What Causes The Presence Of Bacteria In The Sperm?

hello there.

i was scheduled for an iui this morning.. did gonal f this cycle and had 3 mature follicles. took ovidrel yesterday morning .. the iui was cancelled because after the sperm wash there was bacteria found in my husband's sperm? i'm not really sure what that could be from? the dr asked if i wanted to go in tomorrow to try with another sample, but what is the point.. the ovidrel was taken yesterday morning and now its already over 24 hours.. the iui would be composed of 2 back to back, but if one is tomorrow, there is no point doing it the following day, am i correct? also. i'm 40 . i have a healthy 2 year old at home conceived NO problem at all, and have had 2 miscarriages since .. what should i do about the iui.. if we have sex tonight instead would the bacteria still be of danger.. and is it already too late to try to conceive without the iui if the trigger shot was already done yesterday? i'm at a loss and feeling very discouraged :(

Hi,

You can definitely try intercourse or an attempt of IUI tomorrow. Semen preparation will be done.
