We had low motility before DH started testicular cooling, but the IUI was really because of my ovulation problems. We wanted to boost our chances of getting pregnant on the injectables with the IUI. I think it is often used for male factor because it gets more of the guys where they need to go faster. Good luck to you!

We are doing IUI's because of MF. My husband has a blockage on one side and as a result he has low volume even though his counts and everything else are in normal range (the low side of normal, but still normal). Our doc explained that the lower volume could prevent his guys from swimming to where they need to be because they didn't have enough fluid. So the IUI was suggested because it gets his guys where they need to be. We also wanted to do this because I have ovulation issues and we felt IUI would increase our chances.

We're also doing IUIs because of male factor infertility. We are currently waiting for AF, so we can start IUI round #3 with clomid, trigger shot, and progesterone supositories. My husband has slightly low strict morphology and slightly low volume.

We did two cycles (one back to back) for IUI because DH's swimmers problems: motility, morphology. Unfortunately, it didn't work and we are set to IVF/ICSI for June.
