Okay so I'm in my first 'round' (I started 50 of clomid last night) and are hopefully (!!!) going to have our first IUI....I have a question for those who might know.... does an IUI hurt? I'm not a baby about pain I just like to know the facts going in! :)

    I have had 2, and am preparing for my third, and they don't hurt at all.  It is a very easy procedure, I was surprised about how easy it was really!  It only takes a few minutes, and then you can go about your day as normal.  Good Luck!

    I can barely feel it and I almost passed out from my HSG, so I don't have a high tolerance at all.

    I agree.  The HSG was worse.  If tou survived your HSG, the IUI is a breeze.  I found that I was crampy off and on during the day, but nothing terrible.

    ditto.  I found it uncomfortable, but not painful

    It hurt when he put the catheter in (so much that I yelled out), but my RE said that was not normal.

    I had b2b IUIs last month and the first one KILLED! Not kidding. The second one was a breeze like everyone said. I remember thinking "I never remember anyone saying anything about this!!" as I lay there hearing the Dr say "oh you felt that did you?"...geez, it was horrible, had really bad spotting that day after too. The next day they didn't have to use something - not sure what exactly - I just remember him saying to the new lets try it without today.

    Just wanted to give you the flip side, chance are it'll be a breeze though :-)

    Good luck!

    TTC since July 2007 a year on our own, 7 IUIs spread out over 2 years, all BFN IVF attempt #1 - September - antagonist protocol, called off CD8 due too poor response IVF attempt #2 - November - called off on CD11 due to low estrogen IVF attempt #3 - started stims Jan 25th...converted/cancelled Jan 31st...SWITCHED BACK TO IVF Feb 3rd! ER Feb 7th...lets DO this! ET Feb 12th, Beta #1 141, Beta #2 356, u/s #1 hb 141 bpm, u/s at 7 weeks 1 day no hb, missed m/c. So sad. IVF #4 scheduled for June 2011, last chance, this is it

    It didn't hurt the way an HSG did, but it was uncomfortable for me, and then I had pretty bad cramps the rest of teh day. ?I was thankful I wasn't going to work that day.

    I might be the exception, but mine hurt like a B@#ch!  My dr. actually was not sure if she could go through with it, because she could tell how much pain I was in.  I have a jacked up cervix, so I am sure that was the problem.  GL.
