Anyone done it.
Any ept advice for when it’s ok.
My hcg is 107 and I just feel my rupture risk is low and reflex could help my body rebalance and finish the process.
Nothing online.
A few bits about afterwards or prep for trying again but nothing about healing at the time.

Hi Lucy888,
I can definitely relate to seeking alternative therapies during the course of healing from an ectopic pregnancy. Certainly until your hcg levels are below 5 mIU/mL, you are still considered pregnant, and it’s very important to continue your blood tests and to be attentive to any changes in symptoms or pain as a rupture is still possible.
With alternative therapies, the Trust advocates caution on use of these therapies and the claims they make. Many complementary medicines are quite powerful and can have harmful side effects if misused. They may also interact with medicines that you may already be taking, or intend to take. There is more information under the “Lifestyle” tab on this page: https://www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/trying-to-conceive/
It may be worthwhile holding off until your levels are down. I know that for me reflexology is incredibly relaxing, and it may be that you’d be best able to enjoy that relaxation once hcg levels are at zero.
With good wishes,
Michele
