Reflexology to support Fertility
Hearing the words "just relax and you will get pregnant" has to be one of the most triggering things that anyone can say to someone who is trying to conceive. I literally burst in to tears once when someone said this to me. It implies that you have control and you are somehow preventing your own pregnancy by being stressed about it. Worrying about being stressed just increases stress.
We know that stress is a factor in sub fertility, when the levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, are high it can affect the body’s ability to produce the optimum of level of fertility hormones.
Reflexology is deeply relaxing, it can lower Cortisol and help your body get back to a state of balance.
At the start of my fertility investigation I was given the devastating news that I may not have any viable eggs and that IVF may never work for me.
But despite this negative prognosis, I’m now the proud Mum to two lovely boys as a result of IVF treatment.
After unsuccessful ivf cycles for my second child, I had reflexology (and retrained as a reflexologist) and I believe it was the shift that led to regulating my menstrual cycles and a viable IVF pregnancy and the birth of my son.
Reflexology really helped me on my own fertility journey, so if you’re trying to conceive, maybe it’s something you would like to try?
I promise I won’t tell you to “just relax and it’ll happen”, or any of the other well meaning but triggering things people say.
