ICI vs IUI sperm

Habs

Hello,

Is it possible to use ICI sperm for IUI procedure? Since ICI have a better sperm # as a rule I would like to increase my chances for success.

Hi Habs-

If you purchase ICI for an IUI, your physician will wash the sperm and probably charge you for the service. IUI vials are washed before freezing to eliminate all but the best quality swimmers. Yes, there are less sperm in an IUI, but they are the higher quality sperm that would have made it that far on there own.

Good luck,
