What is IUI ?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a common fertility treatment that involves placing healthy sperm directly into a woman’s uterus to improve the chances of fertilization. It’s a simple, non-invasive procedure often used for couples experiencing difficulty conceiving.

Stages of IUI
  • Ovarian Stimulation : Fertility medication is administered to stimulate the ovaries and increase the number of eggs released.
  • Ovulation Monitoring : Ultrasound and blood tests are used to track ovulation and determine the optimal time for IUI.
  • Sperm Preparation (Sperm Wash) : The sperm sample undergoes a “sperm wash” process to remove less viable sperm and concentrate healthy, motile sperm.
  • Insemination : The prepared sperm sample is gently inserted into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions.

IUI is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, cervical hostility, or male factor infertility, particularly when these conditions hinder sperm from reaching the uterus and fertilizing the egg.

IUI is not typically recommended for women with low ovarian reserve, cervical infections creating a hostile environment for sperm, compromised fallopian tubes, or moderate to severe endometriosis. In these cases, IVF is often a more effective option.

IUI and IVF serve different purposes, and their success rates depend on the individual case. IUI is less invasive, involving hormonal stimulation and intrauterine placement of sperm. IVF is more complex, encompassing egg retrieval, fertilization in a lab, laser-assisted hatching, and embryo transfer.

To ensure the best chance of success with IUI, several pre-workup tests are essential. These tests assess various factors in both partners:

For the woman:

  • Overall Health: General health assessments are conducted to ensure she is healthy enough for pregnancy.
  • Hormone Levels: Optimal hormone levels are crucial for ovulation and a healthy pregnancy. These are checked through blood tests.
  • Fallopian Tube Function: At least one fallopian tube must be open and functioning correctly to allow the egg and sperm to meet. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is a common test to evaluate the fallopian tubes.
  • Uterine Health: The uterus must be healthy and capable of supporting a pregnancy. An ultrasound may be used to assess the uterus.
  • Ovulation Monitoring: Egg development is closely monitored through ultrasounds and sometimes blood tests to pinpoint the optimal time for sperm injection.


For the man:

  • Sperm Analysis: This evaluates sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). These factors are crucial for successful fertilization.
  • Semen Analysis: This assesses the overall quality of the semen, including volume and other factors.
  • Sperm Source: The results of the sperm analysis help determine whether the partner's sperm or donor sperm will be used.
