Hi Blayz, Sonya and all,
I wish you all success too with TTC. I still am pretty vague with it all, but I've just had my 1st IUI & was told there are successes and for others it doesn't work. A friend on my sister's became pg via IUI after the 2nd attempt.
Yes much of the good sperm is taken out and combined with another fluid to help them travel. I saw DH's 'boys' in this small test tube before they were injected. When inserted, they don't have as far to swim, so was told my dr that IUI can work for those who's DH's sperm count may be low, but motility is high....not as far to travel. Will see how we go, but staying optimistic. This is our year! Good luck everyone.
