in Selecting a Sperm Donor
Hi all,
I had my first IUI this morning (natural cycle, using a donor). The post was count was 5 million. The doctor said it was "good but not great."

I was just wondering if anyone is willing to share their post wash counts.

Thanks so much!

    My post thaw count was 22 million and my post wash count was 4.8 million. My doctor said they usually get a post wash count of 1-5 million for donor sperm. My RE said that a count of close to 5 million was good. I know CCB has a count of 10 million on their IUI vials. They told me that a loss of that many sperm was a lot after a post wash. However my RE said that was normal. So honestly...who knows!!! I think I try to talk too many people and it makes me coo coo!!! You have to trust in someone in this process and I think I am going with my RE.

    If you are buying premium IUI vials, the lab should be thawing only, not washing. The sperm has already been washed.

    My post thaw counts were usually below 5 mil too. CCB has given me credit for vials under their guarentee.

    I have ICI vials so mine are thawed and washed. The credits are for the post thaw count not the post wash count.

    same here. my ici vials were also washed by my doc. which is what they always prefer. so my count was post thaw.
