To anyone who has done IVF before: This is my first IVF cycle. I was thinking of scheduling a massage this coming weekend. ER will probably be early next week. Do you think I'll be too uncomfortable from the bloating and enlarged ovaries to lay on my stomach and enjoy the massage? It seems like a lot of people on here say they're uncomfortable right before ER.
Thanks!

ditto pp's. After about 3-4 days of stims I no longer wanted to lay on my stomach. By the end I didn't even want to lay on my side b/c it felt like my ovaries were flopping around!
Maybe you could just ask about their cancellation policy and cancel the day before if you don't feel up to it.
You could call the spa or speak to a massage therapist there and ask if they can do the massage in a side-lying position (if that's still a comfortable position for you).....it's just a few adjustments with pillows.
I am a massage therapist and I would be more than happy to accommodate a client with any request to make her more comfortable.
Hope this helps! GL!
