take 10 days after her period, as she’s just started her periods, this would be in a few days. Her next period arrived 28 after the last one, this was the first time for her periods to be regular. The flow was light and painless, her mood before was calm. The usual headaches, mood swings had gone and her energy levels were much improved. The next period was the same, light and uneventful. The third period arrived at 32 days, she had been very busy completing a project at work so attributed it to stress. I gave her a second dose of the homeopathic remedy, her fourth period arrived at 28 days, she will come back for more homeopathic treatment if she needs to.
Although Emma isn’t planning to become pregnant, for many women have regular periods bodes well for future fertility. A history of irregular, painful periods often goes hand in hand with unexplained infertility.
Ruth
Ruth, 32 has been told that she and her partner Justin should be able to conceive naturally, yet after two years trying for a baby, Ruth still wasn’t pregnant. Ruth had been on the Pill for 6 years before they started to try to conceive. Her periods were regular and don’t cause her any discomfort. Justin’s sperm count is average. Their doctors class them as having unexplained infertility. Ruth comes for homeopathic treatment before the consider IVF. We begin with a constitutional homeopathic remedy, after the first month, Ruth sees her general health improving, she was getting frequent viruses, they have stopped, her cycle is the same 28 days, light and painless, ovulation has not taken place as there has been no temperature rise recorded on her Basal Temperature Chart. The Homeopathic Fertility Programme is the best approach to this to re-establish ovulation when the contraceptive Pill has suppressed ovulation for sometime. After one cycle ovulation occurs, at cycle three Ruth becomes pregnant.
Last year, researchers found in a study of 119 women who used the programme that 100 healthy babies were born. This relatively inexpensive treatment is most suitable for women after use of the oral contraceptive pill and now have suppressed ovulation.
Homeopathy works well for men with fertility issues, boosting general health and in turn the ability to father a child. Other health issues can be treated as part of a personal pre conception plan for both parents.
For those couples embarking on IVF, I offer supportive treatment during this exciting, yet demanding time using homeopathic remedies.
