Ok, it sounds hokey... but MEDITATION.

Yes, it can really lower your blood pressure pretty significantly if you really practice at it. I'm not talking standing around chanting "ohm ohm ohm" over and over, but putting herself in a quiet place, clearing her mind, concentrating on her breathing and letting herself drift. It's a hell of a lot harder than it sounds, we're really not very good at completely letting go of things even for a short time so it will take a lot of practice. Talk to some practicioners (my best friend is a Buddhist, he meditates frequently, might want to make friends with a few Buddhists and pick up some pointers).

Also, I completely agree on the stress. Stress can *kill* you and that's not an understatement. Three years ago I got laid off, lost a ton of money on stocks when the dot.com crash hit, found out my newlywed wife was cheating on me (and divorced her), lost my house, and lost nearly all my friends when they also got laid off and moved away. The stress from all that damn near took me out. I had to use every trick in the book to get back in control of myself. Stress is a scary thing and it doesn't have to all pile up on you at once. It's a cumulative thing.

Don't underestimate the stress at her work, or the stress she might be having in her personal life. Worrying about whether her current condition is going to affect her fertitlity is an ADDITIONAL source of stress, and it can all pile up from many different places that you wouldn't think to suspect. My recommendation is to have her see a fertility specialist like someone suggested (which could help eliminate some of her worries), take some medication, meditate a couple of times a week for 30 mins or so at a time and see a counselor. The counselor might help her ferret out other sources of stress in her life.

That's my two cents worth anyway.
