hello
thank you for writing in to HCM

As you are on medication and the sperm parameters have improved you should start treatment at the earliest, after your wife has been investigated and found to be normal.

long term us of any drug is not recommended.

please start you treatment at the earliest for better results as you are still young couple

wish you all the best

Hello again

The sample can reach the clinic within 30 mins at the latest

IUI - is injection of the sperm into the uterine cavity and its a motile cell
By resting in bed its not going to alter the outcome of the treatment.
Your wife can continue to do her routine work and travel

hope to have answered your query
