    Hi! My wife and I too will be starting our first attempt with IUI this week! I will be carrying. It is exciting and very nerve-wracking at the same time!!! The best advice I have heard is to just stay calm and don't stress. I know the percentage for success the first time isn't the greatest but hopefully we will both have a little luck on our side :) To prepare, I have been taking prenatal and some other vitamins. Eating lots of pineapple and ice cream too (which hasn't been terrible) Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated too! Nice to hear some one just starting our like us. Here to support if you need, wishing you all the best.

    L!! Thank you for the reply!! My wife started her menstrual cycle today and will be starting her round of femara on Wednesday! And has blood tests tomorrow morning. And she will be doing an ultrasound and HSG on the 21st!! She is very scared about the HSG she has never had one. :(. But hopefully all is well and we should be inseminating between the 24th and 26th!! Ahh we are so excited!! Sorry for my rambling haha I can't help it. :). What does the pinapple and ice cream help with? I have heard if you drink 100% pomegranate juice before you ovulate (not during) that he helps thinken your uturs lining. My wife has been taking prenatal for a few months now. We are a little worried tho about our samples tho our favorite donor only had IVF samples left and we looked at others but something kept pulling us towards him. I know they recommend IUI or ICI for IUI and its unwashed right now sitting at 5 million so we might have to use two or even three at a time to get a god percentage of mobility of the sperm. But he has 5 to 10 pregnancy range. Oh I also heard while you're on your period that eating a lot of grains and food with iron and vitamin C helps too. I truly wish you and your wife luck on baby journey!! Please keep me updated and I will do the same! Its nice to have someone to talk to about this. We haven't really told anyone. :).

    Today is our big day. At the office waiting for our first IUI ��. Everything is going as planned, mature egg present.. Had the hcg trigger shot yesterday. I believe this might be the longest 2 weeks of our lives!!! I'm sure the IVF samples will be ok for you, our doctor keeps saying that anything 5 million or greater is good. Good luck with the HSG.. I didn't have one so I have no advice to offer there. Sending positive energy your way!
