Hi sharon1977 Good luck with the IUI, I also had my first one this month. I found it pretty straight forward, DH did his part first thing in the morning and then 1 1/2 hrs later I had the insemination. It was similar to a pap smear as an experience, and I had some cramping afterwards for about 2 days similar to what happens to me after a PS. I would have been completely fine to drive myself home afterwards, but DH had come in with me so I let him drive If you have any other questions I'm happy to answer them. GL!
