IUI with frozen sperm???

Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone has had a successful IUI using their DH's frozen sperm. My husband will be oversees the entire month of October and we hate the idea of missing out on a month of ttc. We have unexplained infertility and have been TTC for 15 months. We have done 1 IUI with clomid and 1 IUI with letrozole. Only 1 follicle with each of those cycles. I'm hoping for b2b IUI's using his frozen sperm and injectable meds. His sperm counts for those IUIs have been about 40-50 mil with 55% motility. Do you think we should go for it? Thanks for your help.

I say definitely go for it! Those #s are more than enough for an IUI. For frozen sperm, anything over 10 million is good, according to our RE.

If you don't want to miss out this month's cycle then go for it! You will just have to pay for the freezing then the thawing/count at the IUI. Sounds like his counts have been really good. There are lots of girls on here who have gotten pg using frozen sperm, regardless of whether using DS or their dh's. Good luck!

Just wanted to say go for it! We used donor sperm, which, of course, was frozen, and we are now 16 weeks pregnant. The count was 11.8 million and 52% motility.
