IUI Assistance

July 23, 2008

Dr Q is there any benefit to lying down for a few hours after an IUI? I have heard it 'bathes' the right idea with the sperm. Also, I have read that taking 75mg of asprin after an IUI increases blood flow and can assist with pregnancy. What are your thoughts?

Hi Scarley,

You know, even I have people lye down for a few minutes after an IUI...the benefits of this are even controversial...let alone lying down for a few hours, which many would argue is not necessary

Many do give low-dose aspirin, and ok to take especially if recommended by your doc

My RE always had me chill on the table for about 15-20 after an IUI and said not to go running or crazy activity afterwards - LOL!

Good luck with yours!
