It was very painful the first day, but the last two days I have just felt kinda crampy and a little bloated. It makes sense that it would be from the follicles. I had four that were mature and a couple other that were  close. I hope that is a good sign. I am not liking the wait though. I was not told anything about the progesterone support. Have you done that on all of your IUI's? Is that something I should do?

Well good luck everyone!!! Let's hope we all get BFP's  this month!!!!!

Hello,
I've had several IUI's. All of them were a LITTLE uncomfortable (kinda like after a papsmear). However, when i was on injectibles, the pain was TERRIBLE to the point of making me throw up. I agree with kmcarino though, it was probably due to ovulation/follies/etc. Also, the RE said that the can spin the sperm down an extra time too just in case the fluid was causing some pain.

I just had my third IUI yesterday and I had pain too after the IUI.  I think the pain is from ovulation since i had a lot of follicles.  It was more painful for me the last cycle.  Don't wirry, what you are feeling is completely normal.  Are you going to take progesterone support?  I am starting tonight.  We are all in the tww together then.  We should keep in touch about any symptoms.  Good luck!  I hope we all get bfps this time!

Oh yes i relate to this. I have had 3 IUIs and they all hurt for me. It should settle in a day or so. I had spotting afterward that settle down after a day.
