TTC After a Loss

fertility massage

So, I'm about to jump on the holistic bus. DH found a place that does fertility massages. After speaking to the woman, she's trying to get a whole program up and running fOr fertility issues, in conjunction with a chiropractor. She also looks to include a nutrition component. She got a brief history from me and knows about the 4 unexplained losses. I'm kind of looking forward to doing something new. Do I think that any of it will "work?" Ehhh, not necessarily. But even doing something for my overall health sounds like a good thing.
Any of you ladies have experience with any of this?

4 Losses (2003, 2008, Apr 2012, & Oct 2012)
All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

5 IUIs = BFN

  • I've never heard of fertility massage, but I am currently going to acupuncture to help with my fertility issues.  Right now I'm willing to try anything before moving onto anything more intensive.

  • Interesting- I've never heard of fertility massage. I did treat myself to a massage on Wednesday night though, and the masseuse told me I need to relax more. Really? Thanks.
  • I don't know about the fertility aspect but I totally thought along the same lines as @Qfrump! A massage is a massage. I've only had one and it was a gift from DH for Christmas. It was a prenatal and wonderful. I hope you like it!

  • It can't hurt love! I'd be willing to give it a shot! 
  • The way I see it, anything that can help reduce stress has to be good for you!

    You will have to let us know what you think once she has it all up and running.


                                                         
  • I agree with PPs; if it can't hurt, go for it. And if nothing else, at least you'll be giving yourself some TLC. That alone makes it worth doing. Let us know how it goes!
  • I am definitely pro massage, and hey, if it might help, then totally go for it!

  • I have heard of fertility massage and you can buy books/videos that instruct you how to do it yourself as well.  It seems to be used with acupuncture in Chinese Medicine.
