IUI Treatment For Pregnancy

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into a woman's uterus to facilitate fertilization. It's often used for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical mucus issues.

• Ovarian Stimulation : - Depending on the individual's or couple's circumstances, the woman may undergo ovarian stimulation using fertility medications to encourage the development of multiple eggs. Not all IUI cycles involve ovarian stimulation.
• Monitoring : - Throughout the menstrual cycle, the woman may undergo monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds to track the development of follicles in the ovaries and to determine the optimal time for insemination.
• Sperm Preparation : - On the day of insemination, the male partner or a sperm donor provides a semen sample. The sperm sample undergoes processing in the laboratory to separate the healthy, motile sperm from the seminal fluid and other debris.
• Insemination : - Once the sperm sample is prepared, it is inserted directly into the woman's uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive, similar to a pelvic exam.
• Post-Insemination Care : - After the insemination, the woman may be advised to rest for a short period before resuming normal activities. There are usually no restrictions on daily activities following IUI.
• Wait for Pregnancy : - Following the IUI procedure, the woman waits for about 10-14 days before taking a pregnancy test to determine if conception has occurred. If the pregnancy test is positive, further monitoring will be scheduled to confirm the viability of the pregnancy.
