I'm really confused right now. My pregnancy test came back negative after doing IUI, but I still haven't gotten my period. Should I stop taking progesterone, or is there something else I should consider?

If your pregnancy test is negative after IUI and your periods have not started, it is safe to stop taking progesterone. Progesterone is usually prescribed to support early pregnancy, so if you are not pregnant, there is no need to continue taking it.

View allI'm really worried about my situation. It seems like my left fallopian tube is blocked while the right one is open. I went through 18 months of AKT for the blockage issue, and then we tried IUI at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for three cycles. During the second cycle, I ended up having an ectopic pregnancy that lasted two months, but after that, the IUI just hasn't worked for us. Could you guide me on what should be the next step in treatment, besides IVF?
Considering your history of unilateral fallopian tube blockage, 18 months of Akt treatment, and three unsuccessful IUI cycles after an ectopic pregnancy, the next steps to consider before IVF could be: Laparoscopic tubal cannulation or tuboplasty to clear the blockage in the left fallopian tube; Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation to assess and potentially clear the blockage; or Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with ovarian stimulation using Gonadotropins or Letrozole to enhance egg production; consult a fertility specialist to discuss these options

Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer. To put things into perspective: - 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines. - The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg. If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips: 1. *Moderation is key*: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week). 2. *Balance your diet*: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid. You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.
