Pulling sensation & cramps 9 days after IUI

[Nat256]

Has anyone else experienced a pulling sensation in their abdomen after an IUI. I had mine 9 days ago with terrible cramps. Those passed through, I felt great, cramps came back but they were dull and then last night along with dull cramps I had an odd pulling sensation on the right side of my abdomen. I'm not trying to read anything into it good or bad. But, it was just weird and uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this after an IUI? Is this normal?

i am on my third iui.  first two on chlomid and so is the hubby.  this last round was with injectables along with a trigger shot.  i went into the office on thursday of last week and got an ultra sound showing my two eggs.  they gave me the trigger shot that day and i went back friday for the iui.  this one is definitely different from the other two.  i also have been doing the suppositories started on sunday.  having mild pulling cramps and ridiculous hot flashes at the same time every morning.  i am depressed about this whole process since i never ever imagined i would experience this.  my hubby's count was low but very good motility per the doc.  with this last iui, they used 6 million.  i know it only takes one but lord.............im so tired of being disappointed.  this is the one gift i really want to give my hubby that i cannot buy....BABY DUST TO US ALL AND HOPE TO HAVE GOOD NEWS TO SHARE NEXT FRIDAY.

Hi there,
Reading all these posts somehow made things easier to deal with. My husband and have been ttc to for a year and no luck.  He has low sperm morphology and I am apparently fine.  We had our first IUI attempt (after taking 50mg clomid days 2-7 and a trigger shot the nite before IUI)  that was 14 days ago. I have been cramping since day two of my IUI, it may be your bodies reaction to the fertility drugs (if you took any).  We did a HPT on day 10 and got a BFN....we were sad but we're still hopeful.  I have long 36 day cycles like clockwork=annoying. Therefore the wait is even longer.  I am expecting my period on the 4th of Feb and hoping by some miracle that that first test was wrong.  I am probably ignoring the obvious and prolonging being upset but I am not ready to accept it yet.   thank you for sharing your stories, they are encouraging and hopeful.  Just have to stay positive and prepare for round 2! :) Baby dust to you all!

I think you may have taken the test early. I was told not to take a test until 2 weeks after IUI. I've had 3 IUI's ( very emotional time) Unfortunatley all 3 failed but we left with good results as hubby stopped smoking etc and sperm was loooking fantastic so we havnt given up hope.

Fingers crossed for you and a positive test X

Best of luck to you x

hi i did a pregnancy test on day 9 after iui came out negative does it mean i am not pregnant been trying for years.

So sorry to hear you got your period. I feel for you. The emotions of it all are so very hard. I believe my second one failed also, ive had cramp since i had it done and i got a show of blood yesterday (3 days after iui). To be honest i'll be pleased when the 3rd IUI is over and my hormones can return.

I wish you the best of the luck for a baby in the future xx
