IUI

Sperm count and IUI

Anyone have success with IUI with sperm count at 10 million after washing? Our first round of IUI failed with 46 million and I'm at my second round now but his counts were only 10 million this time.

I dont have an answer for you but I find it interesting that you got a number for the sperm count at the time of the sperm washing for the IUI. My office said they don't do that analysis when performing the IUI and I thought that was a widely accepted practice. Didnt know you could count them post washing

the paper she gave me shows the pre-wash and post wash values for: volume, count, motility, and progression. The lab tech told me they don't do morphology on washing though. But they have to know those numbers because of the count is below 10, they won't do the IUI that day since there's no point.

@Mallory I didn't get a paper. And no numbers. If the 2nd IUI I am doing now fails I'm gonna get a second doctor's opinion. Starting to doubt my doctors

It only takes one. Are you triggering around ovulation or doing a natural cycle?

I think 10-20 million post wash is considered normal.

I was on letrozole for day 5-10 then did the Ovidrel trigger shot 2 days before the IUI. But I'm glad you told me 10 million is normal!

Sadly Desperate

I’ve been a step mom for over 6 years now and it seems like this year it has all went to hell. My relationship with my step kids, my feelings as a stepmom and everything else in general. I love my husband and he supports me every way he can I just don’t have anyone else in my situation that can help or understands what I’m going through. If anyone is willing to listen or just give their thoughts I would greatly appreciate it 💜

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx
