What does your natural cycle look like?

Well, I have tried accupuncture a couple of times, decreasing the caffeine, can't shake the diet soda habbit, pineapple core after IUI, Maca suppliments, green tea, raspberry tea, and basal body temp charting. My husband and I have gone through a total of 5 iui attempts since July. We got pregnant on round three, but lost the baby two weeks later. :( I have taken all of these months off mainly because of finances (insurance pays nothing), but also for the basal body temping. It has been two months so far and you can really tell when you ovulate. I want to make sure that my cycles are consistent before we try again. I would love to hear other's tips on what you are doing or what worked for you besides the usual accupuncture (can't afford that one).

    Hello all, may I first wish everyone the best of luck. I am new to the IUI. I just did my first one last Thursday and I am wondering if anyone out there has done two vials during there IUI Cycle. Currently my clinic only uses one per cycle the day after my LH surge. Any successful experience with one or any thoughts on if using two vials might be worth trying?

    I've been using ClearBlue Easy fertility monitor, basal body temp, and then also OPK sticks right around the high fertility days (based on my monitor results). We're going to start IUI in about a month, and I'm not sure yet if it will be with one or two vials. I also haven't decided yet whether to try unmedicated first or to use meds. My BBT chart looks ok. It's sort of jagged but it does increase in temp after the peak days. I did try Vitex for a few months to see if that would help my cycle, but I felt like it delayed my period, so I got nervous about it and stopped taking it. Lots to consider.
