Reflexology for fertility

Hi there, has anyone had any positive experiences of reflexology to help conception? Somebody recommended a place in Wokingham, and credited it with her two pregnancies. But I need somewhere in London.
Any recommendations would be gratefully received! Thanks x

I had reflexology for our 4 cycles of IUI. None of these were successful however I do credit reflexology for getting my cycle back on track and for relaxing me during a very tough time. After our IUI we moved on to IVF and for this cycle which was successful I had acupuncture. I have no idea whether this is simply coincidence or not but I'm not complaining as after nearly 6 long years of trying I am now 15 weeks pregnant.

I'm in Scotland so can't recommend anyone I'm afraid but I'm very much of the view that if you can afford to do it then complementary therapy is definitely worth a go. Sending lots of baby dust your way Flowers

I've had it and still go occasionally when I can afford it!

I have to say it did nothing for me practically. My cycles remain as irregular as ever and my sole conception (mc at five weeks) was at a time I wasn't going. However I do find it wonderfully relaxing and energising. Plus my therapist is a lovely empathic woman who has helped me feel better on my darkest days.

I can recommend her if you're in London? Just let me knowSmile
