Can IUI be used for ICI?

Hello -
My doctor told me I could get either IUI or ICI sperm - we are planning ICI and they are going to wash it regardless of what I get. Is there a better chance if I get ICI? I know IUI has already been washed once so I don't know if a lot more fall out after a second wash?

Also -
How do I find out if there have been any and how many pregnancies a donor has had? Trying to search by donor number is not seeming to be all that effective.

Thanks,
Aimee

    Hi Aimee-

    If your doctor is planning to wash the specimen himself, you should ONLY purchase ICI. Washing an IUI vial may significantly decrease your chances for a successful pregnancy.

    You can contact our Client Services Department at 866-927-9622 to find out if a donor has more or less than 5 pregnancies reported.


    Good luck!
