Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into the female partner’s  uterus by a special catheter to increase the chances of fertilization around the time of ovulation

Who are the candidate couples?

IUI is indicated for couples with:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Mild male fertility problems
  • Female Cervical factor problems
  • Female Ovulatory Disorders following ovulation induction

What to expect?

IUI involves basically 3 steps

  • Ovulation Induction
  • Sperm preparation
  • Procedure of insemination

Ovulation Induction

The female partner might be given medications (oral or injections) for an average period of 8-12 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs. She will be followed up with serial ultrasounds to track the growth of the follicles. When follicles are mature she will be given a trigger injection to induce ovulation. Finally, she will be scheduled for the procedure on the day of the ovulation. This process helps ensure that there are mature eggs available for fertilization during the IUI procedure, thus increasing the chances of conception.

Sperm Preparation/ Sperm Washing

On the day of the procedure, a semen sample is collected from the male partner and processed in the laboratory. Through a specialized technique, the sperm is separated from the seminal fluid and concentrated to select the healthiest and most active sperm cells.

Procedure of Insemination

The prepared sperm sample is inserted directly into the female partner’s uterus using a fine catheter.

No need for anesthesia.

Following the insemination, the woman may rest for a few minutes before leaving the clinic.

Advices Post insemination

  • Most women can resume their daily activities.
  • Sometimes, supplemental hormones like progesterone may be provided to support the uterine lining.
  • A pregnancy test is typically scheduled around two weeks after the procedure to determine if conception occurred.
  • IUI success rates are generally lower than more advanced assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization
