Hello! well I don't have any experience with IUI until tomorrow morning! its my first time as well (first medicated cycle and first IUI)   from what I hear, they just put a small catheter thru your cervix (like a hysterosonogram) and inject the swimmers into your uterus (i'm supposed to drop off my husbands umm contribution) two hours before the actual IUI.. my RE said that I can go back to all activies as norm afterwards, but avoid hot tubs..... I understand month after month its soooo hard to take the let downs and disappointments.. so for me , gosh i just have been so down about all the bad news we've gotten.. that well i guess I just don't have my hopes up anymore... A part of me wants to be excited that this might actually help us get that BFP, but for the most part I think I would just be so shocked to actually get good news for once that i'm just not getting my hopes up!   GOOD LUCK!   Keep me updated! what day are you getting yours done? we should be around the same time it sounds!

This cycle I tried IUI.  I have it done on 3/7.  IUI can gives you more chance so just keep positive thinking.  Today is my 11DPIUI and i have extreme bbs sore, fatigue, increase my appertize.  sound like so promising, but i dare not to think at all.  All I can do is wait until AF show up next tues.  If not, i will do pregnancy test.

Just keep your fingers cross and hopefully you get BFP.

good luck

I had IUI twice and both times it was really quick and painless, sort of like your annual exam.  Don't be worried about the procedure.  
I hope it works for you and you will see that second line!
