Hello, everyone! We just got back from our 1st IUI in Indy. We had to leave at 5am, and its now after 1:30pm, but its all worth it. The tech was great, answering all of our questions as much as she could. And to me, it just felt like an uncomfortable pap smear, although I did bleed a little afterward.
Just wanted to post the numbers my DH's analysis. They were a little low, but he has MF because of a variocele. Add that to my PCOS, and its a doozy! I was surprised that they did the IUI before they had the report back from the lab, but here they are...

post wash:

Volume: 0.5 mL (Norm = >2.0mL)
Sperm Concentration: 10.0 x 10(6) (Norm =>20 x 10 (6) mL)
Total Sperm Count: 5.0 x 10(6) (Norm =>40 x 10 (6) per ejaculate)
Overall Motility 88% (Norm =>50%)
Forward Progression 86%
Total Motile Count 4.4 x 10 (6)

The (6) is to the 6th power, I believe. The tech said that everything looks okay, I guess I'm just obsessing. Any input on these numbers would be great. We go back for IUI tomorrow.
Thanks!!-------Linda

It only takes one. Just one. The numbers don't mean much in the big picture. Good luck, super baby-dust and all that!

Welcome to the 2ww.
