IUI #1 today!

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.
