Vials per try

Jbuffett76

Hey everyone,
Just discovered this message board and super excited. My wife and I will have our first try in a few weeks. When we went for our consultation our doctor recommended 2 vials per insemination. I was wondering how many vials other people are using.

If you are doing back to back IUI's then yes 2 vials is good. I did back to back and my doc said 2 vials. Good luck.

Thanks so much- my understanding from the doctor is that he is recommending 2 vials for one IUI- the research I did doesn't have me convinced that it would increase our chances that much-

Our doctor didn't recommend the back to back IUI's but still recommended we get 2 vials just incase one vial's #'s weren't where they needed to be we'd have another to use verses missing out on that cycle.

Our doctor suggested getting 2 vials even though we are not doing back to back - in case of low motility or some issue with the sperm.

My RE only recommends using one vial.

My cousin, my friend, and me all had IUIs in the same area all different practices, all 2 vials back to back. We all got pregnant.

MY RE recommended 2 vials each IUI cycle in case when they thawed one vial, if the count was to low after thawing, we had a backup vial to combine and would have enough sperm to inject but my wife and I ended up just doing 1 vial each IUI cycle and we got pregnant with each cycle. I miscarried the first at 13 weeks and currently pregnant from our second cycle with a beautiful heartbeat! I understood what my RE was saying but in my opinion, it's not about the quantity of sperm as you only need 1 little lucky guy to make its way, its all about the timing of your surge and ovulation.

Thank you all for your input- this process is consuming me! I read about it all the time. My wife and I go for an appt the end of next week- I don't know how I will survive the 2WW :/
