Potentially stupid question inside

in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
We have an IUI scheduled for Sunday.  I have a raging head cold coming on (DS is sick, so I can see a preview of where this could be going).  I want to attack it with vitamin C (drops and tons of OJ) and echinacea.  Is that ok? Or could either of those things potentially interfere with the IUI/ovulation? (I have a call in to my nurse, just curious if anyone here knew.)

    I vote that it shouldn't change anything especially now. I have read that too much vitamin c can cause hostile cm but I think the advantage of the iui is it bypasses the CM. I could be wrong though.

    Ok, so the nurse called back - if anyone is interested :)  She said that herbal things like echinacea are fine, and that vitamins are fine, but that I should stay away from things like Sudafed which would dry up my CM (so I guess CM still is an issue?).  And then she said that as soon as I have the IUI I should act like I'm pregnant - so cutting out all medications that would be a no go while pregnant, and no coffee or alcohol! No drink 'til it's pink at my office!
