I didn't have either of those experiences...but I hope everything goes well and wish you luck!

I had spotting after my second IUI...also my cervix would not let them in, so they had to dialate it....not a pleasant experience...but no I haven't had problems with my uterus contracting...I thought someone told me that if it was put into the uterus correctly, it wouldn't come back out....

i didn't have spotting or anything but i heard the same as idahobaby if the sperm is put in the uterus correctly it shouldnt come back out. good luck

I had a little spotting after my second IUI. But, my RE said that I might. You shouldn't worry too much as long as it was only spotting.

As for the other issue, what do you mean the sample came back out? Did you have a little leakage or a lot? I always bring a pad with me because, as my nurse put it, what goes up, must come down.

I hope that helps.

I had spotting with both IUIs and a bit of leaking. Good luck!

I did not have spotting but I did have leakage which RE said was normal. Good luck!

I was told that leakage would not include sperm, but is just some of the fluid they use....

I too spotted with my first IUI but I dont think anything came back out. I will be having my 2nd in a week or so.

Thanks you for all your input. It sounds strange, but the uterus can contract and bring some of the sample back out (I felt mine do it and the dr. said it contracted when I felt it). How much of the sample may leak out I'm not sure. He suggested taking Ibuprofen prior to my appt. to decrease the chances of the uterus contracting. He told me not to worry about the spotting. It quits that day. I know he thought he'd have trouble passing the pippette since my cervical opening is small, but so far he's had no problem. And they can only pass the pippette so far (there are markings on it to let them know how far they can go). This last one, I'm not sure if it was all sample, because I also produced some CM and that has a high water content. I just felt really wet and it looks like it was wet on my pad/napkin too. So we'll see how it goes.

I had some spotting on a few of my IUIs. I never had any leakage of any kind, which I found surprising. I did lie down for fifteen minutes after each IUI as a precaution.
