Massage during ivf

Hi ladies does anyone know the rules regarding massage and ivf, I know when you go to most salons they seem to group ivf with pregnancy. Are the rules the same or is there differences!?

Has anyone had a massage during their cycle and if so how was it!

I had a facial with massage whilst stimming- I checked with my clinic and they said it was all fine. They even said relaxing was good for me. I'm not sure I would have wanted an abdominal massage though, and personally I wouldn't choose to have one after egg collection and embryo transfer - after embryo transfer you are pregnant until proven otherwise so shouldn't do anything that's not advised for first trimester of pregnancy x

I was advised I could have a massage while down regging but not stimming. I've been told I can still have reflexology between EC & ET, but not sure if I'm going to x
