question about IUI and low sperm count

I hope you all don't think I'm weird for wondering this (since dh didn't seem to have any SA issues) -- but if low sperm count / motility / morphology are an issue for a couple, do REs ever have the man provide multiple samples over a certain time period, then freeze those, and then thaw all of them at once for IUI?

I'm just curious if my idea makes any sense or has already been tried (i'm sure it has).

No, I've never heard of that, but it sounds like a good idea to me. I'm curious if anyone else has heard of that, as well.
