Hi
I have a client who unfortunately had a miscarriage in Jan. She is going through a tough time at the moment with various other personal circumstances with family members and a stressful job as a teacher of special needs children.
I have now treated her with 3 sessions of reflexology. Each and every time her ovaries and sometimes uterus has been quite swollen. This lovely lady is not a slim person she is not very tall but has been told by her doctor that she may conceive easier if she were to lose weight. She does not eat much so her GP has looked into a medical condition and she is also having blood tests.
Firstly should I have treated her after given blood today ? It was not a huge amount given.
Secondly why are her ovaries constantly swollen - would this be due to her weight do you think? On all three ocassions she was not having a period. She is not sure if she is ovulating - this is another reason for her blood tests to check if ovulation is ocurring at all. Her cycle can range from 31 days to 47. She can get pregnant and at the moment there does not seem to be any medical problem as to why. She is very stressed and tense and I wonder if this is the blockage to why she is not conceiving.
Did this make sense?
Many thanks for your advice.

Hi Tracey
It could be this lady has benign cysts on her ovaries or polycystic ovary syndrome which all can cause infertlility.
it would be interesting to know how old this lady is as other influences such as age, hormones and thyroid problems can affect her chances of conceiving.

Hi Nicola
She is 28. She did have a problem with her thyroid years ago but is sorted itself out. She is overweight and has been advised by her doc to lose a little, otherwise she is healthy. There does not seem to be a medical problem at this stage as to why she cannot conceive. Her hubby has been checked out too.
It is rather odd. Or is it?
Thanks
