What is IUI?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment where processed, healthy sperm is directly placed into the uterus during ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization. IUI brings sperm closer to the egg, improves chances of fertilization, and supports the natural conception process. IUI is often the first line of treatment before moving to advanced procedures like IVF.

Frequently Asked Questions about IUI
IUI is beneficial for couples with mild male factor infertility, cervical mucous problems, unexplained infertility, mild endometriosis, ovulation issues (PCOS), and donor sperm users. It is typically recommended as the first line of fertility treatment before IVF.
IUI involves placing processed sperm directly into the uterus for natural fertilization, while IVF involves fertilization outside the body in a lab. IUI is simpler, less invasive, and more affordable than IVF, making it the preferred first step for couples with mild fertility challenges.
IUI is relatively painless and does not require anesthesia. You may feel mild cramping similar to a Pap smear. Some patients experience light spotting afterward, which resolves within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
IUI success rates range from 15-25% per cycle depending on age, fertility condition, and other factors. Maximum of 3-6 cycles can be tried depending on the female partner's ovarian reserve and male partner's semen analysis. With expert monitoring, cumulative success rates improve with each cycle.
The actual IUI procedure takes only 10-15 minutes. The total cycle duration from initial consultation to pregnancy test is about 2-3 weeks. No hospitalization is required – you can rest for 10 minutes post-procedure and then go home with luteal support medications.
Typically, doctors recommend 3-6 IUI cycles before considering IVF, depending on your age, ovarian reserve, and semen analysis results. If you have been trying to conceive for 6-12 months without success, IUI could be your first step towards pregnancy.
