I tried reflexology this time around and am currently 6 weeks 5 days. Tried acupuncture before prior to finding out I had blocked tubes but I didn't feel relaxed enough. Will definitely keep up with the reflexology the more further along I get 🤞xx

Hi, I have had acupuncture during an ICSI cycle. Whilst I didn’t achieve a pregnancy I found the appointments very relaxing and the lady I went to had been through IVF too so it was lovely to have someone to chat to about it all

Hello, in doing acupunture and I really look forward to going each week. Each week is so different, I feel very relaxed and enjoy the hour of doing nothing and just lying there to think positively, also my acupunterist sometimes sits and chats to me which is nice.

Whilst I am still doing my cycle of ICSI so have not got my positive test yet I can say that acupunture does help heal my period pains. I suffer so badly with them, to the point I can't walk, i had acupunture on day 1 last time and my pains were halved straight away. There is some mad science behind it but it was consultant who said to do it so worth a shot xxx
