Hi all,
I’m on my 3rd IUI with a fertility doctor. Days 4-8 I took 2.5 of leterzole. My follicles on Saturday morning were:
Right side: 15.22 x 9.33, 13.05 x 9.66, 10.46 x 8.21
Left side: 21.80 x 20.02, 16.12 x 8.65
Uterus Lining: 9.38
Estrogen: 248
I triggered with HCG on Saturday night.
So looks like I only have that one mature follicle on the left. So I was disappointed this morning to find out that post wash the sperm count was 40 million with 20% motility (we are using frozen donor sperm). It’s usually been 40 million with 50% motility. So I’m pretty upset over this. Esp since I only have the one mature follicle this month. I asked the doctor what he thought of the sperm count and he said it was “just ok”. So I feel like this whole cycle is a wash now. Ahhhh is there a little hope at all here? I feel like I want to be more aggressive next cycle.
Re: IUI #3 this morning - sperm count low?
As far as the sperm count, 40 mil is nothing to scoff at! Motility is a little low, but with 40 million, I wouldn't be too worried. It only takes ONE
GL on your TWW, and BFP prayers for you!!

IUIs are a crapshoot. I've seen people get pregnant with crappy sperm, terrible timing, with sperm left on the counter for an hour, and just one follicle. And I've seen plenty of perfectly timed IUIs with excellent sperm fail. All you can do right now is wait.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
This is really encouraging as I'm doing my 3rd IUI w/ letrozole on Friday. Hoping I get the same results!! So incredibly happy for you!
