Pulling sensation & cramps 9 days after IUI

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?

Anyone that has been having dull cramping/twinges/pulling sensation have any of you being on prometrium. I am 6 dp IUI (had a double) and having those feelings but on prometrium so wasn't sure...This two week wait is killing me...

docsaf is right. If you did an hcg trigger it won't be out of your system until approx 10 days after and that would be tomorrow, right? I would seriously wait to test until at least 11 dpiui if not 12dpiui. Some women test on 10dpiui just to see if the hcg is out then test the next day and see what it says. If it was neg and then pos the next time then you know you're indeed pg. I advise to wait until at least until 12 dpiui to be sure.

Wait a little longer! If you had a trigger shot, it may still in your system. I also read that the hcg usually doesn't rise enough to be detected by HPT until 2-3 days after implantation. Some people get early BFP. Some people don't get a BFP until they are 14+ dpo. Good luck! SSBD! I hope you get a BFP this month.

I hope so. I'm trying to remember though that it could just be due to period but I've definitely never felt that before. I hope it's because of a pregnancy though. Should I go ahead and take a pregnancy test or wait it out. I'm only 9 days post IUI. Maybe I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch so to speak?

Good luck to you too!!!!

Some women here have said they had a pulling or tugging sensation before they got a BFP. Hopefully this will be the case with you!

Good Luck!!!

Good luck to you, big time!!! Yes, let me know what you find out!!! Did any of your cramps feeling like pulling or just cramps? This was just so weird. I usually had cramps before period but never anything like this. I'm only 9 days post IUI so I'm really afraid to take a home pregnancy test but really fighting it not to take one.
