First IUI

Hi Chloe,

Had my first IUI this morning - i would call it uncomfortable rather than painful - a bit like a smear test but takes a bit longer (or it did for me as i didn't have a full enough bladder so my womb was at a funny angle apparently. Would have helped if i'd known i was supposed to have a full bladder beforehand!). I had an HSG last year and found that very painful, like the world's worst period pain. So no, i would say that IUI is not anything like as painful as the HSG although everyone is different!

and so the 2WW begins.....

Cath

Hi Chloe - I too found the HSG really painful, I can happily tell you my experience with IUI was completely different - like the others say, like a smear test although not even as bad as they do don't do the 'scrape'. I didn't feel the catheter being inserted or anything. I've only had it once and hoping to have round 2 next week, so FX'd it will be as easy!
 
Hey Everyone ... i had my first IUI on the 9th of june.. with an HCG shot .. pregnyl 10000 and Duphaston 20 mg daily for 2 weeks.. i should be ideally testing on 25th of june.. but no symptoms so far... :( .. i had sore breasts on and off.. n the colour of my nipples changed too... (TMI?).. also... today i felt light cramping when i woke up.. like AF coming :(.. my body temp was high when i woke up .. though i do not measure it but i could feel it.. but it could be the HCG shot playing the games too???

I only had very mild cramping on and off and my nipples changed color. I had trigger shot and also on progesterone so I was not convinced with my BFP from POAS until my first blood test!

I am praying for you all girls!! Maybe some of you are already pregnant!! :happydance::happydance:
 
i dont think its my month ... i have started spotting and i guess its the AF... :( i feel so heart broken and sad... i was so hopeful and was expecting a BFP so badly ... :(
 
Mash, are you sure it's AF? Some say it's normal to have spotting in early pregnancy. Anyway, my heart goes out for you. :hugs:
If it's not this month, I think you will have your BFP in July!! Hang in there, I'm praying for you!
 
Hi everyone,
I have recently been referred by my first IUI after trying for 5 years and been told theres an 18 week wait or may have to wait till i'm 23. But can someone go through the IUI process as it what happens and what's this about injecting yourself??? It must be tough huh! Can't wait for my turn.... dunno if it will happens might opt for private treatment instead! advice anyone???/
 
Hi Romeo209, welcome. There's lots of info out there on IUI and i thought this one was good:

although the process may vary for each person depending on their circumstances. good luck and hope you don't have to wait long.

My first IUI didn't work unfortunately :nope: AF arrived yesterday - was different this time - no spotting for a couple of days like normal - just straight into it. Must be the HCG shot as not doing anything else differently to other months.

oh well - on the next round!

CathD
 
Sorry Cath! Hopefully next month will be lucky for you.
