[Mindi_IUI]

Thank you Ona and your doggies

I just wanted to tell you that in regards to Teri, you must remember she is only 30 with no fertility issues at all. She's not a "freak" she just had a precisely planned iui's, which would happen to a fertile woman at 30 having natural intercourse would also get. This group is all in their late 30's to late 40's, so of course that is why it is more difficult for us to get pregnant so quickly. I know that your tag names may be done if fun on your end, but I know her and she is sensitve those little blurbs. Just maybe keep those names to yourself as some may take offensive to them. And as far as statistics goes, no need to keep reiderating them. We all have done the research and now what the statistics are so there isn't a reason to keep bringing it up. The bottom line is that using DS is a crap shoot. One vial may be 85% motility and once can be 35%. Your bank only guarantees 35%, but not all banks say that. So, please don't use the word ALL when talking about banks, just say your bank.

Also, my RE does IUI's before the surge so the sperm is up there wating for the egg rather then having the egg come down to meet the sperm. Bottom line is, that each RE has their own protocol. It's not a statistics thing, it's just doing what they know has worked for their patients after many years in practice. We don't want to get the newbies scared that thier RE's maybe doing something wrong with your stastics. It would be a good idea to let them tell us what their RE's protocol is first and then give your thoughts or advice.
