creative retrieval before iui

is it ok to have intercouse to get my husnad to the point ejaculation then pull out and ejaculate into a colection cup in order to get the sperm for iui.

We never have tried that, however, I know a friend of mine did that while using a special condom that didn't have anything on it.

The doctor will tell you no you can't.  Your bodily fluids could mix in with the sperm in the cup and then the whole thing is a bust.  They tell you not to use any liquids when retrieving.  

good luck!
