IUI treatment can also be used in conjunction with other fertility treatments such as IVF or donor insemination. IUI treatment can be done at home using a special catheter or at a clinic using a doctor-administered procedure. The success rate of IUI varies depending on the couple’s age and underlying cause of infertility.

What is the difference between IVF and IUI (intrauterine insemination)?

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) are two different fertility treatments that can be used to help couples conceive. While both treatments involve the introduction of sperm into the uterus, they differ in terms of the process and the chances of success. IVF involves retrieving eggs from a woman’s body and fertilizing them with sperm outside of her body, while IUI involves directly introducing sperm into a woman’s uterus. IVF is more expensive and has higher success rates than IUI, but IUI is less invasive and may be an option for couples who are not able to undergo IVF or who want to avoid its associated costs

Ovulation: The procedure is usually done during a woman’s most fertile period, which is typically around mid-cycle when she is ovulating. It involves the insertion of sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix, to increase the chances of fertilization.

Semen sample preparation: To ensure successful IUI, it is important to prepare a high-quality semen sample. This process involves collecting and processing the semen sample in order to maximize its fertility potential. The process of preparing a semen sample for IUI includes washing, concentrating, and testing the sample for quality and motility before it can be used in the procedure.

Insemination: The process involves placing the prepared sperm into the uterus of the woman at the time of ovulation, thus increasing the chances of fertilization. This procedure can be done with either partner’s sperm or with donor sperm as well.

  • Doctor will insert a speculum into vagina similar like Pap Smear Test, A catheter is inserted through Cervix into Uterus.
  • Patient is advised to take rest for around 20 to 30 minutes after insemination for observation. If sperm fertilizes an egg and the fertilized egg implants in the lining of the uterus then pregnancy happens.
