Can't workout after an IUI? Nothing at all? Hm... some doctors are very strict about that, same with during pregnancy. Mine says once it implants, it's stuck, it isn't going to fall out. After an egg retrieval my RE told me to take it easy for the time (since it was surgery), but that is pretty much it. For other procedures, I can workout, just not hard.

As for the eating, stress? If you want to eat, fill up on veggies, hummus, seeds, and nuts. Good stuff for you. Maybe try juicing fruits and veggies, or drinking shakes make with soy milk, chocolate syrup, yogurt.

As counterproductive as it sounds, try eating something with some fat in it. Fat actually tells your brain you are full/satisfied. It doesn't have to be unhealthy - it could be nuts/seeds like quitethepickle suggested or even an avocado. Maybe make some homemade quacamole so you can have a few tortilla chips to add a bit of crunch with it. I LOVE to have fresh fruit and 2% milk, chop up some peaches/strawberries and poort the milk over it. That's healthy and filling.

It could be stress, it could be hormones - it might just take a bit of extra willpower and/or finding something else to do.

do not eat soy. That is not good for fertility. As for the working out, the reason they don't want you to is because you aren't supposed to get your core temp up too high or it can kill the sperm, damage the eggs, embies. Same reason for no hot showers, hot tubs, etc. As far as the other diet explanations given, those are all worth a try. i feel like i haven't stopped eating since i got the news of my infertility, so i know how you feel. So sorry and hope you're able to find something to help make you feel better!

Thank you so much Ladies I will def keep trying different ideas its just hard cuz I was over weight and I dont want to go back there and have it effect my fertility again.

Wishing you all the best .. and sending sticky sticky baby dust your way.. I'll be having my IUI tomorrow..
