Painful IUI

I had my first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> and it was the most painful experience I have ever gone through! Of course the speculum and tube through the cervix wasn’t the funnest thing, but it was when she injected the sperm that I almost came off the table!! I had terrible pain in my left ovary and the worst cramping of my life. It felt like someone had stuck a hot poker in my ovary, and set my legs and belly on fire! Has anyone else experienced this? I wondered if this is what people experienced with their HSG test when their tube was blocked?
