TTC after 35

6 days past IUI - very serious cramps

CheezeFaceCheezeFace member
edited November 2013 in TTC after 35
This is nothing like my 1st IUI with a BFP.  This feels very different.  I've been uncomfortable for 2.5 days now.  At first I thought it was possible implantation. Now I'm not so sure.  The cramps are strong enough to wake me up at night.  Unless I'm heading towards Octomom status, I'm almost convinced something isn't right this time.

Anyone have experience with uncomfortable (and long!) implantation?  What else could it be?  

***Added Edit****
I forgot to mention in the OP that I'm also a bit sick - running a low fever of 100*

Re: 6 days past IUI - very serious cramps

  • IFinTN said:
    Every one of my IUIs were different. Some crampy, some not. If your fever goes over 100.4 I would call the doctor just in case you have an infection from the IUI catheter. Highly unlikely but better safe than sorry.

    I agree with the infection concern, implantation wouldn't be that painful.

  • I second (or third) the advice to call the doctor about possible infection.  I would actually do it today if you aren't feeling better (not wait for the temperature to increase).

    Ugh.   You guys.  Omg.  So I booked a room at the ski resort for Saturday/Sunday night. I completely forgot about it until late morning Saturday.  A fun family get-away. 

    So about an hour after we arrive, DS starts to get sick.  I mean SICK.  So, so, so sick.  On everything in the room. He's burning up.  It's snowing.  We debate leaving and coming home.  We are able to find some $15 Tylenol, give him a dose and he perks up.  We stay.  It may have been the longest night of my life.  No one slept, the fever was highI have no idea how high b/c I don't carry a thermometer with me but it was high.  After the initial does of Tylenol, it stopped working to get the fever down. DS would scream if we touched him but kept asking for "hugs. help. hug."  It was the saddest thing I've ever heard.

    Anyway, we came home a day early.  I took my temperature and I was 101*.

    I called the doctor the minute I got in.  I'm waiting for her to call back.

    STUPID ILLNESS.

    (PS - I left an apology note, a nice tip and tried my best to clean up what I could. OMG so awful)

  • Feeling OK…I still judge my health on if I'd go to work or not - I would be going into the office the way I feel so I'm not that bad.  RE called and said to monitor myself today and try to naturally get the fever down…Cool showers, etc…the cramping has stopped.

    I'm at 99 so I feel fine.

    DS son is still super scary sick and we are going to the pedi this afternoon.
