IUI Very soon but questions....

I have low motility and my wife is 100% fine. Our dr's both suggested IUI which will probably occur in the next 2 weeks. My wife is questioning me that she has been reading IUI will not work for low motility. I told her stop reading and we need to take a chance the Dr's recommended IUI over IVF. Is there anything I can do within the next 2 weeks to help my motility before the IUI day? Anything I should do to prepare for IUI to get the best specimen for IUI? Thanks I appreciate it.

What were your numbers? 

My husband and I have low morphology and when we started this journey our RE recommended IUI as well, it didn't work for us, but we also learned a lot by doing the IUIs.  I've seen couples get pregnant on the first try too.

There is nothing you can do to increase your numbers in the next two weeks.  The male body cycles sperm every 3 months.  I believe that there are vitamins that you can take. I have a list somewhere, PM me if you'd like that info.


* Me- 32 * DH- 32 * TTC for 4 Years
* *IUIs 1-6 BFN*
*IVF #1= BFP- M/C *FET- * *Beta#1: 69 *Beta#2:482 *Beta#3 1088
*Beta#4 28,318 * Ultrasound- 1 beautiful heartbeat

My doctor told me to get my husband to take some Robitussin 30 minutes before our appointment and should bring the boys up a little. Def try that. it worked. It brought his sperm count from 55 MIL to 88 MIL!

 

I did my first IUI 2 weeks ago and waiting. Good Luck to the both of you. Wink
