SURPRISE BFP-August 15 2012
Gosh darnit, it wish I would of tried a massage to get pregnant after 4 long years of ttc, and 8 miscarriages. I bet it would be a whole lot cheaper then the medical procedures and RE consults as well! and maybe it would let me get pregnant, and stay pregnant - hmmm i'm very doubtful!
I am sorry if this is snarky - but i trust my RE much more then I do a massage therapist!
you need to be careful what you post on these boards, this was very offensive. A warning of your pregnancy would have been nice as well.

Sorry to say it but if the problem was that you weren't ovulating (even with Clomid) then your Doctor was an idiot to diagnose your with "unexplained infertility"...

say what you want but i was in the same position as everyone here! There are alot of unproven methods out there like acupuncture, massage, and chiropractor...yes they cant be proven because they often get chalked up to a coincidence but coincidence or not it happens enough at this clinic that they warn patients ttc or not. Sounds like maybe you all should be a bit more open minded, I was...
Your totally right. If only I had gotten a massage, the scar tissue blocking both my tubes would have been cleared and the 2 YEARS I've just spent trying to have a baby would not have been for nothing!
Thanks for your helpful insight.
Yes.Nor will it do anything for my husband's barely existent sperm count.
Dude, Kathy! We so need to go get massages together to fix our husband's sperm!!! Plusandalsodon'tforget we can call it "just relaxin'"
Can I join you guys for the MFI special? DH is completely azoo so I think I have to splurge on the 90 minute massage for it to work.

Why would anyone post this? FWIW, I did accu and fertility enhancing massage (just for kicks) throughout my IUIs and IVF. No success. It helps with stress. But that's about it.

You win for best use of the word "cockamamie" on a message board.
