IUI today at almost 2 yrs TTC mark

Instead of IVF #2, I had my unplanned IUI this morning.  They said DH's SA numbers were still lower than they'd like, but better than last time for IVF, so I'm hoping this is a good sign.  I felt crampy afterwards, then if faded, and now I feel crampy again, and my side hurts and I swear my butt still hurts from where I did the HCG trigger on Thurs night.  I'm sure that's normal though, right?  For IVF #1, I did PIO, but for IUI I'm starting crinone on Monday.  No shots, so that's good I guess. I'm going in next Friday 10/22 for a test to check my progesterone levels and then Friday 10/29 they said to come for beta if AF hasn't shown by then. 

I'm hoping this unplanned IUI is just the ticket we need.  We reach our 2 year TTC anniversary on 10/20 and I never expected it to take this long.  I know some of you ladies have been trying longer, and are so strong.  I thank you for your wisdom and support.
