cramps TWW post IUI

Question

I was wondering if  anyone has experienced crampin one week after IUI? I know from the posts that some women experience cramping immidiately after IUI, but mine is 8 days after IUI and the cramps are dull. 
Thanks

This will be our 2nd round of IUI but I noticed more cramping this time, so much that I wished i'd stayed hm fr wrk. I read that conception can take place w/n the nxt 12-48 hrs. How true is that?

I hope we all get our BFPs soon. I really want to take a HPT but I am trying to patient and wait untill Wednesday. They never warned me either, but from what I read online apparently cramps and even sore boobs can be a side effect.

Like docsaf I had an injectible (Ovidrel) so I too am going to ask my nurse about this when I go back in to the fertility doctor. Hopefully it's a good sign :)

I've never been pregnant before (never done this before) so I really don't know what is normal and what isn't at all :)   The nurse never really warned me of any side effects or anything!

Keep positive.

As of today I am exactly one week out from my IUI (had it on 05/04/09). I go in for testing on 05/18/09. I had horrific cramps (brought me to tears) up to four days after the IUI. Then they seemed to go away. They actually just kind of passed by. Last night I had dull cramping start up. It has been dull and nothing like the extremely painful cramps that I had initially. I have no idea if this is good or bad or what it means. Just wanted to let you know, you are not the only one and not alone.

Oh my god, I had the IUI on 5/01 one day after you. I have not tested yet but usually the first sign of pregnancy for me is the sore boobs which I dont have. So I am not keeping my hopes high. Good luck to you too.

I had my IUI on 4\30. I had mild cramping 5/7-5/9. My cramping is mild and dull - right in the middle, not to the side. I was hoping that they were implantation cramps. I tested this morning - 10dpo - and it was BFN. This is my first month that we used injectables - I produced a lot of follies and my estradiol was much higher than usual for me - so maybe that is a side effect. If no AF I go in for my beta on Thurs. If I do get my AF, I see the RE on Friday. I am going to ask what causes the cramping. Good luck. SSBD.
