IuI #4

[BellaHope]

Hi! I will give you all a quick history...I had a chemical pregnancy in April 07 and have been trying to conceive ever since. We have had all of the tests done and both my husband and I are fine! Unexplained infertility. We tried doing ovulation testing for about 4 months...nothing. Then we did our first round of iui w/ 50 mg of clomid and 2 others like this...nothing. Now I am seeing a fertility specialist and he had me do the clomid challenge test which is 100mg of clomid and iui.  I only had ever gotten 1 good egg on 50 mg but this time I had 2  possibly 3 eggs measuring at 26mm. My lining was a 10.4 which is awesome. Here is where the story gets funny...Day of iui arrives and dh misses cup a bit and a smidgen of sample ended up on the floor. My dh's numbers are usually phenomenal..instead of our usual 30-100million we had only 5 million with 75% motile. FRUSTRATING! It figures the only month I had 2 eggs. Anyway I am waiting util the 15th to test! Hoping for a miracle. Has anyone ever heard about a successful iui with low sperm numbers?

It only takes 1... so 5 million seems pretty good odds - lol... Sorry, I don't have any words of wisdom - just trying to lighten the mood :o)

Aw, poor DH!  That sounds like something that would happen to us!  Honestly, I've never had an IUI, but if you take 75% of 5 million, you're left with 3.75 million, so that still seems pretty good to me.  The IUI eliminates the 1st part of the journey for them, so that definitely increases their chances of getting there.  All you need is one of those little guys to make it, and they have 2 big targets now, so I think you'll be just fine.  I hope the 15th gets here quick and you end up with your BFP!  Good luck to you.
