Fertility massage is beneficial to both women and men while trying to conceive naturally or when undergoing in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination. Fertility massage prepares the body to create a state of wellness in which assisted reproductive procedures can be effective.
Fertility massage has an extremely important role in helping release stress. Many studies have shown a link between infertility in both men and women and a stressful life style. For example, stress may affect the hormonal system to the point of delaying ovulation or preventing the implantation on the fertilized embryo. By reducing the amount of stress through fertility massage, you can improve your chances of getting pregnant and staying pregnant. The road to pregnancy can be a stressful one when infertility issues are present, but prolonged stress and anxiety can further complicate matters. Stress can somehow block your attempt to get pregnant by creating hormonal imbalance, thus affecting ovulation timing, cervical mucus production, egg quality, sperm production, embryo implantation, and more.
Fertility massage is designed not only to increase the flow of blood to the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, but also to increase a sense of well being, strengthen the immune system, stimulate the balance production of hormones, and improve the health of the lymphatic system. The result of all this is an increased chance of achieving conception.

What to expect post-session:
Make sure to drink lots of purified water after each treatment to aid your body release toxins that were trapped in your muscles and organs. Also, you may experience a cleansing effect that includes a slightly heavier period after your first few sessions, increased bowl movements, and possible soreness. Your fertility massage therapist should advise you that this increased menstrual flow is actually a good sign that your body is getting rid of old tissue because blood clots are finally breaking free. Increased bowl function is also a very positive effect of fertility massage. When massaging your intestinal organs, the peristaltic movements of your colon are stimulated to propel old and impacted fecal matter to be released. The result will be less pressure on your ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus and release of intestinal toxicity that in may be the cause of low mineral absorption, hormonal imbalance and poor immune function.
