    IUI with frozen sperm............

    Has anyone done IUI from frozen sperm?

    Any advice, thoughts, recommendations? Why did you do it?

    No other choice here. Obviously

    Unless you really need to freeze, it's apparently much more effective to use fresh sperm that has been washed as you lose less sperm. Freezing sperm is bound to lose some in the thawing process, plus storage and thawing fee's on top of the 'processing' and procedure charge. That said, I have heard of many woman at clinics using their partners frozen sperm if they are trying to conceive and their partner works away frequently.

    Thats what we've been offered, as Dh is deploying soon and we are in the middle of TTC and miscarriage investigation. We're still discussing the pro's and con's. Just wanted to have someone who's been there's point of view. Thanks!
