DH has ok amount of sperm, but low motility. We had sex Saturday night, I had dr appt yesterday (Sunday) cd14, and confirmed all 3 follicles are ready for trigger last night, iui is tomorrow morning. Nurse said have sex last night, but I told her we did the night before, and reminded her of DH's SA results. She then said have sex tonight- is it ok to have sex night before iui? I always thought you shouldn't?!

My History:
Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!

    We are always told no sex the day before the IUI. We are then instructed to have sex the same night of the IUI and/or the next morning.

    Our nurse said we had no restriction on when or how often. DH's count is okay but motility is lowish.

    Huh. We have no sperm issues... I thought no sex the day before was standard? I'll have to ask why next time.

    We also were told no sex the day before IUI. They were happy when we had sex three days prior to IUI and said we could have sex the night of the IUI or the next day.

    I was just going to say that why not do it after the IUI if you're nervous about it....and also say the 3 day thing....I think for him, they don't want it to be longer than 3 days since the last.
