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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
