Both DH and I started doing acupuncture... I read that it can make a lot of difference... we'll see. Im not sure if I'll be able to continue because I have a topical allergy to metals and the needles make me itch for days after.. but I would like to know other alternative methods people have tried.

I haven't tried reflexology, but I've also been getting acupuncture. No baby yet, but I did get pregnant the first month I started treatment, though that ended in a chemical. If nothing else, I feel much better when I have acupuncture, and I can tell the herbs she gives me really work - I ovulate much earlier and have a longer luteal phase with them than I was able to before I started treatment.

I had accupuncture for months before even ttc dd. The month I got pg I had reflexology done (just one of those community foot massage places- I don't think they knew how to do anything specific for fertility) on day of ovulation (or day before, I can't remember). Not sure if either helped but I did like both!

Hello,
Just thought I'd pitch in. I had reflexology when TTC #1 - I was pregnant after about 3 cycles I think. Although when I first contacted the reflexologist I said I wanted help with fertility when I went to my first appointment I was literally dumbstruck as she told me various ailments I had at the time (I hadn't mentioned these to her at all - she could tell by the reactions I had with she put pressure on various points on my feet). Anyway, it helped my bad back and got my cycles back on track and helped a lot with stress as well.
One thing I would say is that it isn't a gentle foot massage - it can be quite uncomfortable at times, but is well worth it. I would recommend looking around for one that specialises in fertility. I went weekly until BFP then monthly thereafter.
