Here is the basic process. They check you day 3 of your period to make sure you have no cysts on the ovaries (doing vaginal ultrasound). You take your drugs or whatever they give you. You go back and they to another ultrasound to make sure you have a follicle that is about ready to release. Sometimes you take a trigger shot. You go in 36 hour after trigger shot and have the IUI.
The IUI itself - you bring in a sample from your hubby. They "wash" it to remove everything but sperm. You lay back in chair, speculum goes in, they have a small plastic catheter they feed in through the cervix and shoot the sperm in. They put it right next to the fallopian tubes. Dont worry, you can barely feel it. Nothing to get stressed about. They leave you in the chair for about 15 minutes to let the guys go swimming upward.
You can do it only one day or come back the next for another round.
The IUI process is when a very thin flexible catheter is inserted through the cervix and washed sperm is injected into the uterus.
Most women consider IUI to be fairly painless, along the same lines as having a pap smear. There can be some cramping afterward, but often what is felt is ovulation-related rather than from the IUI. The catheter often isn't felt because the cervix is already slightly open for ovulation
You will be given instructions on how long beforehand and afterwards to abstain from intercourse, and any resting periods after the IUI.
