Hello ladies - was just stopping in here briefly because I'm doing AC but I'm not a LTTTCer so I feel a little like a fraud being in here..

Just wanted to ask - those of you that have IUIs - have you ever had them be so painful you couldn't function? I lay down in the backseat of my car for 5 mins after my first IUI with AD sperm last month, then tried to drive home - I had to pull over after 10 mins to throw up the pain was so agonising...
I normally get some pain even with a pap smear, and the doctor warned me that I might have some cramping because he 'was putting it very high up', but is that extreme amount of pain normal for anyone? Should I mention it to my FS when I see him next? Should I expect the same level of pain every time do you think?

Part of me can't help thinking that it was because it was frozen sperm - I get the impression they just defrost it enough so it's liquid but it'd still be darn cold - maybe I got uterus-freeze - like brain-freeze when you eat icecream... Am I being silly or does that sound plausible?

Thanks in advance for letting me pick your brains...
