Hiya,

I think you have to clarify the underlying cause of your infertility to gauge whether or not IUI will work for you - is it male factor, or female factor? Blocked tubes? Low sperm count? If you have either of these, IUI will not work. It's usually used in cases of unexplained unfertility, and with low sperm count, they usually require a minimum of 10million sperm/ml post washing before IUI will be considered.

I've just undergone my first IVF cycle because of my husband's low sperm count. Clearly, IUI would not have worked for me. Conventional IVF wouldn't have worked either with his numbers, so we had to do ICSI.

Best of luck in your TTC journey!

hi,
ICSI stands for?

Hiya, it stands for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Conventional IVF is where they put the sperm in a dish together with the egg and let them do their thing. Where the sperm count is so low or if the motility or morphology of the sperm isn't that great, the chances of fertilisation using conventional IVF methods is low, so ICSI will be used, whereby the sperm is injected into the egg.
