1st IUI...what is normal?

I had my first IUI last Thursday the 13th. My doctor said everything looked great, all the signs were there, and he thought our timing was right on. So after I left I felt a bit of discomfort when moving around and just rested the rest of the evening. I went to work the next day and some more discomfort (cramping/aching) but better than the day before. Then starting Saturday morning my back was killing me. IT has continued to hurt (sometimes more than others) and I have had cramping or a dull ache a lot. Especially on the left side, in the same spot. I have also had some twinges of stronger pain. I have slept a lot and have been having vivid dreams. I am afraid to read much into anything but I don't usually feel like this before my periods so I don't think it is that. I don't know if the IUI would cause this for this long...I doubt it as it was pretty much painless. I have felt dizzy some but I have had that problem before. My BBs are sore at times on the sides but not really on top. So I figure I am only 5-6 dpo. Has anyone had these experiences and it just been irritation from the IUI? I really don't want to get my hopes up. Any words of wisdom?

The days after the symptoms were like being on my period; sore boobs, mild cramping, tired, nausea. There is a website called tww.com or twoweekwait.com (can never remember which)if you want to check out your symptoms if you think you may be pregnant.
It's hard not to get your hopes up! When I told my sister I thought I was pregnant 10 days dpo she thought I was nuts! But I am now 20 weeks pregnant. Baby blessings to you both!
Good luck!
Oh a few more things...sorry this is so long...yesterday I could have swore I smelled dog poo in my office at work...no one else seemed to be smelling anything at all. Also, earlier in the week I had some diarrhea, but now i haven't gone since I had that. I had that a couple days in a row. At first I thought it might be what I ate, but I ate the same thing yesterday and did not have it. Now I seem to be heading the opposite way...towards constipation. What the heck?
Has anyone else had this weirdness going on?
"Will other fertility drugs interfere with my result?
Only fertility drugs that contain the pregnancy hormone hCG affect the test result. These drugs are usually given by injection, and testing too soon after the injection may give a false ‘Pregnant’ result. We recommend testing no sooner than 14 days from the last injection, unless your doctor or hospital has advised you otherwise."
