Massage between ER and ET

What do you think about having a massage between ER and ET?  Would it help or hurt?  I know many do accupuncture before and after but due to costs it is not really an option for me.  Just wanted to get some of your opinions.  I meant to ask the IVF nurse the day of ER but I was so nervous about everything else I completely forgot.

    I probably would advise against having a massage post ER.  You'll be very bloated and it will be uncomfortable to lay on your belly while someone presses on you.

    Not sure but I know I'm 3 days past my ER today and I'm still bloated and my abdomen and pelvis are tender.  It is much better today but the first few days were pretty uncomfortable.  I couldn't imagine laying on my belly for longer than a few minutes.  Good luck!

    I did it this time, and it was ok for the most part. The massage therapist knows about our IF and IVF, so I just told her that my belly was sore so I wanted to spend less time lying on my belly and more time lying on my back. What was awesome was that while I laid on my back she put a heating pad on my belly. It really helped the soreness.
