IUI#2 today :-/

in Trouble TTC
So we had our 2nd round of IUI this morning and DH was able to produce at the office this time so I figured it would make our chances even better...I guess we were wrong.

When we were called in a nurse who I never met before starts going over our numbers and she was really cold about it. She showed us the paper and pre wash he was at 40%motility and 6milion count After wash he was at 50% motility but only 25000count...wtf?

Last IUI we had the opposite issue low motility and high count before and after wash.

Do we want motility to be higher than the count? We had a different dr today so he contacted my dr and he gave the ok but even so I am concerned about it. my dr said he thought my cycle was good enough to go through with the IUI so we did but now I am home and in tears bc the nurse and doctor I had today acted so cold towards us about such a sensitive topic...I guess I just really missed our dr and nurse who are so sweet yet get the point across with out me leaving in tears!!

Sorry I am feeling really down right now needed to vent! Thank god for these boards. If any of you have any experience with this please share I am trying to relax and stop crying..hopefully we still have a chance..:-)

    Sorry that you are upset. I don't have any advice about the IUI part or numbers. But wanted to say I know how much not seeing your normal doctor affects you especially when they are colder and less optimistic than your own doctor. I know I just had the same issue. My RE and the other RE had completely different expectations and it resulted in a ton of tears and worry. I am requesting to only see my normal RE. Maybe you could as well? Sorry you are having a rough day. I'll keep my FX for you!

    I'm so sorry. :( That's sad news and the least they could do is share it with you gently and kindly. 

    It's hard to imagine why he would lose most of the count in the wash...I guess I would hold onto hope that there was some mistake with the count/measurement, it just doesn't make any sense, unless they screwed up the wash procedure? I'd call and ask for my own doctor to explain how that could have happened. You deserve to know if this is just a random thing or if something can be done about it to help next time.

    Thank you. That's what I was thinking too why would his count be so low after unless there was a mess up? I am going to call tomorrow...the worst part is that our insurance doesn't cover the IUI or ovidrel so on top of getting hit with the news we had to pay $$$out of pocket

    I'm so sorry you felt like they were being cold to you. Some doctors/nurses just don't have the greatest bedside manner, but when it comes to things like fertility, I really wish they'd realize that they need to be more sensitive.

    I am so sorry that this IUI didn't get off to a good start. I agree with @BunnyBerry, I don't understand how the counts could have dropped that much unless there was an error somewhere. I would check into it.

    Also, I absolutely hate it when doctors or nurses are cold and inconsiderate. I have had my fair share of interactions like this, and it is the worse. When you are already feeling unsure, worried and stressed the last thing you need is someone with bad bedside manner. I am sorry you had to deal with that.

    My fingers are crossed that despite all of this, things work out for you this time.
