What is IUI?

IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a fertility method that involves putting sperm straight into a woman's uterus when she is ovulating. This makes it more likely for the sperm to get to the egg and fertilize it, overcoming usual obstacles in spontaneous conception. This simple and less invasive method is often one of the first options suggested for couples facing problems. At Fertility Cure Centre, we provide IUI as an affordable and safe way for couples to start their journey to becoming parents.

When is IUI Suggested?

Usually, doctors recommend IUI for minor or unclear causes of infertility. It can help with these conditions:

• Mild Male Factor Infertility:

  • If a man's sperm count, movement, or quality is a bit low, IUI can help increase the chances of sperm hitting the egg by putting it closer to where it needs to go.

• Unexplained Infertility:

  • If testing does not reveal a specific cause for infertility, IUI is a simple and safe choice to consider.

• Cervical Mucus Problems:

  • Sometimes, cervical mucus can be too thick or unfriendly, making it difficult for sperm to get to the uterus. IUI gets around this problem by putting the sperm straight into the uterus.

• Irregular Ovulation:

  • When combined with fertility drugs, IUI can help women with unpredictable ovulation schedules do things correctly.

• Use of Donor Sperm:

  • IUI frequently uses donor sperm for single women or same-sex partners who wish to conceive.

How Does IUI Work?

The IUI process is easy, fast, and done in a medical office. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Ovulation Tracking:

   • The doctor watches the woman’s ovulation period using ultrasounds, blood tests, or ovulation predictor kits. Doctors may recommend fertility medications to help trigger ovulation and improve the chances of getting pregnant.

2. Sperm Collection and Preparation:

   • The male partner or a donor provides the sperm sample for collection and preparation. The lab then "washes" the sperm sample to remove impurities and choose the healthiest, most motile sperm. This guarantees the use of only the finest sperm for insemination.

3. Insemination Procedure:

   • The insemination procedure involves inserting the prepared sperm directly into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. This process doesn’t hurt and only takes a few minutes.

4. Waiting for Results:

   • After conception, the woman goes about her normal activities for two weeks while she waits. We perform a pregnancy test to determine if someone is pregnant.

Benefits of IUI

• Easy and Fast: IUI is a straightforward process that doesn't require surgery or drugs. The process is quick and usually takes about 10–15 minutes.

• Affordable: IUI is a less expensive option compared to other fertility treatments like IVF, making it a favorable first choice for couples looking into fertility treatments.

• Improves Timing and Precision: IUI places sperm directly in the uterus during ovulation, which greatly improves the chances of fertilization, especially for couples with small fertility issues.

• Less Invasive: IUI is often easier for couples, both physically and mentally, than more advanced methods, so it's a beneficial first option.

Success Rates of IUI

Age, the cause of infertility, and the use of fertility medications can all affect the outcome of IUI.

• For women under 35, the chances of success are about 10–20% each time.

• Using reproductive drugs with IUI can increase the chances of success.

At Fertility Cure Centre, we personalize IUI methods to maximize your chances of success.

People Also Ask:

1. Is IUI painful?

   • IUI is a process that is not painful for most women. The insertion of the catheter may cause some people a little pain, but it is brief and manageable.

2. How many IUI rounds are typically needed?

   • Most couples get pregnant within 3 to 6 attempts of IUI. If several rounds don’t work, the doctor might suggest trying other fertility procedures such as IVF.

3. When is the best time for IUI?

   • IUI is done when a woman is ovulating, usually 24 to 36 hours after there is a rise in luteinizing hormone (LH), which indicates that ovulation is happening.

4. Can IUI help with serious male infertility?

   • IUI works less well for serious male infertility. In these situations, methods like ICSI might be a better choice.
