    We abstained for about 3.5 to 4 days before our IUI this morning and the count was 41 million postwash.  I think our info they gave out for the SA was to abstain at least 2 but not more than 5 days.

    Good luck to you!

    There have been timed where we did it the night before and had ninety million the next day. last time we abstained for  five days and only had four million. They usually tell us three to five days.

    They didn't really stress abstaining (they did mention 1-3 days being ideal) since we don't have any MFI. My B2B IUI counts are in my siggy.

    ~ We BD'd on Saturday night.
    ~ We were (suprisingly) ready to trigger on Sunday. No BD.
    ~ DH gave his sample Monday morning (36 hrs abstaining) and it was 45 million post wash. IUI#1. We couldn't help ourselves and BD again that night.
    ~ DH gave his sample Tuesday morning (9 hrs of abstaining) and it was 25 million post wash. IUI#2. We also BD again that night.

    I may not be a good basis of comparison b/c sometimes that 1-3 days of abstainence really matters to the overall SA count. For us though, it didn't. So not only did I have 70 million swimmers shot up there in total... I was also able to squeeze 2 mind-blowing BD nights out of DH during O. On the down side, if this one doesn't work.... I'm gonna be super pissed. We did everything right. (i guess that's what everyone says, huh?)

    My RE said 4 days but we abstained about six days.
    TTC #1 w/ endo since Sept 2005. After many losses, a lap, tons of meds and tons of testing and, one failed IVF cycle, we were blown away with a surprise, sticky BFP...it's a girl!!! Lilypie Second Birthday tickers
