The IUI Experience

5 August 2008
Written by: Amy Posted under Baby Batter

I think most people have gone through a dozen IUI’s before moving on to IVF.  This was our first IUI.  I have to say that it was much easier then I expected.  Sure the meds were hard, but I was taking them for IVF anyway.  They make me tired, moody, bitchy…  But the procedure itself was a breeze compared to everything else. 

Get naked, straddle the stirrups, and catheter insertion.  The whole thing probably took 5 minutes (if you don’t count the 20+ minutes we were waiting for the DR in the exam room).  I didn’t even feel the catheter. 

Assuming I ovulated the day of the IUI, I’m now 6 DPO.  I’m not in any hurry to test since it’s too early anyway.  We’ll see how it goes as the time comes closer.

    IUI’s are so easy, I couldn’t believe it when I had my first one.
    Good luck!

    Thanks! Stranger things have happened then someone getting pregnant from a converted IVF. We’ll see…
