I did IUI last month and yes it does lower sperm count. We bd the night before IUI and his sperm count after washing was 20million where as when they did the SA the month before being 3days before doing anything and it was 38million so it does make a big different. It takes a couple days to build sperm back up.
early ovulation & IUI
October 15, 2008
I use the OVACUE to predict my ovualtion. It measures saliva & vaginal secretions. It has a setting for clomid too....
It says my highest fertilty day is the 13th cd. My RE says I will not Ovulate until AFTER he sees me on the 14th. Then I will give myself the Ovidrel shot & perform the IUI in 36 hours. For the last 3 months, I have ovulated on the 12th CD. Re does not think it is possible for me to Ovulate on the 13th.
So...If I get there on CD14 & I have actaully ovulated on CD13, what will they do? Will I miss this cycle? CD14 is a sunday, & I do not think there will be anyone there to wash my husband's sperm. I dont want to be too pushy, but I am afraid I am going to miss this cycle & my goal is to be pregnnant before I am 40!

Hey Mrsjosl,
