fertility reflexology

has anyone found a fertility reflexology helpful?

I've never done fertility reflexology, and I usually hate people touching my feet, but I had reflexology a few months ago as a one off and I absolutely loved it, I felt like I was sleepy/happy drunk after having it, it was weird. If nothing else it'll be a nice relaxing treatment to help reduce stress 😊 go for it, it can't hurt x

As 1st post says it is a great way to aid relaxation and this in turn can help reduce the stress And if used along side healthy diet and lifestyle can be useful while on fertility treatment

Take care

Yes! It really helped me relax in the run up to my second FET, which coincidentally or not worked!

Anecdotally, I did reflexology and got my little boy. I found it really stress relieving and, like someone else mentioned, made me feel sleepy/ happy drunk 😂

Saying that I did it a couple of times since and didn’t get pregnant but my tubes are blocked now and weren’t before. Also I have lupus now and it really flared my autoimmune symptoms which she did say could happen.

I did it quite a few times and all those transfers were unsuccessful. BUT I enjoyed it a lot and found it felt nice. I didn't do it on my successful transfer though.... I think there are so many factors regarding fertility, no one thing can make it work!

I enjoyed it and am continuing to have sessions whilst pregnant as I find it relaxing and for me it’s self-care in this whole journey. X

Do you go to a fertility trained reflexologist?

[Eggfreezer2015]

Yes I did both for pre transfer then from 19wks onwards. Pre transfer I also did acupuncture which I really enjoyed. But post BFP I have been doing reflexology only. Hope that helps x
