    Apparently AI is when they time you O by blood tests and once determined Dh gives his little sample and they use a suringe and place it in the uterus to do its thing. This assists the sperm meaning that they dojnt have to travel.
    IUI is when they time o as well and DH gives a sample they wash the sperm and separate it from all the other stuff in the sample, mucous, poor quality sperm etc and place the washed sperm in you. Therefore to me if we are gunna go thru this we may as well have the washed good sperm rather than just waste our time.
    We have unexplained infert, both apparently healthy.
    So i was hoping someone has been thru this IUI and had success.

    Thanks
