How do you feel, physically, after an IUI. Pain question.

TripMomma

I am about 12 hours out from my IUI. Starting late the night before I was feeling a little discomfort, even very early in the morning on the day of my IUI things were feeling achy. Felt that way as I walked in for the IUI, now since about an hour after the IUI I have been hurting. Crampy, achy, bloated, sharp shooting pains, really full and swollen feeling....it like hurts to stand up straight. I know to a lesser extent I have felt this way with my last 3 tries...but this one feels more intense. Am I the only one who experiences this discomfort and pain for a good 12-15 hours post IUI?

I was on letrozole and a low dose of gonal f, 38 hours before the trigger I only had a 22mm, a 16.5mm and a 16mm so I don't think it is OHSS...just wanted t see if I was alone and abnormal. My 2 successful IUI's were so long ago I can't really remember if I felt like this or not. Thanks.

That is how I felt after my IUI. I think it's pretty normal. Good luck!!!!!

I didn't have swollen feet. I was tired, bloated, and achy
