First IUI Complete With 13500

Had my first IUI with donor 13500 on Friday. I am in my early 30's and no found fertility problems so I am hoping beyond hope that this IUI will be successful, but I know the average range is 3-6 cycles.
The one thing that frustrated me a bit was that the office did not tell me the count or motility of the sample, which I would really like to know if I need to pursue more cycles as it could influence my donor choice.

    Good Luck! Did your doctors office have you sign something confirming the donor prior to your IUI? That's how I noticed the sperm count and motility. They had me sign it minutes before the procedure with the sample right there. I got my BFP on my second IUI! So far I'm about 4-5 weeks :) first ultrasound scheduled for next week :) sending baby dust your way!

    Thank you! Congrats on your BFP!! Wishing you all the best with your ultrasound!
    I didn't sign anything the day of the IUI. The Dr came in and showed me the sample to confirm but I didn't have to sign off. I signed my life away at previous visits though! :)

    I always ask at the time they bring in the vial. I like to know the count and motility. Anything less than ten million you get a refund.

    I asked but she said they didn't analyze the count, they just make sure it's a good sample, and that it looked "great". I was very surprised, but being my first time going through it thought maybe not all Drs double check that? I had so much going through my mind and thought pressing the issue wouldn't make a difference if they really don't check. I would like to know though because if I don't have success with this donor I would like to know if it is related to count so that I can switch.

    I also had to sign that it was the correct bail and they told me the count and I initialed next to it. I would ask next time!
    And ... Glad to hear someone had a positive on the second try. My second IUI was today!

    I meant vial not bail. (Autocorrect)
