IUI Sample Counts

Has anyone who has done IUIs at different clinics noticed that the sperm counts in the sample are drastically different? Like at RSofNY and LIIVF, DH's counts were usually barely at the 5m they're looking for. At RMA and Cornell they have been between 20m and 60m.

Why would that be? We can't find any logical pattern in sleeping, diet, period of abstinence. We've been all over each other Chat Icon Chat Icon the last few days, so he abstained for less than 24 hours for today's sample and it was 30m (.5ml @61m/ml) Not that it matters if we're throwing tons of sperm at a bad egg, but I'm just scratching my head about what makes the difference.

Re: IUI Sample Counts

That is a HUGE difference. I know that the machines that they use all differ and some of them kill off more sperm then others, but that is a really big difference in samples.
