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?

My pregnancy test was a Big Fat Not pregnant or no and AF = Aunt Flo , period. So your cramping was good? You are pregnant? That's wonderful if you are.

I had read that light cramping is an early pregnancy symptom so I was so sure that I was having implantation cramps and was pregnant. Unfortunately a lot of the early pregnancy symptoms are on the same page as PMS. OH well, better luck for me this time around I hope :)

I had cramps almost completely through my tww. The first cramps started after the IU and were very painful and lasted for about 5 or 6 days. Then they stopped only to start up again around day 10 past the IUI. Those at the end must have been due to AF because I got a BFN on my test. However the doctor did not put me on progestrone so I have no idea about this. I was also very tired but I think this was more due to lack of sleep due to the cramps and being worried. Have you tried posting this question about the progetrone capsules on the main Post a Question section? I've seen many women here state that they have been on these capsules and maybe they would be able to address this concern. I'm sorry I'm not any help in this department! :)

hi I just did my IUI last friday morning and i am on some progetrone capsules to be inserted into my vagina. Since yesterday day 3 of my IUI i am having cramps and very sleepy and tired. Is this normal????

No, no prometrium. And the trigger shot is DEFINITELY  out of my system. I had the shot on Saturday night as per dr.'s instructions so that would have been on the 2nd.Went in for the IUI on the 4th so that puts me 11 days out as of yesterday and 12 days out as of today. Took a home preg. test yesterday just to see. It came back negative. Surprisingly, it did not upset me at all. So although I was already 100% certain the shot was out of my system (the shot made me feel odd) having the test come back negative just made me 150% sure that the shot is definitely gone.
I made a decision last night and I am resolved. I'm not going to take any more tests because really at this point no matter what it says I'm not going to trust it. And after reading the fine print on the home test last night I was upset that they can claim 99% accuracy 5 days early and then admit that they aren't at all accurate.
My gums started bleeding last night and I couldn't stop crying this morning. So either I'm pregnant or I have an awful bad case of PMS (and I have gotten this sick before a period before so I'm not ruling that out just yet). If it's the latter I'm doing what I wanted to do about 5 days ago, taking one of the pain pills my OB/GYN prescribed for PMS so that I can actually get a little sleep. If I am pregnant I'll probably just cry again, curse the Tylenol for not working and then be very, very happy that I don't have to go through all of those God-awful fertility drugs again for a long, long time. I am past frustrated. I am actually to the point where I just want to punch something and go to bed and I just don't really care because I'm too crabby to care. Oh, that can't be good.
