Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well. I had my IUI 7/28 and 7/29 (I'm 6dpIUI). Last night, I felt cramps like my period. I know that can't be because I had my IUI on CD 10, so I would only be CD 16. Today I feel a little bloated and am having cramps on and off. I am on progesterone and have no bleeding. Have any of you experienced this? Last month, I was pregnant only beta of 24 but didn't quite feel like this.

Hi Vanna,

We are 4dpIUI and my wife (we are a lesbian couple) is taking progesterone as well and she has been crampy on and off since the IUI. They woke her up one night, I think it was 2 days after though, so maybe that had to do with the procedure itself. Who knows??!! This is our first IUI, so we don't know what's going on.

Hi Vanessa,
I just wanted to say hi and wish you the best. Perhaps the cramping is your little one starting to burrow in. I know how hard it is to wait and wonder. Are you on progesterone? That can certainly cause the cramping.

Deanna,

How are you? It's been a long time. Yes, I am on progesterone but have more cramping this cycle with the injections. I took the progesterone with my nonmedicated cycles and didn't feel cramping. Anyway, whatever happens will. I hate the end of the cycle when you wait for the phone call. So much pressure!
I've been thinking about you. I sent you an email. I hope you are doing well. Don't lose faith.

Gadgetsmama,

How is your wife doing? The waiting is the worst part. I'm hanging in there. I still have cramps and I'm starting to get nervous about my beta. I'm getting it on 8/12. I'll be on vacation that day so that's good. I'll be thinking of you.

Hi,
I am new to the board. I am 4dpIUI and am also crampy. I am not on progesterone? The cramps aren't to bad, but I am glad to see it can be normal.

Hi Vanna,

Thanks for asking about her. She's doing pretty well. The cramps have slowed down and now she just talks about feeling really bloated and she's constipated too. Maybe the progesterone? Glad to hear you are hanging in there. Good luck on the 12th!

7dpIUI and a little more crampy today than I have been, would still be to early for my next period. Hoping this is a good sign!

All I have to say is..........I HOPE EVERYONE GET'S THEIR BFP THIS MONTH..!!

I hope the cramping is being caused by implantation rather than the darn progesterone..I'm rooting for everyone.
