Hi new member here, just had first IUI

Hi Everyone!
So I'm new here. My DH and I have been trying to concieve for a year and a half and just had our first IUI on Friday. We had male factor fertility issues and sperm count has gone way up due to urologist putting him on Clomid for 90 days. Yay! So, now we're trying to conceive through IUI, fingers crossed! I had an early surge due to Clomid for five days (CD10) and when I went for second ultrasound to check follicles, I had three good follicles on right side, one being dominant at 20mm (other two were 12mm and 14mm). So, we actually did IUI two hours later! My DH's post sperm wash was 6million (they said that was good). I'm 33 and my DH is 44, so we really hope to get pregnant soon! We want a little one so bad!
So it's been only 2 days post IUI and I'm having all kinds of fluttering feelings in my uterus. I can feel all sorts of things going on down there and it feels really weird! I know they say you can't feel implantation/fertilization, but I've NEVER felt anything like this before. Does anyone know what it could possibly be?? 2WW is going excruciatingly slow!
I know this is only our first IUI and I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up because BFP on first IUI is rare, but it's really hard. Lol. Any positive stories or experiences from past IUI's would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Hi new member here, just had first IUI
The best thing to do in the 2ww is to STAY BUSY. Take up a hobby, read a really good book, etc. If you have too much time on your hands to think, you'll drive yourself nuts. Definitely stick around and let us know how your beta went. ;-)

2 Clomid IUI's + 4 injectable IUI's= 5 BFNs and 1 mc
If you don't mind me asking, do you know how much the Clomid improved your husband's SA numbers? I am curious because my DH has been taking Clomid since November per his urologist. He just had blood work recently and his testosterone is back up in the normal range (was low 100s and now with the medication it is in the mid 600s), however, his SA from this week came back as "borderline". The count and motility were both normal, but his morphology was one percent lower than what is considered normal.
