Due For IUI. On Herbal Supplements. Ultrasound Shows Thicker Lining And Good Size Follicle. Safe To Continue Supplement With HCG Trigger Shot?

I am going to be having an IUI in a couple of days. I have been taking herbal supplements (fertility tincture). So far with acupuncture and herbal tincture and according to the ultra sound monitoring I have a thicker lining and a good size follicle. Better than I have had when I had tried clomid in a past IUI attempt. Tomorrow my Dr. will determine if I will have a HCG trigger to induce ovulation and was wondering if it is safe to continue taking the herbal supplement if I am receiving a HCG trigger shot?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It is unlikely that the herbal supplement that you are on will have any effect on the fertility treatments that you are receiving. It is great news that things look better for the upcoming cycle, but there is no evidence of interactions between the herbal supplements you describe and the fertility medications. This could also be run by your fertility doctor, but in all likelihood it is okay to continue.

I hope that this helps.
