Question

Anyone use a TENS unit?

So, we are TTC (I'm currently 10 DPO and hopeful), and I have to use a TENS unit on my knee and hip/lower back due to the surgery I had on Apr 25th (most of the cartilage behind my knee cap had to be removed, and they trimmed my medial meniscus) to deal with the pain and help me regain my mobility.

It significantly reduces the amount of pain medication I have to take (and helps with the endometriosis pain I get in my back so it's a win/win) but I am unsure if I will continue to use it once I get my BFP or if it is hindering implantation in any kind of way.

My physical therapist is the CUTEST PREGNANT WOMAN EVER! She doesn't believe me when I say that, but seriously.. Her and her husband also have that fiery red hair, they found out they were having a GIRL and they are going to name her ANNIE! I am being nice and not saying anything, but ever since then i've had the "The Sun will Come out.. Tomorrow" song stuck in my head!

I've done research, and came up empty, thou

I have used a tens unit on my lower back and it really does help, I do not know that it would be safe or not in pregnancy, I would ring the company and find out, I would not think it would hinder implantation though. Good Luck :)

I use a tens unit on a daily basis. Much better than taking pain meds. I'm not quite sure whether or not it will hinder implantation, but since the tens unit only affects the muscles that it is placed on, I would think it would be safe. Ask your doctor if you are really worried. Good luck!
