Iui

waiting4baby1 · 10-01-2006, 05:49 PM

I just had my first Donor Sperm IUI today. Our RE said that everything looks great. i am new to this, so could someone tell me if my donor had 95 Million count, 93% Morphology and 90% Motility post wash, is this a good sample?
Also, I have had a lot of cramping and pain in my lower abdomen today, is that a good sign, or am I just hoping to hard?

Good Luck!!!! All sounds good, sperm count, morphology and motility are really good!!!! The cramping will be from the IUI, think of it as your womb adjusting to having a foreign body introduced, which is what happens when they insert the catheter. It is far too early to be getting any signs of pregnancy. Embedding can happen any time from the seventh day following IUI, but fertilization has probably happened by now. The cramping will ease, and the go away completely before you have the pregnancy test. Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, I'll be around.

Just wanted to add it's totally normal to hope "too hard" and interpret all sorts of aches/pains/sensations to something happening. The two times I became pg were the cycles when I felt, truly, nothing at all. People had described sensations (not a lot of IF people though) when they "knew" they were pregnant. I was surprised to find I was pg.

Just wanted to say good luck to you! It sounds like the count, motility and morphology were very good!! The cramping should ease and you should feel better soon. We did IUI last December, our first try, and I also looked for every possible signs for pregnancy. That's normal

We did get pg. and I remember how awful that 2 ww was. I was driving myself crazy, wanting to know if we were pg or not.I really didnt have any signs...had some cramping here and there but other than I felt very normal... I finally tested with a hpt 10dpo and it was negative. That really got me down. Ugh. I waited until 16dpo to test again.(our dd is now 7 weeks) I'm hoping you'll get a bfp! Keep us posted!
