IVF with IUI Vials?

My preferred donor only has IUI vials available but I want to do IVF. My doctor said they use the ICI vials for IVF.

Has anyone done IVF using the washed IUI vials instead of the ICI vials?

    I did, although I also did ICSI, but I was under the impression they used washed sperm either way, which means they'd wash the ici vial first.

    Thanks for the response tffo! My clinic said they always wash themselves so if they got IUI vials they would rewash it which may leave them with too few sperm. ICSI would certainly solve that problem though.

    I am doing IVF with ICSI and my doctor had me order IUI and said that they will wash them again.

    It really depends on whether your clinic will wash the sperm. So check that first. My clinic told me that it depended on what donor I wanted. If the vials were IUI (washed) then they would not wash them again. But if I chose ICI vial they would be required to be washed (by my clinic).

    I bought IUI vials for my upcoming IVF.
