9 Days past Second IUI - Bloated & Crampy - anyone else have these symptoms?

I'm new to the board, but I'm wondering if anyone else out there has experienced the same symptoms that I am currently feeling.  I had my second IUI on October 14th and today, 9 days after my IUI and 11 days past my trigger shot, I am so bloated and uncomfortable.  I have all the symptoms of AF coming, but my cycle is very long and I usually don't get AF until the 34th day.  So I'm assuming it's too early for that.  I'm doing progesterone suppositories, but I don't know if that would contribute to cramping and bloating.  I had very bad cramping 2 days ago, and today is it mild but constant since yesterday and all night, just feels tight the entire area below my belly button - but I am so bloated.  I barely fit my clothes.  I'm just wondering because I did 2 of these IUI cycles back to back months, and is this normal?  We're prepared to go another round of IUI if this one doesn't work to give my body a break.  I guess these symptoms carry over into every cycle like this?

Hi,

Most of us had these symptoms during these procedures. Bloating and cramping is normal after all these procedures. Also progesterone causes cramping and pregnancy like symptoms. You can do HPT after 2 days. When is your HCG testing scheduled? Good luck to have a positive result!

Ashi96 is right...  Everything you are feeling is normal. Some people have a stronger reaction to the trigger shots and progesterone.  They give me really bad mood swings too.... both up and down!  Its all worth it though!!!

Thank you ladies.  I feel better knowing this is 'normal'.  I take my blood test on Wednesday, October 28th...so crossing fingers and toes for a BFP!!  If not, we'll try try again.  Trying to stay positive.  :)
