What does an IUI feel like?
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 usually doesn’t feel like much since the cervix is already slightly open for ovulation — a poorly timed IUI might cause more discomfort at the cervix. See the personal experiences below for more details.
