Infertility

Anyone else exhausted the evening after IUI?

I had my first IUI this morning, and I literally have been crashing on the couch for the past few hours. I am EXHAUSTED. Is this common or does it indicate a potential problem? The IUI was not difficult (no pain, little cramping, etc)....just totally wiped out.

Re: Anyone else exhausted the evening after IUI?

  • I had mine this morning too, and came home and took a long nap.  If I didn't take a nap, I'm sure I would've been exhausted right now.  Good luck in the 2ww!!

  • I sure was after my first IUI...I think it was because we were both so stressed about it because it was our first and we didn't really know what to expect so neither of us slept a wink the night before. 

    I don't think there's any problem with you being tired...you've got a lot going on between the meds, the hormones, etc. It's all very exhausting!

  • Yes! I took a three hour nape a few hours after I got home! I am not sure if it's out bodies working or just the sheer adrenaline, but it seems normal.
