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
I don't have any experience with this but it can't hurt, right? Sounds pretty good to me. Enjoy your massage & good luck!

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!

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 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.

Re: fertility massage
Basically IMO Anything is worth a try as long as there aren't any severe adverse fertility risks involved.

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