Once the doctor leaves you have to lie there for 10-12 minutes and it is best not to lay there worrying.<br />If you can distract yourself with a book it really helps. Also for the next 48 hours you should avoid strenous activities, and water in the vagina (no swimming, hot tubs or even baths...though showers are ok)Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-72900728702493587662009-02-23T19:38:00.000-05:002009-02-23T19:38:00.000-05:00I have done the IUI proceedure 4 times now.

Try to relax as much as possible as I'm sure the more relaxed you are the less uncomfortable it feels. It helped when I took slow deep breaths throughout the procedure. I also believe strongly in prayer. I am now doing the 2 week wait and it is killing me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-41130344046236869812008-11-13T05:26:00.000-05:002008-11-13T05:26:00.000-05:00I AM VERY NERVOUS FOR MY IUI, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME,W...I AM VERY NERVOUS FOR MY IUI, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME,WE ARE TRYING HARD 4 A BABY SINCE 1 N HALF YEARS,BUT GOD PLEASE HELP IN THIS TIME......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-82155335034804771372008-11-04T13:30:00.000-05:002008-11-04T13:30:00.000-05:00I wish you the best.

I can't say that I know exactly what you are going through, but I can relate to the disappointments and hurt feelings you are probably experiencing. My heart goes out to you and your husband. I will be doing my first IUI this week and I'm pretty nervous. I have read a lot about IUI so I know what to expect but it is still a very emotional process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-5453347134054201182008-08-25T15:13:00.000-04:002008-08-25T15:13:00.000-04:00I just had a natural IUI on Saturday (maybe I shou...I just had a natural IUI on Saturday (maybe I should have been in Shul praying) and my husband's numbers (2 million) weren't good. I am hoping and praying that it works. We are coming away from a horrible situation (3 months ago we lost our twin girls at 24 weeks who were conceived on our 2nd IUI cycle). Any suggestions for me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
