Intercourse then trigger?

Question

So my doctor just called and told me to trigger tonight at 9 but to have intercourse before I trigger. IUI is scheduled for Sunday morning (two days). Is this normal? Has anyone else been told to have intercourses two days before IUI? I thought it was recommended that the hubby refrain from evacuation 72 hours before. I am just a little confused. This will be our first IUI and I know success rates are low but I want to make sure I do everything possible to make it work.

Answer

yep normal! my Dr has us do the same and both of our iuis have had great sperm count. unfortunately both have failed too

Answer

Maybe bc if he doesn’t ejaculate within 5 days the quality goes down too? 
My dr never said to do it, but we go nervous bc we had sex Monday and Tuesday morning they said to trigger at night for a Wednesday iui (we did back to back) and his count was low, but all the other numbers were really high 🤞🏼

Answer

Sounds normal! Funny thing is my husband and I abstained three days before my recent IUI and his count wasn’t great at all. We were advised to do a back to back IUI the next day and his count was higher even though he released the day before. The doctors say that happens. So I think you will be fine. Good luck!

Answer

No my Dr said to wait 2 or 3 days, then after IUI continue relations as normal
