second IUI

Hello Ladies...I did my second IUI yesterday along with 100mg of clomid. IUI was in the am, and I felt slight cramping the whole day. I remember I felt the same way after my first IUI which was earlier this month. But today I still feel the same plus nausea. Not that I'm complaining or anything, anything for a BFP, right? Anyway, thought you kind ladies out there could share some of your experiment with IUI. We've been ttc-ing for about 3 years now and I'm 34 yo, dh is 39. I've been taking clomid for 6 cycles now (not continuously). Thank you in advance for your kind response.

After my first IUI as soon as I got home , I started to cramp too. I felt the pain everytime I used the rest room to pee. Are you feeling that pain. I was worried and called the doctor and that stupid doctor's assistant said it must be infection prescribed antibiotics. The pain stopped after few days and in two weeks when I tested it was BFP. But, I lost the baby in 18th week. We are trying  to conceive past three years. Recently (11/22) had second miscarriage after first IVF. Good luck to you. Dont lose hopes. You will succeed.

I just wanted to wish you luck this cycle.  I hope it works!
I am also 34 and ttc for 2 years.  Clomid didn't work for me either.
I will be doing my first IUI in 2 weeks but my doc told me that cramping is normal.

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your lost but keep on trying.
I don't feel any pain, just discomfort, so nothing serious, I hope. My doctor told me to try at least 3 times of IUI with clomid before moving on with other option. So, crossing my finger now and hopelessly hoping 2 weeks will pass soon.
Good luck to you too and you too wil succeed!

Thank you. Clomid didn't work for me. Started injection's and in the first IUI I got pregnant and lost. Tried 3 more times no success. Just had first round of IVF. Will go for FET next year. How many follicles did you have?Good luck to you.

I will try IUI this month.  will share my experience when I get it done next week.

sorry can't give you any info.  Just want to share and encourage you keep trying.

take care

I have 3 follicles this time. Last time I had 2. Seems like a small number to me, but I don't know. Hope that's enough. I don't mind to have twins, but I heard you're not likely to have twins with IUI, but more with IVF. I also told my doctor clomid doesn't seem to work for me, but he said since dh and I both don't have any problems, he'd start easy.

To Helen72 and BabyBlue07, thank you for the words of ecouragement. Good luck to us all!

Good luck.  I've had three IUIs.  Got BFP the first time but it turned out to ectopic (that was with two follicles).  Got BFN the second IUI (again two follicles).  Got BFP with my third IUI (only one follicle).  I'm 26wk3d pg now.

I hope very best for you!!

hi all,
i am 34 and this was my first month on injectibles for 10 days then hcg shot and an IUI. I have been cramping ever since the IUI (which was a week ago today). my RE said it is normal and nothing to be alarmed about. i cant believe i will find out in a week if i am pregnant....the past few months have be so draining...trying different medications. i am hoping to be blessed with a christmas surprise... good luck to all of you!!!!!

This was my first month on injectables and IUI.  I had cramping for several hours following the procedure.  I had it Thanksgiving morning.  It was like menstrual cramps....
I did Clomid for four months and my RE will not do it for more than that so we had to move on to injectables.  
I don't want to jinx myself, but I have to order my meds this weekend for them to arrive in time for next cycle...They come from overseas and take awhile......

Fingers crossed for you....and me!

Good luck!!  I've had 2 IUI's.  So far neither produced a BFP.  I was on 50 mg. Clomid for the 1st one and 100mg for the second.  Each time I felt crampy for the 1st 24 hrs after the IUI.  

I go in tomorrow for FSH, estradiol testing.  If all turns out normal, I'll see if my doc. will ok me a HCG trigger this time around to help with timing.  I also plan to try 2 IUI's this time.  I hear it takes an average of 3 - 4 IUI's for BFP.   I have a friend who was about your age and it only took one time for her.   Each time around your chance increases.  I know you're probably wanting to hear from people who've had successful IUI's.   But, I hope some of this helps.   Best of luck and lots of BBD.
