Post IUI...

I had my first IUI on Oct. 25 and am halfway through my 2ww. I was wondering if there are pg symptoms that are normal post-IUI due to the meds you take? My boobs have been aching for days, especially at night, my appetite is off, thirsty like mad, mini cramps and gas (which is abnormal for me), and my acupuncturist says my heart rate is higher than it's been in the past.

To prep for the IUI I took follistim and ovidrel.

Anyone else experience this stuff? I am so hopeful but don't want to get my hopes up too much if it's all a med side-effect or psychosomatic.

Thanks!

I am just curious to see what other people say. I just had my IUI on Wednesday so I am only 1 day into my 2ww but it is good to know what I have to look forward to. Good luck and baby dust to you.

For me the progesterone gives PG like symptoms. I had sore boobs, and had to pee every 5 mins. My temps were higher then when i am not on meds. A lot of false hope. I am completely off meds this month and am 1ww for AF and I have absolutely no symptons, so I definitely think the meds are the culprits

I did IVF not IUI, but I got my BFP 6dpt. Which was 11dpo I did a hpt 4pdt just to make sure the trigger shot was gone, and it was. My boobs got huge and encreasingly sore around 5dpt. I also got really sensitive to smells.
Good luck. Keep us posted!

Thank you each so much for the input. I guess no matter what I'll drive myself crazy until I know for sure. But really good to know that what I'm feeling could be after-effects from the meds.

With my first IUI I had tons of symptoms (I was on clomid). Second IUI I was on femera and no symptoms. So, it could be meds, or you could be pregnant. I hope it is the latter!

I had similar symptoms when I took Ovidrel....but I hope it's not the meds for you!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
