Help Help HELP to much info I am overloaded

I am completely overloaded and can't narrow it all down. We have tried and failed with IVF and my spouses sperm. So now on to IUI with donor sperm....Just no clue how to choose.

    Honestly if it were me, I would still go with the donor you and your husband are comfortable with and tell your doctor that even thought they prefer ICI vials that you can only get IUI vials. I'm sure that if you insist that he/she will be fine with it. My doctor told me that he preferred IUI vials but that if ICI was all that I could get then that they could do the IUI with those vials. I think my clinic just liked the fact that they didn't have to wash the sperm before performing the IUI. However maybe your doctor just said that he/she likes the ICI vials because they can charge the fee to wash the sperm before your IUI. I'm just saying that they will probably be fine with you using IUI vials. I would just call and explain that your top donor choices only have IUI vials available right now and then maybe get on the wait list for the ICI vials in the mean time.

    Does anyone know the shipping cost?

    The shipping cost for me was $200. It felt overwhelming at first for me too but once I made a couple of decisions about what I really wanted, it became much more manageable. Good luck you!
