Have any of you tried reflexology?

[susan_1981]

I don't really know if I should be in here or not but I started TTC back in August last year, fell pregnant in the October but found out I'd had a MMC in December at my 12 week scan. My baby had died at 7+2. Been trying ever since and now on cycle 8.

My friend recommended reflexology. She said her ex-boyfriend's sister had been trying to get pregnant for 18 months. After about a year, she gave up smoking and drinking in the hope it would help but it didn't so went back to it. When I say drinking, she wasn't an alcoholic, but she went back to going out on weekends and enjoying herself. Then on her 18th month, she had reflexology and fell pregnant that month and now has a baby girl. Just wondered if any of you have tried it? I know they say it can help with TTC but wondered if there were any success stories? I had reflexology yesterday and will probably ovulate within the next few days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed x

I've tried reflexology. Nope...still not pregnant. Glad it worked for your friend though. It feels good anyways...so why not?

Hiya ive been having reflexology on and off for the last 12mths although im not pregnant yet it does seem to have an affect on me, i have pcos and i dont ovulate i never a get a positive opk, when i do have reflexology i get positive opk, it also shows in my day 21 blood test results too the month i didnt have any my prog level was 10.1, when i did have it my levels were 33.6, dont know whether it was coincidence or not but i like to think it works. all you can do is give it a try if nothing else its great for relaxation!

Hi -

I am going to start having reflexology soon to help with my cycle, however it's good for just improving awareness of your body and what it is doing. And relaxing - and in ttc, that is very important

I've never tried it but am seriously considering either that or acupuncture. When I spoke to my GP the other day for a referral to FS she suggested giving it a try. She said both have very good success rates - she thinks that its more the fact that they promote relaxation than anything else, but said neither do any harm, so are worth a try. I may try reflexology first then acupuncture as a second option (not as keen on having needles stuck in me!). Good luck and let us know how you get on. x

Hi, We're going to wait for the blood and the S/A tests to come back and if they're all OK I'm going to give reflexology a go.
Its been recommended to me by so many people!
