  Hi and welcome! I'm sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. Each IUI cycle has been different, but each and everytime exciting and nervous. My RE office is on the way to my work and sometimes I find myself turning into the office thinking I have an appointment. The first 2 weeks you'll see the RE/Nurses pretty often. On clomid you may have side effects. My suggestion is to try them at night (hot flashes, vivid dreams, excessive sweating) or you may have none. The IUI you'll feel pressure from the catheter and if you have ever had a biopsy it kinds reminds me of that. Sometimes you'll feel cramping, other times it's a breeze. Usually I wear a loose fitting outfit that day. If your DH or SO isn't there with you bring your phone/book because you'll be laying in the room for about 20 minutes. There's an IUI check-in you should post on too. Good Luck

  Thank you all so much I will join the 3T and IUI check in groups. I have had an HSG and there were no blockages, everything was normal. I just started the Clomid last night on CD 3 so far no side effects, hopefully it stays that way

  Welcome to 3T! Just a heads up, Clomid can have side effects, so don't be alarmed if you go from wanting kiss your H to wanting to kill him in the next minute. And frozen peas under the armpits while standing naked in front of the freezer works wonders for the hot flashes. You may not have any whatsoever while actually taking it and then find yourself experiencing side effects the week after you stop.. that's what happened with me. Completely normal. 

  
  

   

  Thanks so much for this @iputketchuponketchup!  I was worried it was just me or something else was going on that caused me to have headaches and hot flashes days after I finished the pills!
  

  Me: 31 (PCOS) possible right tube issues DH: 36 (SA normal) 

  Started dating in 2006, Married 2012 

  TTC since November 2013

  Cycle 1 (Dec. 2014) TI with Clomid, Trigger, & Progesterone CX due to no response

  Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,
