Ok so I had my first IUI today. The actual procedure did not hurt, but I had horrible bloating, cramps, and a low grade fever afterwards. This went on for about 5 hours. The fever went up to 100.4 so I sent an email to my RE about it. He said that it can be caused from ovulation when it is more than one follicle. He told me to take Buscapina for the cramps and fever. Buscapina is a Tylenol® like medicine with a stomach inflammation med included. I also took some GasX because a lot of people told me that gas is a big problem after IUI. I am feeling better, but not 100% yet. Hopefully, by tomorrow.
As for the IUI. We arrived at 8:30 this morning for Miguel to provide the semen sample. We had to return 2 hours later for the IUI. I went in immediately upon entering the room, the Dr said that Miguel had awesome numbers! Miguel's pre-wash count was 963 million and post-wash was 519 million!! The RE tried to convince him to be a donor, but he said he would think about it. We agreed that he will donate, but first we have to get our sticky bean. He said I would feel a slight cramp when he inserted the tube, but I only felt an odd sensation when he injected the sperm. He then moved the bed practically upside down and had me close my legs for 10 minutes. The whole process from entering the room to leaving the room was about 20 minutes.
I have betas (pregnancy test that counts the amount of pregnancy hormone) on July 3. I am pretty sure that I will test before then, but blood tests are then. I am so excited, but so worried that I will have to go through this again next month.
I am on Estrogen 2mg until further notice as well as 200 mg Progesterone until AF or 12 weeks.
