Intrauterine Insemination

Treatment for Intrauterine Insemination

IUI is a relatively safe and non-invasive method of assisted fertility designed to increase the conception chances of patients with certain types of reproductive difficulties. It involves specially prepared sperm, which is introduced directly into the uterus during the window of ovulation, thus maximizing the chances of fertilization. IUI is an excellent first step when considering assisted reproductive technologies. It is less invasive and far less expensive than other fertility treatments; thus, it offers hope to many childless couples. At Conceive Now, our experienced team provides unmatched care with the most advanced medical techniques to make this process smooth and stress-free.

Who needs IUI Fertility Treatment?

IUI is a general type of fertility treatment that is indicated for a wide range of individuals/couples with various difficulties in conception. The main situations where IUI is indicated include:

  • Unexplained Infertility: IUI is an effective first step, which is minimally invasive for many couples when basic infertility tests have excluded factors like ovulation, sperm count, or patency of the fallopian tubes as apparent causes. Success with IUI depends partly on bypassing several natural barriers that the sperm might meet in its route through the female reproductive tract.
  • Mild Male Factor Infertility: IUI can help in cases of low sperm count or reduced motility, i.e. the movement of the sperm. The procedure ensures that only the healthiest and most active sperm are placed directly into the uterus, which increases the chances of fertilization.
  •  Cervical Factor Infertility: Sometimes it is the barrier itself, the cervix, that prevents sperm from reaching the uterine entrance, especially where the cervical mucus is too dense or hostile. IUI is performed by placing the sperm past the cervix so that it may have a straight clear route to the egg.
  •  Ovulation Disorders: Women who experience irregular or absent ovulation, such as those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can benefit from IUI in combination with medications that stimulate ovulation.

What is the IUI Process?

The IUI process is straightforward and usually involves minimal discomfort. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the procedure works:

  • Initial Consultation and Evaluation:Before starting IUI, a lot of patients are required to undergo various tests in order to pinpoint the exact cause of their infertility. These tests include blood work, ultrasounds, and semen analysis. With these test results, your fertility specialist will be able to develop a treatment plan tailored just for you.
  • Monitoring of Ovulation: Timing of ovulation is an important factor in IUI. Your doctor will monitor your menstrual cycle through blood tests and ultrasounds to determine the best time for insemination. Some women may receive medications to stimulate ovulation, such as Clomid or gonadotropins, in order to increase the chances of success.
  • Sperm Preparation: A semen sample is collected from either a partner or a donor on the day the procedure is performed. Washing and processing in the laboratory are done to concentrate the healthiest and most motile sperm. This ensures the best sperm are available for insemination.
  • The Insemination Procedure: In this direction, at the moment of insemination, the previously prepared sperm is carefully inserted into the uterus with the help of a thin flexible catheter. The procedure is quick, not usually longer than 5-10 minutes, and does not involve any pain.
  • Post-Procedural Care: Some patients are advised to rest for a short period after the procedure before they resume normal activity. It is recommended to conduct a pregnancy test in two weeks from the procedure in order to verify the outcome of the insemination. At Conceive Now, we value your comfort, and we explain every step of the process with you and carry it out with care.

What is the success rate of IUI Procedure?

The success of IUI varies from individual to individual, depending on various factors including age, health, and the underlying cause of infertility. Here's a closer look at what impacts IUI success rates:

  • Age of Patient:
    • Women under 35 can expect approximately 10-20% per cycle success rates.
    • For women aged between 35 and 40 years, this is approximately 10% per cycle.
    • Women over 40 years may have a low success rate, but the addition of other interventions, such as ovulation-inducing medications, may help.
  • Underlying Fertility Issues: Success rates are higher in conditions like mild male factor infertility, cervical factor infertility,or ovulation disorders. Severe male factor infertility or blocked fallopian tubes, on the other hand, may need alternative treatments such as IVF.
  • Fertility Drugs: IUI is associated with better pregnancy rates when used along with medications for ovulation induction. That way, it's a surety that a healthy egg would be available for fertilization.
  • Number of Cycles Attempted: Success is usually cumulative. Many couples achieve pregnancy within 3-6 cycles of IUI, and your doctor will recommend whether to continue or explore other options after this period.
  • Source and Quality of Sperm: Success rates for IUI with donor sperm are often higher due to the strict quality control measures in place when selecting donor samples.It’s important to note that IUI does not guarantee pregnancy. However, it generally works quite well for most individuals and couples in the best of conditions. At Conceive Now, we ensure personal attention while applying the most advanced techniques from reproductive medicine in every situation with highest rate of success.

No, IUI is a minimally invasive and generally painless procedure. Some patients can have mild cramping during or immediately after the insemination, but this discomfort is temporary.

It all depends on the individual case. Most patients try up to 3-6 IUI cycles before resorting to other fertility treatments such as IVF.

IUI is a low-risk procedure. The possible risks include mild side effects from fertility medications, such as ovarian hyperstimulation or multiple pregnancies. We closely monitor your progress to minimize these risks.

It depends on your case. Some patients benefit from natural cycles, while others may require medications to stimulate ovulation in order to enhance their chances of success.

It is generally recommended that at least two weeks following the IUI procedure, a pregnancy test may be taken. Testing too early may result in giving wrong results on account of residual hormones.
