DOs and DON'Ts after an IUI

After my IUI procedure, Dr. Fernandez said I can go back to my daily routine. She explained that the cervix doesn't remain open, so once the sperm is injected into the uterus it does not fall out. There's also no harm in doing exercise, although it should not be vigorous.

DOs and DON'Ts After IUI: (Source: http://www.ivfinpune.com/treatments.htm)

• Though the cervix will close after the IUI, keeping the newly deposited sperm where it should be, it is encouraged to continue lying down for 20-30 minutes post the IUI procedure. Feel free to get up and move about after that as like mentioned above the sperms will remain right in place.
• There is no restriction in activity. There is no need for bed rest, diet and travel restrictions.
• The couple may continue to have sex if they desire after the insemination procedure is over. In fact, it may aid conception. 
• Pain killer like buscopan can be taken, which the doctor will prescribe in case any pain or cramps is experienced after the procedure. NSAIDs like ibuprofen should be avoided though.
• After IUI, the woman will be asked to take some medications which help provide hormonal support and implantation of the embryo. These can be in the form of oral medications or suppositories. These should be taken as advised.
