Some Questions about IUI

[wannabeprego]

Hi ladies,

I just had a few questions for ladies that have done IUI. I have an initial consultation on the 14th of this month because my husband has a low count as a result of his vasectomy reversal, and we havent had any luck with TTC the old fashioned way, so I figured this would be the next best option. I tried 2 cycles with clomid 50 mg (listed in my ticker) and it is coming up on 2 years this October since he had his reversal as well, and still no luck with getting pregnant!!!

So my questions are what kind of testing if any did you ladies have to have before they allowed you to do IUI?

Does anyone know what the minimum count is to be eligible to do IUI? My DH had an SA done over 6 months ago and he had a count of 5 million with 36% motility, so I was worried that his count might be to low for IUI and that when I meet with the DR she might tell us it is to low?? He needs to have another SA done because his numbers may have improved since our first one, so we might get better results with our next one hopefully!!!

Thank you in advance for any advice or info that you ladies can give me!!!

Hi there

I too have an appointment on the 14th. I can't wait, which is a little sad i know, but i need the next step.

I have a hcosy that day & an appointment at which they've told us we will be discussing IUI. I don't really know the criteria for this IUI referral but i can tell you I have ovulation issues that they will address together with my OH's low sperm morphology/mobility. He does have a high count though which i think is good for IUI, so im not sure if they take that into account?

Sorry thats not too helpful, ask your consultant

good luck to us both for the 14th! xx
