TTC question: Has anyone had a Mayan abdominal massage?

Question

I'm curious to know if anyone has had one, as well as others thoughts and opinions on it?  I'm ttc (have been trying for over 6 months) and I'm willing to try almost any natural (and safe option) out there.

Answer

I've heard about it and a few friends swear to it that it helped them. Thinking about doing it myself! Let me know how it went if you did it afterall

Answer

Let me start by saying I have never had a 28 day cycle or had ovulation bleeding, like never ever in my life has this happened.  Let me also say that I'm not a crunchy granola hippie chick, I just went in to this with an open mind.  The lady I went to is someone I have been going to already to help me with lower back pain.  She practices a lot of alternative therapies, holistic remedies and different massage techniques and I trust her fully as she is a friend of my mom.

So I went for my first uterine massage the last week of March 2015, while she was massaging my lower belly I could definitely feel the tightness of the ligaments that hold the uterus. It was crazy to have that feeling, because I have never before felt that or had any awareness of the ligaments and muscle in that area. Anyway it started off feeling tight and I had some very minor discomfort, sort of like when you have a knot that is being massaged out, that kind of discomfort.
As she continued to massage i could actually feel the ligaments become less tight and I know this sounds weird but my lower belly/ uterus felt light, like a weight came off. (It sounds super weird to me too.)
 I had my first ever 28 day cycle that month.

About 3 weeks after the first massage (April 2015) I went back for another, my second massage. I immediately noticed at my 2nd massage that my uterus ligaments did not start off feeling tight and the feeling of being light in that area was still there.

I had another 28 day cycle and in May 19th  I had my first ever ovulation bleeding. It was just a little ball of clear CM with a streak of pinkish blood. We had sex 3 times that week and that was it for the month. It had been a busy month with work and planning vacation that we hadn't really had time to do it. Anyway we got back from vacation on June 13th and got a BFP. :)

Answer

For anyone that doesn't want the long version, here's the short version.

After two uterine massages I had two perfect 28 day menstrual cycles and my first ever ovulation bleeding. Then got my BFP after nearly a year of very actively trying.

So I'm a big believer in uterine massages. :)
