How long do you have to wait in between sperm analysis...My husband is getting another one this week and it will decide between IUI ands IVF!

lilpink003 · 04-06-2009, 06:45 PM

at least 3 days. (of no sex also) so the sperm can regenerate

tenseintexas · 04-06-2009, 06:47 PM

I read that you have to wait 3-6 weeks....not from having sex but from the time of your last sperm analysis

lilpink003 · 04-06-2009, 06:56 PM

time frame should be 7 days to 3 months. I just looked at my paperwork. Unless he had a procedure done then this should be the time frame.

We "submitted" our first Sperm analysis today. How many did you do before the docs told you to have 1 more to determine whether you need iui or ivf? TIA.

imama- the doctors are not telling us to do IVF or IUI....it is a decision that we are going to make.....on the day of my first IUI my husband had 1.7 ( post wash) and 0% morphology.....unless the count has gone up to over 5 million and the morphology has goneup , we decided to go on to IVF. The RE gave us a 5% chance of IUI success with those numbers...I just wanted to check one more time to make sure it was not a fluke

She actually suggested doing on more IUI...but this is why I am getting another analysis...if I went in for another IUI and the numbers were that bad again, I would be kicking myself for not moving on!

I'm curious...your RE gave you a 5% chance of IUI success with the 1.7 million numbers OR if the count goes up to 5 million?

tenseintexas · 04-07-2009, 01:14 PM

If the numbers stay the same....but I have rea don hear that some RE's won't even do it if it is less than 2 million and do not reccomend it if it is less than 5 million....os course, I have heard of people getting pregnant with just 250,000 sperm, so go figure!

The urologist we are seeing (but in the process of switching) says no less than 10 million

tenseintexas · 04-07-2009, 02:50 PM

What are your husband's numbers? Is there any hope of IVF for you?
