PCOS: Polycystic ovaries and a successful pregnancy

  • PCOS: Polycystic ovrarian syndrome
  • Amenorrhea: No menstruation
  • Poor health

I initially went to see Elizabeth after being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease. I did not find traditional medicine effective and turned to naturopathy. After an unsuccessful visit with another naturopath, Elizabeth was recommended to us by a family friend.

I ceased taking oral contraceptives after seven years, to start a family, but found that after a while, I did not menstruate for several months. In that time, I had a consultation with Elizabeth, who commenced me on an individualised naturopathy program. Subsequently, I began menstruating after two weeks. For the next year, Elizabeth helped me regulate my cycle and improved my general health.

Robert also went on a program to improve his health and fertility. He experienced improved energy, memory and clarity of thought. We both developed very good eating habits which we enjoy and will be with us for life. After awhile, we eventually fell pregnant. I continued taking my vitamins and continued eating well with daily exercise.

I had an excellent pregnancy, experienced only slight dizziness for morning sickness and had a good birth. My baby was born alert and healthy. I was able to breastfeed successfully and continued till after he was a year old. Elizabeth also gave me excellent practical advise about settling techniques and was very helpful about other baby questions, which nobody else could assist.

I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking natural assistance with fertility problems and falling pregnant. She has a personable manner and we enjoy each visit with her. I attribute our improved good health and our healthy baby to Elizabeth and would like to thank her for all her help.
