IUI and Dr.B

Well looks like my next step is IUI...I dont know why but I am nervous...about all the steps for it...quick question. DH was wondering if he can bring "his goods" or he has to do it there. What was ur experience? Thanks ladies

Re: IUI and Dr.B

He can bring it. Or, you can bring it and he doesn't need to go tot he appointment. They even suggested that my DH can go on his lunch break if he needed to

Re: IUI and Dr.B

yes, either of you can bring it. I usually have DH drop his goods off & go back an hr later for the IUI.

Re: IUI and Dr.B

We have done it both ways, depending on the timing and when DH needed to get to work. Twice, he did it there, and once he did it at home and I brought the sample with me. You have to try to keep the sample body temperature and not expose it to the cold or the heat of the car, so I had the cup tucked under my arm in my jacket, while I was driving. It was quite a surreal experience!

Re: IUI and Dr.B

He an do either!

I always have my DH do it there just because I get too nervous about keeping it under the right conditions to get it there. You're not supposed to get it cold. .. etc. .. I hear of ladies putting the cup inside their bra, but the cup would never fit in mine

I figure doing it there is just easiest!

Re: IUI and Dr.B

I don't go to Dr. B but I have always brought DH's sample. He just feels more comfortable at home. The clinic told me it was fine as long as we get there within an hour. In the cold weather, they told me just to wrap in tinfoil. We've never had an issue. GL!

Re: IUI and Dr.B

i would rather he do it there. But he feels more comfortable doing it here at home...now its going to be an undercover mission to keep it warm haha
