IUI Questions???

[radhika]

Hi,

I had done IUI on saturday. my gyne doesnot told me anything whether i have to follow any precaution measures. What i have to do to get sucess. ray2:

Today she had made follicular study scan and told me that my follicles ruptured and told to take Susten 400 mg tabled vaginally.

What is the use of Susten 400 mg tablet and how to insert susten tablet inside the vagina?

Please show me light on this.

hi radhika,

1st thing to get sucess in IUI is you should not lose hope. Think Positive. Regarding your question T.Susten 400 is a progesterone tablet, which needed during pregnancy to maintain it. Progesterone supplements may therefore be prescribed for several weeks during early pregnancy to avoid miscarriage.

I had been advised to take it orally only. i don't know how to do with vaginally? Just google it and search.

Hi radhika,

I had prescribed with this tablet to maintain healthy baby. You can insert the tablet into the vagina while lying down in the bed. Don't get up for 1/2 an hour after inserting the table then the tablet dissolves completely.

You may have white discharge or precipitate like discharge. don't worry that is normal.

mathanki i had plenty of questions like you, when i had my 1st IUI. I think my answer will help you. Don't worry and stay with hope. i had my child after 8 IUI's.

1. Just take rest for the day alone and you can go back to every day life.
2. You can do simple exercise, yoga and dont do aerobics, and dont handle too much weight.
3. Yes, you can have sex. Doctors encourage it.
4. No restriction with food. and at last
5. You should take HPT test, if you missed the period for 10 days.

Hope my answers helps you.

Hi All, am Just new to this Forum. Just wondering if any one has been successful in conceiving with a Luteal phase insuuficiency and yet conceived with IUI?

[chitrakumar]

Hi vimal welcome to Penmai forum. I dont know about the sucess, but luteal phase defect can be treated with supported progestorone tablets or creams. did your doctor take steps on this.

Hi Chitra, thanks for ur reply. Yes, My doctor has conducted a follicular study for me and then she said that on the day of ovulation, the endometrium thickness should be around 8mm. but it was 6mm for me. So she prescribed me Susten200mg. She asked me to take it twice a day. That makes it 400mg per day. I am not sure if thats too much. I am scared to ask my doc. I did 1 IUI but with failure. All the reports are normal and been TTC for the past one year. Other than this luteal phase defect, the doc says every other thing is perfectly ok. Is there any natural ways to improve our progestrone levels?

I had searched from internet and got this, hope this helps you

Agnus Castus (Vitex or Chaste tree berry)
This is the herb of choice for helping to restore hormone imbalance and increasing fertility. In one study 48 women diagnosed with infertility took agnus castus daily for three months, 7 of them became pregnant during that time and 25 of them regained normal progesterone levels.
Agnus castus is particularly helpful for those women who have a luteal phase defect (shortened second half to the cycle) or those with high prolactin levels, because it stimulates the proper functioning of the pituitary gland which controls the hormones.
Agnus castus works to restore hormonal balance and can be used where there are hormone deficits as well as excesses it:

• Regulates periods
• Restarts periods which have stopped
• Helps with heavy bleeding
• Increases the ratio of progesterone to oestrogen by balancing excess oestrogen.
