Case 1 – Late Ovulation
Catherine, 30, tried to get pregnant for two years without success. She was about to go to her GP for infertility investigations when she met Deirdre. They established that Catherine ovulated late in her cycle, usually around day 17/18. In previous months she and her husband were so sick of trying by that point that they had usually given up! Armed with this new information Catherine got pregnant 5 weeks later and went on to have a healthy baby girl.

Case 2 – Low Progesterone Levels
Mary, 34 has been trying to conceive for 5 years. She and her partner have been told they have Unexplained Infertility. Mary already knew the basic principles of fertility awareness but needed some support. Working with Deirdre it was possible to determine that Mary’s progesterone levels were too low to sustain a pregnancy. She found this reassuring because it gave her a diagnosed problem to focus on. She is now trying to improve her hormone levels using Acupuncture alongside traditional medicine.

Case 3 – A Simple Solution
Sue, 42, had been trying to get pregnant for two years. She assumed that she was too old and was about to give up. After two sessions with Deirdre she learned that she was still ovulating regularly but that she did not produce much cervical fluid, essential for conception. She used a simple over the counter remedy to solve this problem, eased up on her work schedule a bit and was pregnant 2 months later. At 45 she is now the mother of two healthy children.
