Moving on to IUI

Well here I am trying to conceive my first child. after months of trying I just knew there had to be something wrong with me. Why wasn't I getting pregnant!! Surely at my age it should have happened by now!! (I'm 24) So I went to get checked out again and EVERYTHING WAS FINE. My cycles were a little wacky in that they vary between 35-40 days but my doctor said I was fine and I was able to confirm ovulation every month. So I sent hubby (32) off to get a Semen analysis. I lost sleep waiting for those damn results. Finally after what seemed like eternity I received the results and it confirmed my worst nightmare, I think it would have been easier if there was something wrong with me. My husbands sperm was low, 8 million, 20% motility everything else normal. I was heartbroken but being the person that I am I gave myself a good 5 minutes to adjust to the news and jumped right into action researching what I should do. I must have called every fertility clinic in the city researching the best and I finally go to my consultation tomorrow and I'm a nervous wreck. I'm wanting to know if there is anyone out there going through the same thing and if they have had any success with IUI and low sperm count/motility. I've been reading that its recommended to do IVF. I'm DEVESTATED but I'm trying to stay positive for my husband.
