Feelings after IUI? (girls who have been pg especially)

kelnyc · July 2011

I'm just curious as to how everyone else feels physically in the days after your IUI. I have had cramping almost continuously, and of course I am trying not to let it dscourage me, but it's difficult. I'm not sure if it feels more like AF or O cramps, but either way, it's there to annoy me. Is it normal to feel crummy during the 2ww? Does anyone just feel nothing and go about your business until test day? This happens to me to some degree every time, and I would love for once for my ute to just leave me alone so I'm not constantly dwelling on it and wondering if this month will be successful. Blech.

Awww, kel, I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time ((hugs)). I had noticeable cramps in the days after my IUI, too, but they subsided and now are just here and there.

I like to think of post-IUI cramps as a good thing - they are a sign of activity in my ute, which can only mean a BFP... right?!?! Right.

While I've never been PG, after my 2 IUIs I always had crampping and pain for about a week after. Usually just slight discomfort.

I have never been pregnant and this is only my first IUI, but I am having funny twinges/cramps these past two days. I am sorry they are messing with you. It's hard to ignore them and not contemplate their meaning

I felt crampy the day of and a few days after my IUIs. Then, for the rest of the 2ww I felt normal. In fact, I never even get phantom symptoms...not sure if that is good or bad.

Mine were different. During my first IUI I had no cramping while they were doing it or during my 2ww. During my second one I started cramping afterward and it continued for the whole 2ww pretty much. Unfortunatly both ended in BFN. That probably doesn't make you feel better sorry

I've had cramping and also intense pain after my two IUIs. The two cycles weren't the same (pain wise). I'm so sorry you are having discomfort. Hope the 2ww goes fast!

I would often get cramping the day of the IUI and for a day or two after, but nothing that lasted longer than that. The one cycle I did get pregnant (with a late implanter) I had AF cramps beginning at 13 dpiui and I started feeling like I was getting a stomach virus at 11 dpiui. GL, Kel! I hope the cramping means something good for you...2ww limbo sucks.

I had cramping, twinges, and sharp pains with all three IUI's and my IVF cycle. The first IUI was a BFP, so every single cycle I was convinced I was going to have another BFP because I felt exactly the way I did the first time (but I haven't seen two pink lines since our loss). I think we are just so "in tune" to our bodies during the 2ww that we are aware of feelings we used to just ignore or not notice.

There is only one way to know you are pregnant...wait and test.
