Is It Possible To Have IUI With Low Sperm Count?
Question: I have low sperm count that varies between 2 to 15 million. the motility is improving, sometimes it reaches 30% of active / rapid after 3 hours. I want to ask if I have any hope with IUI.
Brief Answer:
Semen wash needes to check IUI feasibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your chances of success with IUI are less. Semen is washed during IUI process.
If semen is washed generally the best sperms remain and the count and motility is still reduced. You can get soerm wash done in any laboratory and see how many good sperms remain.
If sperms are less than 10 million per ml its not worth doing IUI.
Regards
