We're definitely not the norm. I have low count (from 500k to 9 million depending on the month) but great motility (85%). Me and my wife got pregnant on the third IUI cycle two different times and on the first cycle another time.

Edit: each time we got pregnant we were at one and a half million or under by the way

Thanks so much for the information. After 4 years of infertility we are finally going to try IUI and was wondering when my doctor suggested 6 tries of IUI.

[BellasUChannel]

Thanks Doc, done our 1st IUI with no success. We will try again soon hopefully 🙏

[jenniferjimoh]

Thank you sir for this useful information, I am preparing for my first iui and partner's has a low sperm count of 8 million but we have been trying to boost it now.

I can’t wait to start my iui journey. My husband has low sperm count of 2 million due to the cause of varicocele grade one. She’s on medication to improve it.

[ajentertainment]

Sir today we have done IUI doctor were telling my wife EGG quality is not good, and mine (seman) was good, in this case my wife will get positive result.

Hello
My husband has low counts of 2.8 million before wash and his numbers are fluctuating. Does it worth asking the Dr to freeze his sperm and add several frozen samples to the fresh one to increase the number of sperms? We don't care about the cost. We are looking for the highest chance.

[shwethaas]

My age is 40 can i go for iui pls suggest

[tiashiver]

I gave the lab 10 . Then they washed it and it went down to 3.4? How is this ok

[kays.]

Which is best recommended? A Mot 10 or Mot 20?

Unrelated to this video, but have you considered doing a video on your thoughts on fertility acupuncture? I'm two years into IVF and have spent a significant amount of money on acupuncture at my doctor's suggestion (to his preferred provider). Just curious if there is truly any evidence it helps. I do it out of fear not doing it could hurt my success rates, but the cost of acupuncture and fertility supplements has almost matched the cost of IVF itself! (Did see your video on supplements and have since stopped).

[Gynecology-channel]

Thanx doctor for the informative video
