IUI

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a method of fertility treatment where a concentrated, cleaned sample of sperm is directly placed into a woman's uterus during the time of ovulation. The idea is to enhance chances of conception by making the sperm reach closer to the egg. It helps to overcome certain fertility obstacles and is usually recommended by fertility experts.

• Preliminary Testing (2-4 Weeks)
  Blood tests, ultrasounds, and semen analysis determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
• Cycle Monitoring (2 Weeks)
  Ultrasound and hormone blood testing monitor the development of ovarian follicles and identify the peak time for ovulation.
• Ovulation Trigger
  If required medically, in some cases an injection is administered to stimulate ovulation when follicles have matured.
• Insemination Day
  A sperm sample is collected (either fresh or thawed if previously frozen), washed in the lab to concentrate healthy motile sperm, and inserted into the uterus using a soft catheter. The procedure takes about 5 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
• Pregnancy Test (2 Weeks Later)
  After 2 weeks your doctor performs a beta-hCG blood test to check for pregnancy.

IUI is typically recommended in the following scenarios:

• Unexplained infertility
• Decreased sperm count or impaired motility
• Erectile dysfunction or ejaculation issues
• Donor sperm use
• Mild endometriosis
  • PCOS
  • Low AMH

Here are some of the advantages of choosing an IUI treatment:

• Less invasive
  Unlike IVF, the IUI procedure is less invasive and gentle for the patient. This process does not require egg retrieval, which requires sedation or anesthesia, making it a less complicated process.
• Cost-effective
  Couples facing fertility concerns, usually choose IUI as the first option as this procedure is much more affordable and accessible to all.
• Faster treatment cycle
  The IUI process requires less time as compared to IVF, needs fewer doctor visits and is emotionally less stressful for the couple undergoing treatment.
• Compatible with donor sperm
  IUI allows donor sperm, broadening the possibilities for different types of families.

The success rate for IUI depends on numerous factors, including age, health of the sperm and eggs, and any underlying infertility concerns. On average, the success rate per cycle of IUI is around 20-25%, depending on your case. It is important to note that fertility treatments often require more than one cycle to achieve a successful pregnancy.

There are multiple factors that influence the cost of your IUI treatment.
