My First IUI


Today is Oct 22 and the 7th day after my IUI. I just had my first IUI last Oct. 15, 2007 after failing the timed intercourse method. This is my second round of clomid although I have had 3 rounds before with my OBGYN with unmonitored cycle. This timed I am seeing a RE. All my basic test was found to be normal and my DH 's sperm count and motility were of flying colors, his ego was soaring high!
I had mild cramping after the procedure so I stayed home that day. The next day, I didnt feel anything and I was back to work.

4 years ago, when I was 33, I had a laparoscopic surgery to remove a huge cyst in my left ovary and 75% of the ovary was taken out. My right ovary is in good shape and healthy. Like many of you who have been under fertility treatments, I have been thru many Ultrasounds and lab works and I was on Clomid 50mg trial and Ovidrel trigger shots. Day10 of my cycle, my biggest follicle was only 16mm and have a couple of 14's, 10's and only 2 follicle on the left ovary. I also did the trigger shot with OVIDREL and I had to do it alone since my DH doesnt like any needles or seeing medical procedures.

Im only on Day 7 since the IUI, I would like to imagine that my breast is sore or I might have morning sickness but I do not feel any symptoms. I do have mild shooting pain or cramps on my belly occasionally that resembles like my AF is coming.

I have been very religious with my folic acid and I am on twice a day Progesterone therapy since the IUI.
Nobody likes morning sickness but this is the symptoms I am looking forward into. I am obsessed with any symptoms I could have.
Anyone on my cycle of IUI? Do you have preggy symptoms already?
My next RE visit will be Oct. 29 for pregnancy test but I am so hopeful, I cant wait to do POAS before that.
