    Yes, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor and find out what they perfer. I have heard mixed storys about whether to use ICI or IUI. Originally I was convinced IUI was better but after talking to my doctor I decided to give it a shot and well it worked. Sometimes there are no ICI available so most people go with IUI. When I asked my doctor why she rather have ICI she said she liked to wash them right before insemination to be able to get the most movement out of them. Something about after you thaw an IUI some of the sperm don't survive the freezing process so since you don't wash an IUI again you tend to inseminate those that survived and those that didn't where in an ICI when they are freshly washed before insemination your getting more movers inseminated while you lose the ones that didn't make it in the wash. But than again if your donor has a good count it shouldn't really matter I would guess. I'm no expert and maybe she just told me that to make me feel better about the process but thats what I was told. Hope that helps Butterfly. And also THANKS YOU babyfrom2887 for the congratulations. I am very excited. Tons of baby dust to both of you. :0)
