I had my 2nd IUI yesterday - and with my first IUI and my IVF cycle, I got mildly hyperstimulated and was in SO much pain starting immediately - the morning after the trigger. I know it sounds ridiculous, because I'm THRILLED that I'm not in too much pain, but this time I haven't felt too much. Maybe the occassional stabbing pain that MAY be ovulation, but I've felt more O pain on nonmedicated cycles where I knew I O'd. Yesterday I was definitely bloated, but nothing painful or anything. Today I'm starting to feel the tender fullness like my ovaries are ballooning, but nothing like before. And I definitely don't have that hyperstimulated pain where the bloating at the top of my belly right under my rib cage hurts so bad. I have PCOS, so I had 4 mature follicles at 19-21mm, and about TEN others that were in the 14-16mm range, so I had a lot going on in there!
I KNOW I NEED TO RELAX!!! And that I'm being stupid - but I can't stop myself. I'm just worried that because I don't feel too much going on in there that it didn't work. Maybe I haven't O'd yet? My RE's office does IUI's only 12 hours past trigger. We did have a phenomenal sperm count - almost 100 million (yes, 100 - not 10) with 91% motility! So I keep telling myself that even if I O late, with that many sperm there's bound to be some left to do the job. Plus we BD'd last night and probably will again tonight.
I was just hoping to find some stories of women who had BFP's with IUI's where their IUI caused them very little discomfort.
