Hi ladies! I am going in for my second IUI this week (sometime between Fri.-Sun.). My NP says it is ok to resume normal activity after the 10 minutes I spend waiting on the table. What do your docs say? Do they give any advice about activity? things to eat/not eat? anything I can do on my end to make my chances go up? Also, for those of you using acupucture: at what point in your cycle do you go in? Is it too late for me to go this month?

my dr just says to lay for 5 minutes but i try for 30. no smoking or alcohol. no hot showers after 2 weeks but better to start right away. and ofcourse take it easy but u can resume a regular life. maybe u want to stay home that day just incase. good luck and baby dust to u.

My RE says after 10 minutes of laying down in the office I can resume normal activity. I normally go home and work from there - with my feet up, but that hasn't worked and I've done it 4 times.....

My RE just has me lay on the table for 10 min. and then I go back to normal activity. My RE is 3 hours away so we usually go shopping when we get done and then have the 3 hour drive home. When I didi acupunture I started it on the 1st day of my cycle and did it until the end of my cycle.

My Dr keeps you laying down with your rear elevated for 15-20 mins then I am free to go an resume normal activity.

Same here. RE has me lay down for 15 min afterwards and then resume normal activity. He also recommends intercourse the next couple of days.

My RE has me lay down for 20 min and then suggests no strenuous exercise for a bit. Went for acupuncture once a week before and after IUI. Both of mine were BFN but as my DH has very poor morphology, I don't think they were ever going to work. Good luck!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
