Abdominal pain after IUI?

[butterflybabies]

Hi,
I had my 1st IUI on Friday so Im not sure on how Im supposed to feel. I am 4dpiui and Ive been feeling really gassy and had sharp pain in my stomach right about where my uterus would be and feel like I have to poop all the time..Sorry TMI. Also for the last 3 days everytime I go pee and you know how you relax your stomach muscle's to do the deed well I kept getting that sharp pain..now its just a constant pain. Not to bad that I cant go on about my day but it is always there..Is that normal??
Thanks Ladies..
SSBD

Hi nice to see a new bee on iui,,,pray this is ur cycle,,,and u get a BFP this month,,,
And the pain,,some experience that kind of pain,,but i do experience great pain with my both iui`s and i have read this pain is due to the instruments playing there,,and as griggsy said,,a shock,,so it bleeds,,,my bleeding was heavy with first IUi,,and the pain usually is accompanied by that of ovulation,,,That is only cervicla bleeding, it will stop in 2-3 days,,
Weel ,i added u as my friend,,how many follies did u have,,,,
And take care,,ssbd to you:)

Thanks ladies.. my stomach pains started before I started taking the progestrone suppositories...I dont have that sharp pain when I pee anymore (as of today) but am having mild pain right in the middle of my stomach about 5 inches below my belly button..the 2ww is killing me..and Im trying to stay positive but also dont want to get my hopes up...

My first IUI I had sharp pains, and I also spotted for a few days. Your uterus is in shock from being poked and having the cathader put in it. If it doesn't stop by tomorrow or the next day I would call your RE and ask just to be sure.

Best of luck!!!! SSBD to you!

are you on progesterone?? that can cause the bloated, constipated type of feel along with cramping too... i had simliar pains the month we got preg! : )   and have also had pressure/sharp pains when urinating when i've had a cyst that developed too.(it almost feels like i can't empty my bladder completely). so i think its ok.. as long as you are still urinating enough and not short of breath i think it is ok! GOOD LUCK during your tww and hopefully a BFP awaits you! : )
