I want someone to look at my chart and tell me what you think! I haven't been temping..
I took Femara CD 3-7 and then I did the HCG shot on the Cd12 and IUI on cd13...

I am wondering what you all think my chances are who have experience with IUI.
Low sperm count.. but we tried to make up for it with the bd'ng after the IUI>


THanks girls.

Actually I think everything looks good. If he has a low sperm count did they not suggest you BD every other day? Generally if the count is below 10mil (not sure what his was) then the chances of success is less than 5%. You need to keep in mind though that it only takes ONE and God is the one in control! I will keep you in my T&P Kara during this 2WW. I'm 2DPO, so I'm right there with you. *HUGS*

It was lower than 10... and they said that they think it is because we have a new hot tub that we LOVE!
plus the day before IUI he had to work a fire and was in bunker gear from 1 am to 7am.
So the heat from that didnt help much!
We bd'd at 2am the following morning of IUI then at 9am.. and then that night again.
They just said to do it the next two nights after IUI>

I dont know.. I hope something took.
Even though it was low!

my RE told us to come home and BD as much as possible...that it wouldn't hurt and the more sperm in the area the better. my IUI was tuesday.

i don't know about the low count, though. you gotta look at it this way...even though the count was low, you bypassed all the work the sperm has to do. it's already right there, no trying to get thru CM and up thru the cervix.

hang in there...i know, this 2 ww is terrible.

I think you've got a really good chance! Like the PP said, the IUI cut out all the hard for for the sperm...all they have to do is make it up to the egg from the uterus.

Good luck to you! Please keep us posted!!!
