Is there any advice against getting a massage during stims?

I have a gift voucher I need to use, but I’m currently in week 3 of down ref so should be starting stim injections next week.

Thanks 😊

Hi Camkid. This shouldn’t be a problem, but I learned to always make sure that the oils used are diluted, usually 2-3 drops of whichever essential oils with 10 mls of “carrier” oil e.g. almond oil. It is advisable not to have massage during the first 12/40 wks of pregnancy as it can induce extra blood flow to certain areas and has been known to cause miscarriage in some cases. Diane

Thanks Diane, I'll get it booked in ASAP then and tell them about the oil dilution 👍
