Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
IUI is a straightforward treatment where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation, helping it get closer to the egg. It’s quick, low-stress, and feels very natural.
A little helping hand, at just the right time.
What is IUI?
Artificial insemination or intrauterine insemination (IUI) involves inserting the male partner’s (or donor’s) prepared semen through the neck of the womb (cervix) and into the uterus, close to the time of ovulation. It is a simpler, less invasive form of fertility treatment.
Who is IUI suitable for?
If you or your partner has been diagnosed with unexplained infertility, hostile cervical mucus, minor sperm abnormalities or other male disorders, IUI is sometimes a successful option.
It can also be used when semen has been frozen due to a husband’s absence or before chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
It is more beneficial in women who are not of an advanced maternal age.
The IUI process
IUI treatment can be performed in a couple of different ways.
The semen sample is analysed and washed to concentrate the motile sperm. The final prepared sample is used for insemination where it is gently inserted into the uterine cavity using a speculum and a small catheter.
An IUI procedure is performed by a nurse and is usually not painful, although sometimes you might feel mild cramping and/or discomfort. You should be able to return to work straight away.
