Can We Have Sex?

Post by Kara29 »

:?: :?: When doing Follisitm injections for IUI(on day 8 no where near ready to be inseminated) my eggs are not ready..............are we allowed to have sex before artificial insemination. I am taking 75 IU's for the weekend, so today and tomorrow and then on Monday, I go in for ultrasound and bloodwork, just wondering if we could have intercourse tonight.

Ive been told that it really doesnt matter if u have sex or not, during iui but we have never had sex during the day before insemination of the the whole 2ww....Mainly as I am not in the mood and my head tells me what if it riuns it, but hey we have had 3 iui's and got 3 fails, so next time parhaps we will have sex.

Just do what feels best for u and dh xx

Just try to leave about 3 days so your DH's sperm can be at full count for your IUI.

NO SEX THE DAY BEFORE IUI

Post by iuiman »

Our doctor strictly forbade sex the day before IUI as it can cause infection or change the timing factors. I would heed his advice as my wife got pregnant from abstience the day before with IUI.
