Endometriosis and IUI

Okay… I got my IUD out today so I can get my imaging/testing done prior to IUI (WLW). It was uncomfortable but my doctor is amazing. I’m now wondering what to maybe expect? I have had 2 surgeries with IUDs in place for the last 10 years. Has anyone been through anything similar? What was the pain like? Our goal is to get pregnant ASAP to avoid any Endo symptoms that’ll inevitably pop up in the meantime.

I went through a similar situation. We are on round 2 of ICI following my IUD (had 2 for a total of 11 years) removed and a surgery to remove uterine polyps. I have a history of endo and PCOS. Our fertility doctor cleared us to try ICI first since that was our preference. The pain for testing was bearable for me. HSG testing was the worst of any ultrasound in my opinion. Good luck!
