you may or may not be stimulated prior to ovulation to produce more than 1 egg. you will have a trigger shot approx 36-48 hours prior to you insemintation.
they will bring you in let you know the sperm count after wash then the will inseminate you usually without any sedation. with me i need to be put to sleep as i have a tight cervix and it is very painful to bypass it to access my uterus.
but the normal protocol is usually pain free for women and most compare it to a pap smear. after it you may have slight cramping and spotting from the procedure but it should only be minimal not unbearable.
during the 2 ww you may be administered luteal phase support if the specialist thinks you need it.
goodluck to you
