IUI - Cramping

Hi ladies,

Curious if anyone who has done IUI can share their experiences.

I had an IUI 8 days ago. I started cramping off and on 2 days ago. It feels like when aunt flow is looming. Nothing requiring a pain reliever. But definitely noticeable - I’m bloated as well.

I was bloated and had soreness the day of the IUI and the day after and then things began to feel normal. So the cramping and bloating reappearing was surprising.

I definitely ovulated more than one egg. So I’m not sure if my body is already gearing up for a period a bit early and is extra bloated/crampy because of more than usual ovulation. Or if implantation could be happening.

TIA!
