IUI Treatments
What is IUI?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a non-invasive procedure that involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into a woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation. This technique helps the sperm get closer to the egg, thereby increasing the likelihood of fertilization. It is often recommended for couples with:

The IUI Process
Ovarian Stimulation: The process begins with ovarian stimulation, where fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This increases the chances of successful fertilization.
Monitoring: Throughout the stimulation phase, regular ultrasounds and blood tests are conducted to monitor the growth and development of follicles (egg-containing sacs).
Triggering Ovulation: Once the follicles have reached the desired size, an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is given to trigger ovulation.
Sperm Preparation: On the day of the IUI procedure, a semen sample is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor. The sample is then washed and concentrated to separate the healthiest and most motile sperm.
Insemination: Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm is carefully inserted into the woman’s uterus. This is a quick and painless procedure that takes only a few minutes.
Post-Procedure: After the insemination, the patient can resume normal activities. A pregnancy test is usually scheduled about two weeks after the procedure to determine if the treatment was successful.

Cost-Effective: It is more affordable than many other fertility treatments, making it accessible to a broader range of couples.
