Started of Ramadan with beautiful news of my first ever fertility client calling to tell me she's PREGNANT! 😊
This definitely came as a shock to her, especially after being told by her G.P. and gynaecologist, that she wasn't producing any eggs and therefore would need to go on to a pill to force a period as she hadn't had a period in months, so that they could run some tests. This was going to be one very long process as the pill wasn't doing what it was meant to be doing.
She decided to start seeing me in conjunction with her conventional approach as she was starting to get agitated and frustrated with nothing happening after taking the pill, she was also experiencing respiratory issues and had been off work for a while. Fed up with nothing working, she decided she would give hijama a try.
(Should also not here that she has PCO cysts on her ovaries).
On the 12th March 2018, she had her first hijama session which was carried out on the back (sunnah points 1 and 55, lungs and lower back). She had some output in her upper back, however she had blood and Qi deficiency in her lower back.
She was given after care, dietary and lifestyle advice, that she could incorporate into her daily life.
I spoke to her the following day to find out how she was doing, she said she was okay and a bit sore. On the 17th March 2018, she messaged saying "I feel like I'm gonna murder someone, My hormones are everywhere. I want to cry, my legs are hurting, i'm super emotional and i'm picking stupid arguements."
Mood swings and emotional levels are changes some people notice over the next few days after having treatment, it's all part of the healing process. Expect to feel worse before you feel better, whilst your body readjusts it's self, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
She also started a hormone balancing diet, where she had lost a bit of weight, as she was on the heavy side for her height.
However, there was no sign of a period yet.
On the 8th April 2018, she had hijama again on her back and legs and literally nothing came out. It seemed like she was anaemic but she wasn't. Again the same changes experienced; feeling tired on edge, drained not wanting to talk to anyone, getting a tight pulling sensation above right hip. Still no period.
She was meant to see her gynaecologist during that week, but her appointment got cancelled.
A few weeks later, feeling frustrated and emotional she called her doctor to discuss what she was going through. He prescribed her some 'anxiety medication', as well as telling her to take a pregnancy test, which she was refusing to do. As every time she took a test (last being before she started hijama in March) it came out negative! She didn't want to be disheartened again, but said fine I'll do it. She did the test and to her surprise has two lines, in denial she says to her husband 'I don't want a reaction out of you, because I don't think this is right'! So she sends him to go and get a few Clear Blue tests. According to the Clear Blue test she was over 3 weeks pregnant!
Shocked she calls the doctor who said 'my suspicions were right, everything you were describing were symptoms of pregnancy'! She was booked in for an emergency scan, which revealed she was 8/9 weeks pregnant.
She called me on the 14th May 2018 in the morning, but I missed her call and forgot to return her call. On the 17th May 2018 being the 1st of Ramadan, she called again and gave me the lovely news of her expecting!!! 😊 I wanted to scream in happiness, but couldn't as I was around people.
Alhumdulillah she's in her second trimester now and still in awe!
To all those that are trying, don't be disheartened. It will happen, you've got to have faith! Everything happens at its prescribed time, not a minute before or after! Sending positive vibes your way!
Like God says 'There is a cure for everything apart from death, so seek it'. Something that may work for one person, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you, as you are a unique being. You will have to go down a few avenues before you work out what works for you!
In this case hijama helped unblock stagnated blood and Qi!
