Should I have reflexology while having In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)?
Although there are no hard and fast rules about this, my personal opinion would be to avoid reflexology treatments during the down regulating (down regging) and stimulation (stimming) stages of IVF. This is because during these stages you are taking fertility drugs to encourage your body to go into a temporary menopause and then to produce several eggs. Reflexology is all about achieving a natural balance and would not be complementary to this part of the process. However, once you are past the egg collection stage, reflexology may be fabulously calming in the dreaded ‘two week wait’.
