6 ampoules of sperm frozen...any good?

We’re due for our first cycle of ICSI soon and my husband has had some sperm frozen as a safety batch.

Got a letter that said they’ve frozen 6 ampoules...no other info!

Has anyone got any idea if this is good?

Not sure why EVERYTHING has to be a riddle.

That’s exactly what my son in law had. As far as we were told it means they have enough for 6 rounds of icsi xx

Good luck!! X

My partner got what they called were "strands". They obtained 5 strands for ICSI. One was taken out to check for sperm which was found leaving us with 4 strands left. Weve so far used 2 strands for 2 rounds of ICSI and have 2 left in the freezer. X
