Hey guys, just wanted to ask, Is there anything I can do to improve my IUI experiance? With everything that went right this time, we still weren't planning on an IUI and I wondered if there was something else I could/should be doing. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't understand you post. You will do IUI next time? or are you saying you are in 2WW right now (having had an IUI)

Michelle-
I read on some other thread about something like mecca root, or something & it seemed that some people who took it had luck with it on natural cycles. I don't remember if they did IUI or not. I'll see if I can find the post & maybe you can check it out.
How many naturals are you gonna do? I'm assuming you're waiting to see what grows this time & then decide about the IUI.

We are doing the IUI this cycle if everything is good. This is our last natural cycle until we meet with the RE again, probably before the end of this cycle. But I do want to be prepared for the IUI this time, just in case!

well, I guess you could try what the IVFers do...drink pineapple juice (or take bromelain sp? tablets) after IUI and keep your feet warm (wear socks). I think you are already using some sort of ovulation monitor to determine the best time for IUI or your dr is determining it. Wishing you the best!
