Hi
I'm doing my first IUI this month (Aug) and go for my first blood test next week followed by a week of Gonal f injections and then 1st scan. I have no issues but my DH has low motility/morph due to low testosterone. I'm doing a medicated IUI because I think it's standard procedure so that they can control the treatment (but just guessing!)
My question is, I think I recall from my initial drugs meeting with the nurse a few months ago that we aren't allowed to BD at all during the treatment (or after the IUI) due to the risk of multiple pregnancies (and they will only do the IUI if there are no more than 2 mature follicles) but I've reading a lot of posts of people BD 36 hours before the IUI (so pretty much once they've triggered) and then 24 hours after the IUI. Has anyone who has gone through the NHS treatment BD'd more than just the IUI to increase chances or just had the IUI and left it to chance?
