Re: dummy IUI question

they don't tell you not to bd, but you might want to time it right so you get a higher sperm count for the iui. i had one iui last time and 2 this time. the difference...the first one was natural and i ovulated on my own, the 2nd one i was on clomid and they gave me the hcg shot to make me ovulate. the first day i went in for the iui i hadn't ovulated so i came back the next day again.

for the 2nd iui we bd 2 nights before and he still had a good count, but i wish we timed it better and bd 3-4 nights before so the count would be even higher.

IF you have MF, YES they tell you top abstain at leat 2 days before IUI. Why they would do 2 is if 1.) the count is low and 2) the timing isnt quite right after doing a sonogram. It basically doubles the chances.

That being said, we have MF, and always had very low counts. Weirdly enough the count on the 2nd day would be higher than the 1st day (when he had abstained 2 days). The RE at that time, had said that although weird, it was not that uncommon to have that happen.

So if you do two in a row, pay attention to which way was better.

This happened to us as well. And DH abstained for 3 days prior to first IUI.

We did 2 IUIs on 8/1 and 8/2. We refrained for 2 days before and DH's count was extremely high. The next day it went down by 1/2.

Good Luck!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
