1st DIUI Complete
My 1st(and hopefully last) IUI was today with DS. I just wanted to share my experience and maybe get some of your experiences? My husband went with me, which I definately wanted bc I want him to be as much a part of the creation of our child as he can be. It was a little strange, I have to say. I kept thinking, what is he thinking? Is he feeling left out? He's kind of a quiet type so not much from him yet. We both went to work after, so I am going to talk more about it tonight. I read in "Helping the Stork" that some men who had MFI due to chemo were just grateful to have the chance to raise a baby and be healthy. He seems to be ok with it and I'm hoping he's not just holding back for my sake.
Anyway, just a litle bit about my experience. Now, the tww. 
Did you all really wait 2 weeks? If not, what is the soonest you tested? It seems sooo far away.
Thanks for listening and being supportive in this journey!
Married since June 2011, MFI due to chemo, Me:No issues detected
1st IUI February 19th 2013 using DS +Femara & Injectables= BFP!!!

Re: 1st DIUI Complete
We are in similar boats. I had my first DIUI yesterday. DH came with me also and I was worried about the same thing! He said he was ok, we are both in a hundred percent with what we are doing to have a family but I agree it did feel strange still. Especially since he carried the tank with the sperm!
I am with you hoping we are one and done. Looks like we can be cycle buddies! I am hoping to test around 10 dpiui hopefully the trigger will be out by then. With my IVF I waited for the phone call and it was brutal.
GL to you! FX for us both!!
DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
Me (32): all clear
Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.

****TICKER WARNING*****
I did my first DIUI on Feb. 4th, and triggered the same day. I ended up testing 8dpiui and it was negative, meaning the trigger was completely gone, then I waited and tested 11dpiui, 12dpiui and 14dpiui, all were positive.
Good luck to you!!
