Self Fertility Massage Q&A

Dalene Barton - Certified Herbalist, Birth Doula
July 22, 2021

Now in its seventh year, the Self Fertility Massage™ video has become one of the most popular ways to boost your fertility naturally. Along with a wide range of reproductive health benefits, comes questions, lots of questions…

Here are the wide range of common questions we receive about Self Fertility Massage:

1. Q: How long do I do the massage each session?
A: When first starting out, Self Fertility Massage is best applied in 30 – 45-minute sessions. This length of time is also good if you can only make time for the massage a couple times a week. If you plan on doing the massage daily, 15 minutes is best.

2. Q: How many times a day should I do the massage?
A: One time a day is best.

3. Q: Can I do Self Fertility Massage during an IVF stim cycle?
A: No, we don’t recommend applying this type of massage or any other type of abdominal massage during an IVF stim cycle. This is because the ovaries are being stimulated to mature many follicles at one time. Stimulation of multiple mature follicles is not typically natural to a normal follicle maturation cycle where only 1 to 2 follicles fully mature for ovulation in a cycle.

4. Q: When in my cycle do I apply Self Fertility Massage?
A: Self Fertility Massage should not be applied during your period (menses) or during pregnancy. For women who are actively trying to conceive, Self Fertility Massage may be done starting the day after your period ends, up to ovulation and not after, in case you may be pregnant. For women who are not actively trying to conceive, Self Fertility Massage may be applied any time in the cycle, except during menstruation.

5. Q: Should I continue the massage into pregnancy?
A: No, it is best to not apply this type of massage in pregnancy.

6. Q: In the video, I see you apply the acupressure points on only one of your feet, do I apply it on both feet?
A: Yes, you apply it on both feet.

7. Q: Can I use the leftover castor oil from the castor oil pack for the massage? Do I have to apply the castor oil pack prior to the massage, and do I have to use castor oil, or can I use another massage oil?
A: Yes, castor oil is fine to use for the massage, even if you don’t apply a castor oil pack prior to the massage. If you do apply the castor oil pack prior to the massage, you may want to wipe off any excess if there is too much oil still remaining on your abdomen. Or, you can add more if there is not enough castor oil left over from the castor oil pack.

We find that applying a castor oil pack prior to Self Fertility Massage softens the underlying tissues, enhances circulation, and results in natural detoxification to the area applied. That is why it is included in the video. It is completely fine to use another natural massage oil as an alternative to castor oil. Be sure you are using a natural massage oil and not mineral oil (baby oil) which is derived from petroleum and may be toxic to your health, counteracting the benefits of the massage. We love Radiant Womb therapeutic fertility massage oil.

8. Q: How hard should I press when doing the massage?
A: Only press as hard/deep as you can handle without hurting yourself. You should not feel pain because of how hard you are pressing. This type of massage is similar to a full body massage, only in a very special area. Keep in mind that the abdomen doesn’t contain any bones and that what you are massaging is only muscles, connective tissues, and organs – including your reproductive and digestive organs. Be gentle, especially at first, start off slow and increase pressure over time, and once you find a pressure that feels right for you, stay there and continue that same pressure over time.

If you feel a painful spot due to a reproductive organ health issue (endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc.) massage around that area, not directly on it. Over time it should begin to feel better.

9. Q: I had my husband massage me following along with the video, later I began spotting, is this normal?
A: My first thoughts are questions for you. Do you have any fertility health issues that are known to cause spotting, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids or adenomyosis that I should know about? Did you and your husband have intercourse after the massage, that may cause spotting? Have you ever experienced spotting during your cycle in the past? Are you about to begin your period? Any of these or a combination of them may cause spotting in the absence of menstruation.

While I am not sure why this would occur in relation to the fertility massage, the following are ideas I have as to why this may happen…

By nature, men tend to be stronger and may press harder than you would. Also, your husband cannot feel what you are feeling. It is best to apply Self Fertility Massage yourself, or have a licensed abdominal massage practitioner apply the massage. If you like the connection the massage gives you and your partner and you think the spotting may be from him pressing too hard, just communicate with him to ease up.

Another thought, it may be that during the massage you are becoming aroused, which increases circulation to the reproductive organs even more than just the massage alone.

It is not typical to experience spotting due to fertility massage. If you are worried and this continues to happen, it is best to stop performing the massage.

10. Q: I have been applying the Self Fertility Massage techniques all week and I am experiencing pain is that normal?
A: It is quite normal to experience some soreness when first beginning the massage techniques. Any time you stimulate an area of the body in a new way, you are likely to experience some soreness the next day. You are moving tissues that probably haven’t been moved in this way, ever. Massage is an excellent way to keep underlying tissues soft, flexible, supple and strong, kind of like a new exercise. Because of this, the area is bound to be a little sore until the body becomes used to it.

What is not normal is excruciating pain of any kind – throbbing, stinging, sharp, etc. If this is happening, it may be best to discontinue this type of massage.

11. Q: I heard that if you have ovarian cysts you should not do Fertility Massage, is that true?
A: In general, women with ovarian cysts should avoid massaging the area over the ovaries, especially on the side where the cyst is present. If the ovarian cyst is large, it would be best to avoid Self Fertility Massage. Why? Ovarian cysts are known to rupture and can be quite painful. Massaging an ovarian cyst may be too much for the delicate tissues of the ovary, which is already being stretched beyond its capacity.

12. Q: Can I get menstrual cycle shifts from fertility massage?
A: To be honest, I am not quite sure if fertility massage alone would cause a change in the timing of the menstrual cycle. Whether it be a change in overall length or timing of ovulation, there is no concrete evidence to show this is possible. I suppose theoretically the enhanced circulation and stimulation of the reproductive organs may temporarily shift the hormonal system and,in turn, slightly alter the timing of the menstrual cycle as a whole. This is not typical though and of the thousands of women who perform Self Fertility Massage, there are only a couple of women that have asked about this.

I think that it is likely contributed to something else, other than the massage. Most women performing Self Fertility Massage have also implemented diet and lifestyle changes and/or are likely taking herbs and supplements for fertility, which have been known to shift the menstrual cycle in the first months after the changes are implemented.

13. Q: How soon after a miscarriage can the massage be started? Is waiting until my menstrual cycle returns best? Or can it be used once miscarriage spotting is completely over?
A: Self Fertility Massage is fine to begin once bleeding, including spotting has stopped entirely. The time when this will happen will be different for each woman. You do not have to wait until your menstrual cycle returns. Just remember to not perform the massage during bleeding times.

14. Q: Is Self Fertility Massage anything like Maya Abdominal Massage?
A: A wide range of massage techniques are used in Self Fertility Massage. The creator of this massage video and our founder, Hethir Rodriguez, CH, CMT, tailored her knowledge of a variety of massage techniques for the Self Fertility Massage.

Self Fertility Massage™ incorporates Chi Nei Tsang (Asian organ massage), deep tissue massage, myofascial release, acupressure, reflexology and castor oil therapy. Maya Abdominal Massage may incorporate some of these techniques, but not all. To learn more about Maya Abdominal Massage click here…

15. Q: Can I do Self Fertility Massage after exercise?

A: Yes, if you have time that is fine and it may be a relaxing way to end an exercise routine. Remember, it will take 30 – 45 minutes to complete, so you will have to see what you can fit into your schedule.

16. Q: How long do I have to wait after eating a meal to do the Self Fertility Massage?
A: Never apply Self Fertility Massage directly after eating a meal, as this may cause digestive upset. It is best to wait at least 1.5 – 2 hours after eating a meal.

Here are my top 5 ⤵️

Men experience fertility issues just as frequently as women do. The good news is it’s a lot simpler to address male fertility as they only have a handful of causes of imbalance. 

Herbs are a great way to support male fertility naturally (in addition to a nutrient dense diet). These are my top herbs for male fertility...

🧜‍♂️ American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) - A traditional rejuvenation tonic for men, American ginseng nourishes and supports the nervous system, immune function, and proper hormonal balance. It may support healthy 🍆 drive and performance.

🧜‍♂️ Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) – Traditionally used in both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, Tribulus supports normal count, motility and morphology, improves 🍆 function. Tribulus is known to help increase luteinizing hormone (LH), DHEA and encourages normal testosterone production- all factors which influence sp3rm quality and health.

🧜‍♂️ Maca root (Lepidium meyenii)– A tonic for the hormonal system, maca supports and nourishes the hypothalamus and thyroid, encouraging normal sp3rm health as well as 🍆function/libido, increased energy, stamina, and mental clarity.

🧜‍♂️ Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) – Nourishing to the entire endocrine system, saw palmetto supports overall reproductive function in men. Men with low sp3rm count, low libido, stress, who are irritable or experiencing anxiety, who have poor immune function, poor lifestyle and dietary habits have shown to benefit from this herb.

🧜‍♂️ Yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe) – Found to support healthy male drive and increase circulation to the male reproductive organs, yohimbe helps to sustain an 🍆 naturally.

What to eat for fertility...

Nutrition can make a big difference when you are wanting to prepare for pregnancy, support hormonal health or overcome fertility issues. 

But it can sometimes be hard to start new habits. 

One of my favorite ways to make lasting dietary changes is to focus on what you can add instead of only the things you shouldn’t be eating.

There are 5 specific things I have my clients add to their current diets every day. 

🍌What they found after about 21 days of eating this way, they started to not only crave healthier foods, their body was giving them positive feedback through lighter cycles, better digestion, clearer skin and more energy. ⚡

While eating healthy is something you will need to do for the rest of your life, doing a challenge like this helps to give you a great jump start.

Healthier periods by next cycle... 💁‍♀️

You don’t have to have a painful period every month.

There are a hand full of causes which I cover in-depth on my website.

All of the causes can be impacted through dietary changes and adding some self-care therapies.

✨ If I were to pick just ONE to start with it would be Womb Care Castor oil packs and switching to a whole food plant based diet. Okay, that’s two, but these two steps could transform your period in just a cycle or two.

Here are some other tips to try out as well.

Dietary changes to make:
1. Stop eating added sugars and sugary foods (candy, cakes, soda, etc).
2. Reduce or stop drinking caffeine and alcohol.
3. Stop eating fried foods and foods cooked in oils (avocado, olive, coconut are okay).
4. Eat a predominately plant based diet for it’s anti-inflammatory and fiber benefits.
5. Reduce or cut out red meat consumption.

Self-care therapies to add:
1. Womb Care Castor Oil Packs
2. Fertility Cleanse 2x per year
3. Add acupressure to your daily routine.

This is one of the main causes of fertility issues....

Exposure to excessive hormones from our environment.

Yep. These compounds, known as ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS, are causing hormonal imbalances which are negatively affecting our ability to ovulate.

They also negatively affect EGG health and sperm count.

♻️ These environmental factors include plastics (with BPA being one of the most commonly known), body care and hair care products, household cleaners, and even fragrance candles.

 🛀 These environmental factors cause us to have repeated micro exposure to xenoestrogens on a daily basis, without even knowing it.

These xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in the body but in a potent way, causing a hormonal imbalance which can contribute to the growth of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy periods, and painful periods – all of these are linked to excess of estrogen within the body.

So, how do we deal with this? First, we cleanse and detoxify the body.

By supporting the body’s natural ability to eliminate these compounds and excess hormones, we can significantly alleviate the hormonal imbalance.

 👉 This can be done with The Fertility Cleanse Kit. 

Next, we need to eliminate the triggers from our lifestyle. This includes switching out products that contain phthalates, parabens, and endocrine disruptors for natural alternatives.

❗This includes everything from hair care, skincare, body care, household cleaners, to laundry and dish detergent. 

Thank goodness companies are responding to the need for “clean products” and creating effective and healthier alternatives. 

 🥦 Finally, nourishing ourselves with supportive foods is important for fertility and overall health. Consuming a diet rich in whole-foods provides our body with necessary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.

Eating a balanced diet consisting of organic vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, and healthy fats can provide the support needed to keep hormone levels balanced.

The only advice the Dr gave me was to wait and see...

My fertility journey started out of pure frustration. 

And from that day forward a fire was lit and has been roaring ever since. 

You see, I was miscarrying and all the doctor gave me as a solution was.... to wait and see. 

I bet you know all too well how this feels.

Maybe it wasn’t a pregnancy loss, but was a lack of diagnosis, or a lack of empathy. Or even a lack of believing you when you say something doesn’t seem right. 

That is why I never want you to feel like I did that day. 

That’s why I show up here everyday to share with you everything I know... EVERY WAY I know to support your fertility. 

If you have ever felt LET DOWN AND ALONE along your fertility journey, know that you have options. Know there ARE things you can do to impact your reproductive health. 

If you are ready to take an empowered path to pregnancy. One with options and action. Let me know.

Why Fertility Cleansing works ⤵️

As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use. 

✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new. 

By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.

When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
 
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:

📌 Hormone Health + Uterine Health

Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.

Why Cleansing Works:

🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.

🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.

🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.

Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health. 

By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula. 

✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility this is a great place to start.

Why Fertility Cleansing works ⤵️

As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use. 

✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new. 

By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.

When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
 
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:

📌 Hormone Health + Uterine Health

Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.

Why Cleansing Works:

🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.

🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.

🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.

Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health. 

By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula. 

✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility this is a great place to start.

5 Signs You Might not be ovulating 👇

Ovulation is key when trying to get pregnant, but many women assume they are ovulating just because they have a period. 

Only 13% of women TTC know their fertile times.

Here are signs you might not be ovulating and how to confirm:

🚩Low to no cervical mucous - Cervical mucus changes throughout your cycle, becoming clear and stretchy around ovulation. If you notice little to no cervical mucus, it could be a sign of ovulatory issues

🚩Short fertility cycles (< 24 days)- Menstrual cycles shorter than 22 days may indicate that ovulation is not occurring or is happening too early, which can affect fertility

🚩Long fertility cycles (> 35 days) - Long cycles can be a sign of irregular or absent ovulation.

🚩Low body weight (BMI <18.5) - Being underweight can disrupt hormone levels, leading to irregular periods or even stopping ovulation altogether

🚩Irregular or absent periods - If your periods are irregular or you miss them altogether, it might be a sign of anovulation

But let’s not assume. 

Here is how to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️

Track your basal body temperature daily. 

▶️ Measure your temp. first thing when you wake each morning. 
▶️ Use an app, chart printed online or a digital tracking tool.
▶️ Take a look at the pattern created through consistent daily tracking. 

What your chart says about your fertility:

✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates that ovulation has occurred. This is crucial for timing intercourse for conception.

✔️Once you start charting, you’ll notice patterns. Typically, you’ll see lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Use the feedback your body gives you to KNOW exactly how to support your reproductive health.

The Natural Fertility Formula teaches these tools in detail and gives you the foundation to improve YOUR fertility. 

You are THE expert on your own body. Let’s translate what it is telling you and get started today.

Plant Foods to Embrace:

🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, and cauliflower are not only nutrient-dense but also contain compounds such as indole-3-carbinol, which has been shown to support hormonal balance and may alleviate period pain.

A study in the Journal of Nutrition highlighted that these vegetables could modulate estrogen metabolism, potentially reducing the risk of estrogen-related conditions.

🌶 Iron-Rich Foods

Leafy greens and legumes are pivotal for replenishing iron lost during menstruation, especially important for those experiencing heavy bleeding. The non-heme iron found in plant foods, while not as readily absorbed as heme iron from animal products, can still significantly contribute to iron levels when consumed with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that vegetarians who consume a variety of plant foods are not at any greater risk of iron deficiency than non-vegetarians.

It`s a myth that plant-based diets cannot provide enough iron; foods like lentils, chickpeas, and spinach are excellent sources.

🌰 Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseeds and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce menstrual cramps. A study in the Journal of Reproductive Health suggested that omega-3 supplementation could lessen menstrual pain. Incorporating these into a plant-based diet can offer a natural approach to managing period discomfort.

🌾 Whole Grains

Quinoa, brown rice, and oats are not only filling but also provide B vitamins and fiber, aiding in digestion and hormonal regulation. Whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is crucial for maintaining hormonal balance.

The fiber in whole grains also plays a role in binding excess hormones and removing them from the body, as indicated in research from the Journal of Nutrition.

Age isn’t the only factor...

In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age.

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

💎 Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

💎 Age has an impact on egg health as the ovaries continued to age, causing the “housing” for the eggs as well as the environment in the body affecting egg cell health.

💎 Protecting the eggs you currently have as well as encouraging ovarian health through diet, herbs, supplements, and increased circulation to the reproductive system is of the utmost importance.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:

➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility.

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days.

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 MONTHS from now.

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI.

🙂 Good News! There are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs.

📌 Type EGG in the comments below and I will send you my 90 Day Egg Health Checklist which goes into depth each of the steps you need to take to support egg health.
