SAIF/PAIF Welcome
Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
My first one fell on my day off so I didn't have to worry about work. I didn't have any bad cramping last time so I will just plan going to work afterwards. Thanks!!!

I had my first IUI last month and I had bad cramping afterwards. Also, my doctor told me I should go home and rest for 24 hours and keep my activities to a minimum, so I am definitely planning to go home after my next one this month.
