WLAB - the bleeding is normal, it is from the procedure. I think it is from the spectulam (spelling/phrase not sure - the big needle thing) grazing the cervix on its way in. I had a small amount of this on my 2nd IUI. No need to worry unless there is more blood OK.

OP's notes are in this thread, a few pages back. I will try to find them now for you. I would suggest going through your clinic- they should be looking after your entire treatment as a whole! Calling them to ask the question cant hurt - all you can do is ask why is it not ordered or required? Can I ask which clinic are you going through?
