We did our first IUI this morning. I was glad that it didn't hurt. I was told it wouldn't but HSGs are so painful that I thought they would feel the same.
Bad news - DH's prewash numbers were so much worse than last year's SA. He had 7.6 million pre-wash with 15% motility. Our post wash count was 760K. He was so upset. I thought he'd be better since he has been taking vitamins and really paying attention to his laptop placement. Ugh. It was such a production to get him to do his infectious disease blood test that I dread having to do a blood test for a urologist. We will see what happens with this IUI and maybe do another IUI cycle to see if his counts weren't just a fluke today.
I am still optimistic though. My numbers are really beautiful - CD3 tests all great and PCOS barely detectable. Fingers crossed

Re: IUI#1 done
Congrats! So exciting to have #1 finished! Sorry to hear about your husband's numbers, but (trite as it is) you only need one!
I can't seem to figure out how to send a PM, but I'd be interested in hearing your experience with your doctor/practice. We are currently doing IUIs with my ob/gyn, with my husband seeing a specialist for male infertility. But we are considering IVF and are researching options. Most people I know go to Texas Fertility, but I've heard mixed reviews. Anyway, I'd love to hear anything you feel comfortable sharing!

<br /> My Ovulation Chart</a>
My beta is March 9 and I am going through the same debate. I am usually a POAS addict. My brother was staying with me at Christmas and was looking for air freshener in my bathroom. He looked under my sink and is still tramatized that he found about 20 epts. For some reason I am really nervous about testing this cycle.
Good luck to you!
