Our patient info about intrauterine insemination doesn't have anything about this, but it probably should. If you are scheduled for an intrauterine insemination using your husband's sperm (IUI-H), there is no reason to abstain from having sex during that cycle except for the night before the insemination. In fact, it might be bad to abstain. I saw a recent presentation claiming that IUI pregnancy rates are lower in couples who abstain for many days before the insemination.
