Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Take the first step toward pregnancy with a quick, in-office procedure that places carefully prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the perfect time to increase your chances of conception.
How IUI Can Help You
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that boosts the chances of fertilization by delivering processed, highly motile sperm directly into the uterus, precisely timed with ovulation. This method shortens the distance sperm must travel, improving the likelihood of reaching the egg at the optimal time.
IUI may be recommended for:
Unexplained infertility- Mild male-factor infertility
- Cervical factor (when sperm movement through the cervix is difficult)
- Ovulation issues (often combined with ovulation induction)
Begin Your Journey
A quick and simple outpatient procedure, performed in a single clinic visit, perfectly timed with ovulation.
Ovulation Monitoring
Ultrasounds and/or bloodwork are used to track ovulation. In some cycles, ovulation is triggered with medication to ensure the procedure is timed for maximum effectiveness.
Sperm Collection
On the day of IUI, a semen sample is collected (either from a partner or donor). The sample is then sent to the lab for processing.
Sperm Washing & Concentration
The sperm is “washed” and concentrated, selecting the healthiest, most motile sperm. This process removes fluids and debris that could cause cramping.
Insemination (IUI)
A soft, thin catheter is used to place the prepared sperm directly into the uterus. The process is quick, typically causing only mild discomfort, and you can go home shortly after.
Benefits Backed by Data
What Makes IUI a Smart First Step
- Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure with little to no downtime
- Puts sperm closer to the egg, shortening the journey
- Often paired with ovulation induction for better timing and higher chances
Average Success Rate
- Per cycle: 10–20% (varies with age and infertility cause)
- Cumulative after 3–4 cycles: 25–40% (based on WHO/ASRM data)
