A 37-year-old woman, married for four years, wondered why conception seemed effortless for others while she struggled. When one of her menstrual cycles lasted 15 days, she consulted her gynecologist. After ruling out pregnancy, the doctor diagnosed a hormonal imbalance and prescribed a three-month course of contraceptive medication. A subsequent scan confirmed polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and she was advised to undergo laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.
Seeking a specialist’s opinion, she proceeded with the lapro-hysteroscopic surgery after confirming its feasibility through preliminary tests. The procedure, performed under general anesthesia, lasted about 30 minutes. Alongside post-operative care recommended by her surgeon, she also opted for Reiki therapy to aid recovery.
Her doctor then suggested assisted reproductive techniques (ART) to help with conception. While continuing Reiki treatment daily, she underwent two cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI), but unfortunately, both attempts were unsuccessful. Since ART involves direct hormone injections, she relied on Reiki to minimize side effects and maintain balance in her body and mind.
To uplift their spirits, she and her husband decided to take a 10-day vacation. They relaxed, ate well, and explored new places. Miraculously, upon returning home, she discovered she was pregnant. However, the joy was short-lived. The very next day, she experienced severe stomach pain, and the doctor suspected a self-abortion. A second opinion confirmed the heartbreaking news. The doctor advised her to wait at least six months before trying again. Though it was a painful setback, it gave them hope for the future.
After six months, she attempted two more IUI cycles, but both failed. On the verge of losing hope, her doctor suggested in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which had a 40% success rate. She and her husband decided to proceed, continuing Reiki as a complementary therapy. After 10 days of anxious waiting, the beta-HCG blood test confirmed the pregnancy! The doctor advised them to keep the news private for the first three months and to proceed with caution. Reiki treatment continued as an additional measure of support.
At seven weeks, they heard their baby’s heartbeat for the first time—a moment of pure joy. At 10 weeks, they saw the umbilical cord clearly in the scan. By the three-month mark, the baby lifted its feet as if waving hello to its parents. The doctor reassured them that the pregnancy was progressing normally and advised them to seek antenatal care from a gynecologist for the remainder of the pregnancy.
Upon consulting a specialist at a reputed hospital, routine ultrasounds began. At six months, she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to monitor her sugar levels while taking insulin injections. The doctor reassured her that delivering a pre-term or lower-weight baby was acceptable given her medical history. Reiki treatment continued consistently throughout the pregnancy.
Excited about their baby’s arrival, the couple joined antenatal classes to prepare for childbirth. At 33 weeks, she was admitted to the hospital due to a suspected amniotic fluid leak. Doctors administered steroids to aid the baby’s lung development, keeping her under observation for 48 hours. If complications arose, they were prepared to proceed with an early delivery. Fortunately, Reiki seemed to work in her favor, and she was discharged safely after two days.
Determined to carry the pregnancy to full term, she successfully did so for another four weeks. Finally, she gave birth naturally—with epidural and vacuum suction assistance—to a healthy baby girl weighing 2.9 kg. The new parents were overjoyed to meet their little miracle.
Due to her gestational diabetes, the baby was placed under NICU observation for 12 hours. Meanwhile, the mother experienced swelling in her right leg and fever during labor, both of which subsided the following morning. Within 48 hours, the proud father walked out of the hospital with his healthy newborn and a fully mobile, radiant mother.
A 37 year old woman married for 4 years wondered why she has not been able to conceive while it seems to come so easily to other women. When one particular menstrual cycle lasted for 15 days, she met her gynaecologist, who said, after ruling out pregnancy, that this is a sign of hormonal imbalance and advised a course of contraceptive medication for 3 months. Later, she did a scan to confirm her diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome and advised lapro-scopy and hystero-scopy.
She consulted a specialist doctor and underwent a lapro-hystroscopic surgery after confirming the feasibility of the treatment with some tests. The operation lasted about 30 minutes with general anaesthesia. Along-with recommended post operative care by the surgeon, she took reiki therapy as an aid for better recovery.
The doctor then suggested assisted reproductive techniques (ART) to conceive from the next menstrual cycle. She continued with the reiki treatment everyday and tried 2 cycles of Inter-Uterine Insemination (IUI) which were unfortunately unsuccessful. Any assisted reproductive treatment involves injecting direct hormones into the body. She continued with the reiki treatment to minimize any side effects of the ART and also maintain equilibrium in body and mind.
She and her husband decided to uplift their moods and go on a holiday. During their 10 day break, they ate well, slept well, saw new places, and had fun. This worked well for them and miraculously, she was pregnant by the time they flew back home. They went to the doctor to confirm the news which of course was true. Unfortunately, the very next day she was down with strong pain in the stomach, the doctor said that this may be a case of self-abortion. They went for a second opinion but the other doctor also confirmed the sad news. The doctor also advised not try to conceive for the next six months. It was an unfortunate situation but it raised hope for the future.
After six months, she attempted two more IUI cycles, but both failed. On the verge of losing hope, her doctor suggested in-vitro fertilization (IVF), which had a 40% success rate.
