Hi ladies I just came back from my ER office doing IUI. I had 6 follicles this time and my husband's sperm was 61 million before wash and 8 million after wash. Dr said any thing above 5 miilion is good Does this sound good to you guys?
As some of you already know I was about to do an IVF and it was cancealed and converted to an IUI. If this IUI doesn't work I have to wait till Jan to start my IVF again. My clinic is closed during the holidays for 2 weeks . This will be so long guys please pray for me.
Thanks for your support.

Hi Eva, glad things went well! My RE said they will only do an IUI if there is more that 1 mil washed. Over 5 million is what they like to see and over 10 million is great. My first IUI we had 9 mil washed and RE was really happy. My DH has high abnormal counts too so it did not work for us, but I think if the motility and morphology were good, this is an excellent number! Apparently with fertile couples only 5 mil spermies make it to where they deposit the IUI, so you are 3 million better than most! Hey, if my IVF gets cancelled on Wednesday, I too will have to wait until Jan and we will be cycle buddies again! Of course, that will not happen as you will get your BFP and my cycle will go well and I will get mine! Good luck sweetie!

Yeh Minik tell me about it. I found out yesterday I was so mad. What the hell do they want to do for 2 weeks ? My clinc has 5 different branches in the area so why can't some be open so they won't destroy peoples cycle??

My clinic is closed a lot during the holidays too, so if this cycle fails I'll have to wait until January also. Bummer.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
