Had my second IUI today...Question at bottom
Well, it was CD 16 and no surge yet. Just like last month.
But last month I had to wait until CD 18 to get the insemination. Today I had one follie at 23 and one at 16. So they did the insemination this morning.
We weren't expecting it, so we were a little caught off guard. I had to call DH and have him bring my Ovidrell and get ready to "do his thing".
But we also got some bad news when they went to inseminate me. They said the sperm count was really low and very little motility.
So they said that while they would hope for the best with the IUI this cycle, we need to talk on Monday about moving to IVF and prepare for that.
So much for thinking positive this cycle. Kind of put a damper on that!!
My question, if anyone is online today...
We have the 2nd insemination tomorrow. Do you think it's better to BD tonight to increase our chances or hope if we don't BD tonight we can get the count higher for tomorrow??
TIA

My RE always said to refrain from the deed between inseminations to increase DH's count.

First Lauren
Second as someone with MF also, we always had better counts on the second day. My RE at the time said it was ironic but often happens when there is a MF. But I would not BD in between back to back IUIs, the fact that he ejaculated today should improve tomorrows count. Good luck and keep us posted.
