a. Iron-rich foods: Include red meat, poultry, fish (heme sources), beans, lentils, spinach (non-heme sources).
b. Enhance absorption: Pair with vitamin C-rich foods (e.g., citrus fruits). Avoid tea/coffee with meals. -
Iron Supplementation

b. Dosage and timing: Follow healthcare provider's advice; take on an empty stomach if tolerated.

A negative HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) 4 days after IUI doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant. Possible reasons for a false negative: 1. _Too early_: HCG levels might not be high enough to detect. 2. _Insufficient HCG sensitivity_: HPT sensitivity varies; some tests might not detect low HCG levels. 3. _Diluted urine_: If you drank excessive water before testing, your urine might be too diluted. Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.
