IUI

  • Exercise After Intrauterine Insemination

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    My husband and I have been trying for 1 1/2; years to conceive and are now under the care of a reproductive endocrinologist. I have been an avid runner and do some moderate weight lifting for about 6 years now. We had the Intrauterine Insemination a little over a week ago and I am dying to work out, but many people have said to just hang tight for a couple of weeks.

    Is this necessary? Will running or lifting some weights have any affect on conception? Please advise...

  • Progesterone Suppository & Bleeding

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    I am 5 weeks pregnant and have been on progesterone suppositories since my IUI procedures.

    This morning I noticed grey/brown spotting with a little red mixed in. The amount was fairly small, just enough to partially fill a small panty liner. My RE said he didn't think it was anything to worry about and to just take it easy today.

    While I trust my RE, I'm still very scared that I am about to miscarry again. Other than M/C, what could cause bleeding like this?

  • Amanda's Journey Final entry -- week 33

    So here I sit. Months have gone by and I have not written. After writing my entry on my due date I just lost all goals for writing. There were just too many thoughts and happenings. Too many to put into words. It sounds like an excuse and it probably is. I guess I was just overwhelmed with it all.
