Hello,

The symptoms you have mentioned are all related to hormone changes in your body.
None of them are signs of any allergic reaction.

However if it’s disturbing please XXXXXXX your consultant and they will help you.

Hope to have answered your query.

All the best.

All the above listed symptoms, if they are not any allergic effects, are they pregnancy symptoms? I am on 7th day after IUI.

Hi,

Thanks again.

It is too early to mention if they are related to pregnancy. The symptoms you have is most likely to be due to hormonal changes secondary to duphaston.

However if the symptoms persist then urine / blood pregnancy test on day 14 after IUI will confirm / rule out pregnancy.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
If all your queries are addressed, please close this discussion.

On Day 1 after IUI, My body temperature was 98.6 degrees. It continued to be the same until Day 8 after IUI. Today is Day 8 and today my body temperature XXXXXXX to 99.2 degrees. I am worried. Could this also be due to hormones?

Hello and thanks again,

In modern day clinical practise, looking at basal body temperature gives no added information.

So I don't think you need to worry about the basal body temperature recording. You have done IUI, so just relax and hope for the best.

Hope this helps. If all your concerns are addressed, please close this discussion. Yet, if you have any more follow ups, I will be glad to assist you further.
