Does IUI go against Christian values?

Question

I just went to an RE today, to see how my levels are and figure out why it is taking long for BFP. Waiting on my results, but should it come that my only option is IUI, would that go against Christian values?

Answer

I stopped putting OUR big God in a box long ago. I had a late miscarriage at 19 weeks and 5 days in 2011. I was so upset with God until he revealed to me His reasoning. Fast forward now married to my wonderful husband who I’ve known since before we got married that his sperm count was low. You see my husband is 52 years old and as a young boy he fell out of a tree and damaged his testicles. So since he doesn’t have any children (he and I were both married before), I had him get a semen analysis done. When I seen it was low I was a little scared because I wanted biological children, but as soon as that thought entered my head God asked me whose report will I believe? So I started rejoicing not because it was low, but I praised God in advance for his miracles. 
Fast forward 3 years...today after 2 additional miscarriages I am pregnant from IVF with our miracle baby. I have consulted God every step of the way! He gave me my children’s names 2 years ago. When my husband gave a semen analysis I was present the first time. He I had music and I made a awkward scene romantic. He had to give additional samples but he didn’t watch porn he simply thought of his wife. The clinic we go to has NEVER offered us porn btw. I do not believe that because my husband fell out of a tree that he should be punished as an adult. That was not God’s doing. It was simply an accident. God is methodical, He’s bigger than you or I could ever fathom, and we have to listen to His voice. 
What’s the difference in someone seeking medical help for a condition like diabetes, heart disease, etc. We had a condition and we sought treatment for it with God leading us every step of the way. No babies were destroyed/aborted. God gave us exactly what He said years ago. 2 embryos. All praises to the Almighty and all knowing God. Thank you Jesus! I hope this helps....

Answer

I think it's a personal decision. Some may say yes, others no. Consider how you would feel if you became pregnant with a high # of multiples & the Dr suggests you terminate some. Or consider that your husband may have to masturbate several times (sperm analysis & then collection). And he may want/need porn to finish. Those are things we've talked about. There are other things and then these things may not bother some.
