Day 6 after IUI

Well my wife is doing great 6 day after IUI.... However she's up and down, tired and not... Cramping and very bloated... A little pressure and pains...

Anyone who's had a positive IUI did you experience any of this?!? Should I be buying her anything??? Lol

Re: Day 6 after IUI

  • Good call on the ice cream!! I'll get her some this morning!

  • Honestly, I had no symptoms during any of my TWWs. The two times I became pregnant I had some cramping the same day as a positive pregnancy test.... The first TWW wait can be really tricky to the mind... Just concentrate on not reading too much into symptoms, because as many people who have been where you are would agree, it is really easy to manifest things when you want something so bad!!
    Hope TTC is a quick process for you all!

  • Thank u!! We will hopefully do an at home test mid week:)
  • I'm in the same boat, waiting to test but wondering if everything is a sign. I'm just considering anything my body is telling me is what it needs. If I am hungry I grab a healthy snack, sleepy at 8pm I go to bed. If I'm not pregnant oh well, something must be up and I will be well rested for the next cycle. Something C did for me this weekend was cheap, easy and made me feel great. While out running errands we stopped in a few stores and strolled through the baby sections. Didn't buy anything but did take a few pictures of things we liked or talked about things we didn't. As long as it doesn't contribute to getting your hopes up it is a fun and harmless afternoon:)
  • I agree with @doodah1013 try not to symptom watch.  The month I got me positive I had no symptoms and was convinced it didn't work.  So many of the signs of pregnancy are the same signs of AF coming.

  • Also, day 6 is about the earliest that implantation can happen, so the likelihood of any symptoms being pregnancy related is extremely slim. It is so hard not to read into every little thing. I definitely did my first cycle. If you google what she is feeling, I promise you will find someone who experienced the same things and got a BFP. Try not to read too much into all of that either. It is easier said than done, but it might help you both stay a little more sane.
