I'm trying to understand the best sperm count and motility needed for a successful IUI. My husband's count is only 3 million and his motility is 20 before washing, but it goes up to 40 after. Is this considered good for IUI? We've already tried four times, so I'm wondering if there's still a chance for success on the fifth try.
For IUI success, optimal semen parameters are: count > 10 million, motility > 32%, and post-wash motility > 40%; your husband's count is low, but motility is adequate after washing, and while chances are lower, you may still consider a 5th IUI attempt.

I'm pregnant and just found out my TSH level is 3.59. My gynecologist recommended starting thyroid medication, and I'm not sure if that's normal for this TSH level. Should I be worried or is this standard practice?
In pregnancy, it is recommended to maintain TSH levels below 2.5 for the health of both the mother and the baby. Since your TSH level is slightly elevated at 3.59, your gynecologist's recommendation to start thyroid medication is appropriate. The medication commonly prescribed for hypothyroidism during pregnancy is Levothyroxine. The typical starting dose for hypothyroidism in pregnancy is around 50-100 mcg per day, but the exact dosage will depend on your individual health situation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your TSH levels throughout your pregnancy.
