Increasing fertility chance - accupuncture fertility massage?

[Ljayne]

Hello all, I am due to have IVF in the new year and I wish to increase my chances as much as possible.

I've been researching online about health in general and people have recommended accupuncture, an abdominal massage, reflexology etc.

Please can anyone recommend what is best and why.

I've recently had a laprascopy to remove everything possible in relation to my stage 4 endometriosis and I just want to increase my chances as much as possible before it all slowly grows back.

Thanks, Laura.

Hi Laura

How exciting that your IVF starts in The new year, I like you wanted to increase my chances so have had Accupunture and Chinese herbs, I had my egg transfer today, the Accupunture has helped in several ways by thickening my lining, maturation of the eggs and my cycles in general, I also had reflexology which I found helped with a few tension headaches along the way but if I had to choose would pick Accupunture every time, wishing you lots of luck x

Hello, thank you so much for your advice. I will definitely look into accupuncture! How long before your egg transfer did you have accupuncture?

I started In February, this was mainly due to my cycle being all over the place, I had it not every other week and started the herbs in about April time, they taste terrible but are really good for your blood supply so worth it, I had Accupunture 12 hours before transfer and an hour afterx

Hi, I had acupuncture and think it helped. It’s always hard to

Know of course what ‘worked’ but I felt it helped my well-being and of course she tailored it to my medical picture. Best of luck. X

Hi there, I had acupuncture and conceived in that same month (once a week I attended) unfortunately at 12 I had MMC but back at acupuncture now and ovulated this month... if nothing else it’s so relaxing it’s good to take your mind off things x
