IUI vs. ICI vials

Does anyone know if you get greater post thaw numbers by ordering the ICI vials instead of the IUI? Our IUI numbers have been 8, 14 and 12.4 all with motility in the 30's. I am just looking for anyway to increase our odds. We are doing natural cycles due to the cost. We done (3) cycles with donor #2976.

    I asked Fairfax...IUI has the highest numbers. If your going the IUI route you should purchase the IUI vials. They are more expensive but I guess you could use the phrase you get what you pay for? :D Higher number in the IUI vials.

    Thanks for the feedback! I was just wondering since I have read where other women have numbers of 20 -50 million. I didn't know how that was possible and thought they might have bought the ICI vials. I have done 3 IUI so far and have been unsuccessful. :roll:

    Girl my first IUI I had 3 million (fairfax refunded me)...second was 10 million...third was 15 million...and fourth was 54.5 million. The doctor was way impressed with that last one. But like all the others...none were successful. All were IUI vials. Good luck to you!
