Hi ladies, so IUI #2 went down this morning, but our post-wash numbers tanked from last time... 6 mil total v. 16 mil last time...post-wash motility was a little higher this time, 72%...which the nurse said was good, but is the decrease in the total post wash number going to be a problem? Ugh.   :-S

    That's usually what happens.  My husband has easily over 100 mil pre-wash.  Post-wash, we are lucky to get 10.  However, we have low motility, so that drastically cuts our post-wash counts.  They are just flushing out the bad, to get a high concentration of good ones. 

    My RE likes to get a post-wash count of at least 5 mil.

    My RE likes to see at least 5 million too, she says that is considered good.  You cannot let yourself stress out about SA numbers, its such a crapshoot.  For us, we've had 5 IUIs, we've always followed the same BD schedule, night of trigger and IUI 36 hours later.  We've had the following counts:  40 Mil, 19 Mil, 4 Mil, 39 Mil, 12 Mil.  It's all over the place and from my understanding once you get over 5 million your chances do not really get any better.  Good Luck!

    Our post wash counts varied a lot sometimes even with similar pre wash counts and motility. I think it's just because they are flushing out the bad ones and only leaving the best. Sometimes there are just more good ones than others even with seemingly the same numbers.
