Hi sunbelle,
There are two common types of SO iui,
One is combo style ie clomid for 5-7 starting fr 2nd or 3rd day after af and self injections for 5-7 days thereafter. The effectiveness of the follicles growth will depend on what your dosage of puregon you require. My previous was 175 iu per injection each day. Dr will advise you accordingly. The other type is stronger ie self injections all the way for 10 days or more. You will go for a few scans to monitor your eggs sizes the more it is the better but u may get OHSS esp if you're on the 2nd so iui type ie 100 % self injection.
Diet wise is pretty much the same as Ivf ie drink more water after the so iui day and please eat a lot of egg whites to improve your eggs quality ( you need more protein ) I learnt these thru Ivf. Take manuka honey at least 12+ to boost your antibody so that you don't get sick easily during your treatment. Take it morning with empty stomach with plastic spoon. After you so iui day u need rest so try to take that day off if you r working. Walk less if can and no stress. No spicy food, no Liang food. Take chicken essence either instant or double boil essence to warm your womb for implantation. Another food is I heard but I nvr taken yet, roasted brazil nuts may help implantation. I probably will take if I fail my this round coz now I m 2 ww a bit late though. Last but not least pls don't miss your folic acid pills no matter what. Your hubby must also need to take vitamins to boost his soldiers coz in So iui you need the soldiers to be strong to swim to your many eggs that will ovulate after 36 hrs on your last hcg injection. Hope I make sense to you.
If you are kiasu and keen, you can do accupuncture before to help you hv better blood circulation over your womb area. I din do accu during my so iui. I wasn't as knowledgeable then.
I wish you well.
