(IUI)
Intrauterine Insemination

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This procedure increases the chances of sperm reaching and fertilizing an egg, bypassing natural barriers and enhancing the likelihood of conception.

What is IUI?

While both IUI and in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments can assist with conception, they differ in approach and complexity. The choice between IUI and IVF depends on individual circumstances; if you’re deciding between the two treatments, our specialists will help you determine a path forward.

IUI vs IVF

For individuals or couples where male infertility is a concern, or for single women and same-sex female couples, IUI with donor sperm offers a viable path to parenthood. This process involves selecting a suitable donor. Our specialists can recommend various resources, including sperm banks.

IUI with Donor Sperm

IUI is ideal for couples who are experiencing unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or ovulation issues, as well as single individuals, or same-sex female couples who wish to use donor sperm. Determining candidacy for IUI involves a thorough evaluation by our experienced fertility specialists, who will consider your medical history and specific fertility challenges.

Am I a Candidate?

The IUI procedure is conducted with utmost care and precision to optimize your success. The process involves monitoring ovulation, preparing sperm, and placing it directly into the uterus during the most fertile window. The entire procedure is typically quick, with minimal discomfort.
