anovulatory cycles (no ovulation) - to name a few. Once identified, these issues can be resolved and managed using reflexology. And, once women understand their menstrual cycles better, they are then able to identify the optimum time during which they are at their most fertile. What most women are not aware of is that this is prior to ovulation and not after ovulation. An egg is only fertile for about eight- twelve hours, so ensuring that sperm are in situ prior to ovulation increases success rates. ‘And, of course, we mustn’t forget men! ‘Most men are poorly informed about how they
produce sperm and how important reproductive and sperm health is. It takes about three months for sperm to be produced and ready for their role in fertilising the egg. But, many things can happen during this period of time that can affect the quality and quantity of the sperm. These can be as simple as higher-than-average stress levels, an infection, or even high levels of exercise. ‘Reflexology can be a useful tool in improving
sperm outcomes. Having a detailed semen analysis at the beginning of starting reflexology treatment to identify any issues and then re-testing once treatment has been completed helps to show how effective the treatment has proved to be. ‘Reproductive reflexology can be a useful and

menstrual cycles. As women, we mostly rely upon what we were taught at school, and, unfortunately, this can be sorely lacking! There are so many ‘false facts’ about menstrual cycles such as ‘all cycles should be 28 days long’, ‘every woman ovulates on day fourteen of her cycle’, and ‘if a woman is menstruating, she is ovulating’, and so it’s vital that we address this lack of knowledge. ‘One of the starting points in using reproductive reflexology as part of
your fertility journey is to learn to understand your own individual menstrual cycle and for your practitioner to help you to identify any issues that might be causing a problem. There can be a wide range of issues, even in women with a ‘standard 28-day cycle’, that they may not be aware of. These can include progesterone deficiency, a short luteal phase (post ovulation) and
