Can IUI sperm be inserted into the vagina, as ICI sperm?

Thanks!

    Yes, definitely. The amt in the vials is less and you do have to be more accurate with timing. The window narrows from 12 to 6 hrs.

    Thx old mama. What do you mean by the window narrows from 12 to 6 hrs?

    Thank you!

    I asked NW about the lifespan of frozen sperm and they were hesitant to give an answer because it is difficult to test, so no one really knows for sure. But the general consensus is that ICI prepared sperm live up to 24 hours and IUI prepared 6-12 hours. NW wasn't willing to give me a firm answer, but they seemed to think under the right circumstances it could be longer.....but I would work under the assumption that is is not, and get as accurate as possible.
