Fertility Massage and Menstrual Cycle

The average length of female menstrual cycle is about 28 days.

These entire duration can be divided into four phases which are highlighted below:

Menstrual phase (From day 1 to 5)
Follicular phase (From day 1 to 13)
Ovulation phase (Day 14)
Luteal phase (From day 15 to 28)

For women Trying to Conceive, Fertility massage should not be done during the luteal phase. This is to avoid the risk of miscarriage incase implantation occurs immediately after ovulation.

The best time for a fertility massage is after the menstrual phase till ovulation phase (From day 6 to 14).

This is because the egg is produced, developed and released during this time, and self fertility massage can help direct regular supply of oxygenated blood and even distribution of hormone towards the reproductive area.

Women who are not trying to conceive but are only preparing their body can engage in self fertility massage anytime during the menstrual cycle EXCEPT during the menstruation.

Is it just me or is infertility becoming ever more common?

EnlightenedSoul: Is it just me or is infertility becoming ever more common?

Well infertility issues have been common problem since ooo.
As per you, I think the logical explanation is that you keep noticing it simply because you are within the age range. (E.g you may not notice health issues common with people over 60 years simply because you are not there yet)
