Severe cramping/bloating after IUI?

JessandJeremy · September 2011

Yesterday I had to leave work due to severe cramping and pressure in my pelvic area. I got home, laid down, and took two tylenol which seemed to take the edge off. Last night I was better but the pressure has risen to my stomach. I had an u/s today with my RE to check everything out. She said that my ovaries are enlarged due to the amount of estrogen I had, but that is to be expected. She also said that it could be a really good sign in terms of the cycle being successful. WTH...makes no sense to me as I am only 2dpiui.

Anyone else experience this?

What was your E2 level?

I did 4 IUIs and I had one, maybe the first that was really uncomfortable for a while after, I thought maybe they hit your cervix with cath?

I had this my last IUI, the one that worked and is triplets (lol) I felt terrible and I wasn't even home to chill. I couldn't sit, had to stand or lay down, but it was better a day or so later.

I felt like crap after both my IUI's. I was just so uncomfortable. It took a good week or two to start feeling better. I actually felt worse after my IUI than my IVF.

Good luck to you!
