Sleep as much as you can right now because trust me, once the baby is here, sleep will become a luxury! Just eat your veggies, drink water, and ignore all the random unsolicited advice from relatives.

I just delivered last month and throughout my pregnancy, warm water baths were my absolute savior for leg cramps. Just avoid tubs where you sit in hot water for long, and stick to a quick warm shower. It really helps to soothe the body, especially in the third trimester.

I am also hoping to start our treatment soon. From what I've gathered, you should wait at least 14 days after the IUI procedure. Testing too early can give a false positive because of the trigger shot.

Plain soda is a quick fix when you are traveling or at work and feeling bloated. It's safe in moderation, but don't replace your daily water intake with it. Keep a bottle of water handy instead to stay hydrated.

Please don't try to analyze blood reports yourself. High hCG can mean various things, so check with your gynac for a proper ultrasound scan. They are the best ones to explain.
