Reflexology before/after FET

Hi

I am a big fan of reflexology, and I tried to do it weekly during my follicle stimulation phase.

I now have a date for my FET, and was wondering if anybody has done this right before or after their transfer?

Is it safe? Could it help with implantation?

Thanks

Best check with your clinic- but maybe it should be a few days after transfer

Good luck with transfer

I did reflexology in the run up to my FET but I was a bit paranoid about doing it post transfer And my reflexologist also did not suggest a session post transfer. May be speak to your therapist and also check with your consultant.

Hi! I discovered reflexology before my FET and did three sessions in the run up to it. I think it really helped me relax and feel better. My reflexologist who is also coincidentally a midwife said she doesn't recommend it during the first trimester. In my second trimester now and thinking of going back to it if my stress levels start rising. Good luck!

Hi love reflexology too!

I would highly recommend both before and after transfer. However I found a reflexologist who focuses on women’s health and fertility. She supported me each week through my FET cycle. She even opened her clinic for my post transfer between Xmas and new years! It was the only round where I had consistent, IVF focused treatment and the only round that worked! My twins are now 10 months old ❤️

But most importantly I found that it helped with my stress and mood both during the 2ww and in the cycle itself. She was amazing!

Wishing you all the luck in the world!

Xx
