I've tried IUI twice without any luck. Can you give me some advice on how to increase my chances of success with IUI? I'm planning to try again soon, so Id appreciate any tips on what precautions I should take before and after the procedure.

Before undergoing IUI again, it is important to follow certain precautions to increase the chances of success. Ensure that you and your partner are in good health and follow a healthy lifestyle. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and recreational drugs as they can affect fertility. Maintain a healthy weight as being underweight or overweight can impact fertility. Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. 5. Take prenatal vitamins containing folic acid to support a healthy pregnancy. Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or counseling. Avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting around the time of IUI to prevent any complications. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding medication and timing of the procedure.
