Hellobee Boards

I'm excited for you! Of course take my advice with a grain of salt, since I didn't have success, but our RE said to have sex the night of the trigger and then not again until after the IUI so that you abstained for 36 hours (assuming no sperm issues). Other than that, I wouldn't worry too much about all the sexing... they're gonna put 10M+ motile sperm right into your uterus!

When we went in for the IUI, the sheet he had to fill in said the last time he had sex or masturbated should be 2-7 days. We BD'ed the morning, then I triggered at 11pm that night and went in for IUI 2 days later. Another week to find out if it worked.....We actually stopped worrying about DTD at all the entire month. Like shutterbug said, they're putting 10M+ (in my case 128M) swimmers right up there.

Oh, and I should add that the constant BD'ing was my husband's idea, I thought it would probably be fine to mostly just rely on the IUI, since frequency hadn't worked in the past. But he liked the idea that we wouldn't ever really know if it was the IUI or the BD'ing that did the trick. Mostly I know it was just the right dose of meds making my ovaries work for once, but whatever made him feel good about it!

our RE told us not to bd before the iui so we could get a good sample, but he had us bd the day after. I was also doing no alcohol or caffeine and acupuncture. oh and injectables plus trigger bc I wasn't ovulating. got our bfp with our second iui
