Q: for low sperm count and motility, does it make sense to ejaculate twice for the sample to be used in iui to increase sperm quantity?

: No, it is not true. First, it's not easy for a man to ejaculate twice in a short time. Second, a good semen sample is the sample collected after 2 days of abstinence at the least.
