Case study: absent periods and irregular periods – balance restored in just 3 months

Heather, aged 30, came to see me because of irregular and absent periods that had left her desperate to get her hormones back on track.

Her last period was 153 days late and caused extreme pain and distress. She has had irregular menstrual cycles and absent periods most of her life. The doctors had prescribed her the contraceptive pill in her teens but six years ago, she decided she wanted to come off it. While she had no immediate plans to start a family, she was keen to start preparing her body for one.

She was health-conscious and took care of herself but no matter what she tried over those 6 years her periods never stabilised. She felt let down by those who’d prescribed the pill without addressing the root cause of the problem.

Heather and I worked together for 3 sessions and she took the remedies I prepared for her for 3.5 months. She went off travelling around the world and kindly updated me in an email…

“Hi Eileen,

I am conscious that I seemed to have just fallen off the side of the earth since we last spoke…so I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how I have been doing.

As you know my period dropped from 153 days to 58 days after my first month of remedies.

After my second month of remedies, my period went back to 33 days. I continued on the remedies for another 6 weeks and then stopped.

Since then (now 4 months on), I have had regular periods of 33/34 days and I am showing all the signs of ovulation mid-cycle.

For the first 3 months of my period returning, I had incredibly sore, swollen breasts for the last 14 days of my cycle, but this has really eased during my last 2 cycles, so perhaps it was just my hormones settling again.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your help. I felt so lost and out of options when I first started working with you. I didn’t expect the remedies to work so effectively and so quickly!!

Thanks again for your help, Eileen, and for actually listening to me after years of feeling like doctors never did”.
