3rd IUI Success!
So excited that I can say that my 3rd IUI was a success! I wouldn't normally write a post, but I wanted to share a few things that I did bc I know that I would have continued to try EVERYTHiNG!
So, I am a teacher and I had to go on my second day of school for my insemination. That was already a downer for me bc I HATE being absent! I truly wanted to "get it over with" because IVF was the next step and I didn't think IUI was going to work since the first 2 failed. On the other hand, I wanted to take the 2WW a little differently to see if it helped. Here are the things that I did:
-split a pineapple into 5 pieces (with core!) and ate 1/5 each day starting on the day of the IUI.
-drank a shit ton of water!
-did not touch alcohol, except half a glass of champagne at a wedding. This may seem like a stupid one to some of you, but after TTC for as long as some of us do, I liked to indulge in some here and there other months.
-tried hard to relax... Which included mediation and acupuncture. Some days mediation was just putting on relaxing music for 10 minutes and lying down.
-kept my feet warm!! I wore socks to bed every night and most nights did a warm foot bath too! Apparently, warm feet=warm uterus?
-whole grains... Just an overall healthy diet
That's all I can think of for now. I also did not focus on any symptoms bc I was so busy with school. The only thing that I noticed was back pain and heightened smell the day before my IUI. I hope this helps someone else! Don't give up!!! I know how it feels to get a negative every month and feel terrible. Good luck and I hope this helps someone else!
