Will massage help my IVF?? ..... Short answer NO... Long answer NO BLOODY WAY!
Having been through 2 rounds of IVF myself, with 3 failed attempts, I know how easy it is to be pulled into claims of this or that can help you become more fertile or your chances of success are increased by 1000% if you sit on some crystals all day (please note: I did not try this π)
By all means have massages and use crystals if you enjoy them, but please don't be sold a bogus treatment making bold claims to cure your fertility issues. I had reflexology when I was going through treatment, but only because I love a foot massage and had disposal income from not drinking or going out much!
I was successful on my 4th attempt at IVF, which I attribute to part luck and partly because I had some science backed added procedures to my last round of IVF. I had an endometrial scratch, where they scratch the lining of your womb to create a sticky area for an embryo to attach to, and Embryo glue, which they put around your embryo before popping it back in.

I am lucky enough to be the proud owner of twins Jack and Emily, now 5 years old.... They are shown in the first picture as 5 day old cells, swipe right to see them in my belly and how they look today π
