A simple and less invasive fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm is placed directly inside the uterus around the time of ovulation to improve the chance of pregnancy.
IUI is usually done in a normal clinic setting. These steps explain what happens from the first visit to insemination.
Basic fertility tests for both partners to understand hormones, semen quality, and uterine health.
The doctor decides if natural ovulation or mild stimulation medicines are better for your IUI cycle.
Ultrasound scans and sometimes blood tests help track the growth of the egg and identify the ovulation day.
A small injection may be given to control and time ovulation so that IUI can be performed at the right moment.
Semen sample is collected and processed in the lab to concentrate healthy and motile sperms.
The final washed sample is safe, concentrated, and ready to be gently placed inside the uterus.
A thin soft catheter passes through the cervix to deposit the prepared sperm in the uterus.
Short rest, simple medicines if required, and a pregnancy test about two weeks later complete the cycle.
IUI is often a first line treatment option for couples with mild problems or timing related issues with natural conception.
IUI can be a gentle and hopeful first step. Success depends on age, egg and sperm quality, and how many cycles are tried.
Many couples need more than one IUI cycle. Your doctor usually plans two to three cycles before changing the plan.
The insemination itself is quick, usually painless, and does not require anesthesia or hospital admission.
Monitoring, medicines, and timing are customized so that your IUI cycle is aligned with your natural biology.
If you have been trying for pregnancy for several months or years, IUI may offer a balanced option between natural planning and advanced treatments like IVF.
“Sometimes a well timed and well prepared IUI is exactly the push your journey needs.”
