We were told to try naturally this cycle before our medicated IUI next cycle. We only DTD twice (O-3 and O-1). So, I know we should have done more. I was still recovering from my lap, so wasn't totally in the mood. </p> <p>I really don't have any advice. Sounds like you're doing better than me! I just thought it was funny that my DH said the exact same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1534614 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:21:27 +0000 pui 1534614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Yes there is a similar thing to preseed you can get at the pharmacy in Canada! It's called "Zestica" and it was recommended at my RE.</p> <p>ETA: I see you already got preseed lol. That's probably pretty much the same stuff anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1534606 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:18:58 +0000 babycanuck 1534606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright so I got b complex and pre-seed which I was happy to find in our pharmacy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1534358 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 12:14:11 +0000 littlek 1534358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I've heard that pineapple core is good. I also read that leafy greens are good for mens sperm motility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532964 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:10:29 +0000 FaithFertility 1532964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: I have heard that too.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532958 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:07:44 +0000 babycanuck 1532958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha thanks everyone. Will grab some lubricant and b complex tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532944 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:02:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1532944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Green tea before O (not too much after, as it can interfere with folic acid absorption), preseed/ConceivePlus, B complex. </p> <p>And, this might be total TMI. But my ND told me to make sure that you...ahem....enjoy yourself. The contractions suck swimmers up into your uterus ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532940 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 19:01:15 +0000 FaithFertility 1532940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I can relate ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532936 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:59:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 1532936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Usually, by the time we hit PreSeed time around O, there's little foreplay to be had. We both just want to get down to business, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532926 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:52:28 +0000 FaithFertility 1532926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Not to butt into your BD business, but I was told foreplay to him is not a good idea before BD saliva kills sperm...............if you catch my drift ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532892 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:29:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1532892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add some b complex. It has helped me with hormone levels and such and I think every time I've gotten pregnant I was taking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532889 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:27:55 +0000 LindsayInNY 1532889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: PreSeed is used/inserted before BDing... I think it says to insert it 10 minutes before or something? I just put it in and then we get to business for the most part. There's no foreplay done to me though since that stuff is down/in there, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532862 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:08:00 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1532862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: preseed comes with applicators. I use it before we start whenever we are BD in the FW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532857 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 18:05:31 +0000 babycanuck 1532857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: @AmeliaBedilia: @pui: really really stupid question...do you use it before you start BD or like...stop after you start foreplay and then continue on? I think we have one here called Zestica Fertility and it says they have the tubes or a spray.</p> <p>I don't have any issues with CM but I know these products promote friendly environments for the swimmers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532851 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:58:57 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1532851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I agree with @LindsayInNY: preseed can help with CM. I was using mucinex (not with sudafed) during the FW to help with CM, but stopped that since I think preseed is so much better. I agree with acupuncture, meditation, not getting up for 15-20 minutes after BD. There was another thread that had a lot of good ideas:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-kitchen-sink#post-1511299" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-kitchen-sink#post-1511299</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532841 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:55:07 +0000 LindsayInNY 1532841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: It's a fertility-friendly lube. I remember @pui: saying that there was a similar thing but under a different brand in Canada? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532837 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:54:09 +0000 babycanuck 1532837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: not yet, I don't even know what is it, have to look into it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532830 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:52:50 +0000 LindsayInNY 1532830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried PreSeed?</p> <p>I started acupuncture the middle of last cycle. I think it takes some time to work though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532810 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:40:28 +0000 littlek 1532810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did accupuncture, drank green tea, BD EOD until fertile week and BD ED during fertile period. Good luck!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532802 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:30:03 +0000 Crystal 1532802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not yet KU, but I have heard good things about drinking green tea and acupuncture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/last-chance-before-iui-if-you-got-ku-naturally-after-6-months#post-1532767 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 17:15:16 +0000 babycanuck 1532767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since coming to an agreement with my husband about naturally TTC for three months before doing IUI, give me your best advice for getting KU. We are DTD EOD from when AF finishes, I am taking omega 3 and prenatal vitamins. </p> <p>Anything else you can suggest? He said "stop worrying and just relax." MEN!</p> <p>Any foods I should make a point of eating? I'm already off caffeine and alcohol. </p>
