HI Ladies...Question for you. I had an IUI on Friday and one on Saturday. I have been spotting and cramping since Saturday. I called the RE and they said it was normal. But now it seems to have gotten heavier. And I think I passed a clog. (sorry if that was TMI) So I am freaking out that AF is here already. I havent even gotten to the 4th day wait yet. WTF. If 3 days after the IUI too soon to get AF? I will call them tomorrow but I dont think I will be able to sleep tonight. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I just being crazy? This is just NOT fair.
Lots of love to everyone.
You guys are great and so supportive.

I also had spotting and some cramping after both of my IUIs. The dr said it was a good sign that I spotted, but it wasn't very heavy. But my IUIs ended with a BFN so maybe yours is a better sign:) Hoping and praying with you!

No cramping or spotting for me either - I've had 5 IUIs in the last year. So maybe it is a good sign. All of mine ended in BFN - although I'm in my TWW right now for the 5th one. IUI done on 2/14.

I had cramping and spotting the day of the IUI. I never had any clots or anything though. I did get a BFP but remember everyone is different. Maybe you just bleed more than others or something. I really hope this is not your AF. Are you on any fertility meds? If so maybe that has something to do with it. (I am not on any fertility meds---so maybe that is the difference) Good luck---I hope this leads to your BFP

I did not have cramping or spotting with my 4 IUIs but they ended in a BFN so maybe this is a good sign. I can't imagien you would be getting AF. It would be way to early. I would call your RE again to let them know it is getting heavier. Keep us posted. I am hoping everything is ok and this is just implantation.

I've had the same exact problems, so you and I must have similar bodies! The 1st IUI, I spotted so much right away and lots of cramping so they check progesterone and said it was too early for AF so I must have a reaction to all the hormones I'm pumping into my body. The next time, he started giving me progesterone supplements to help with the bleeding. IT helps, adn I now only have very little spotting, but it still concerns me since I know most PG people don't get this kind of spotting, so I feel so discouraged every time. I'm at the end of my 2WW right now after my 3rd IUI with mild spotting, so I know how frustrating it is to see blood so early. Maybe ask your RE if progesterone will help with the bleeding.
