Had my first IUI this morning, and I'm now resting. It was very quick and felt the same as a pap, so not too bad. Unfortunately, DHs sperm had low motility. The RE didn't go into detail, but wanted me to be positive. So, does anyone have any advice or what I should/shouldn't do during my 2ww?

Are you on progesterone support? If so, it can mimic classic pregnancy symptoms to include makingyour period "late." Otherwise, just find a way to distract yourself!! Good luck. Plenty of women have success on IUI #1!!
No, I'm not on any progesterone support. I'm having cramping and slight spotting right now. The RE did say not to test until 2 weeks if af doesn't come, bc the ovidrel can give me a false positive, and he doesn't want me going through that wave of emotions. Thank you!

Coming from someone who just finished her first 2WW last week, don't over think. That was the best advice I got. Every symptom that you feel, is more than likely the result of the Progesterone (if you are taking this). Don't stress, relax, don't test too early. I didn't start testing till about 12-13dpiui. Just keep thinking positive

Good luck to you. My clinic didn't put me on progesterone support until #3 (I am currently in the 2WW). I've learned not to make to much of symptoms I felt. Last cycle I thought maybe I was having implantation spotting and it turned out AF was making an early appearance. I never even took a pregnancy test with IUI #2. I turned to puzzles to help me during my 2WW the first time. Also I like to read so that helped too. Honestly 2WW sucks and its always in the back of my mind.
