IUI Treatment & Success Rate
IUI, or Intra Uterine Insemination, is the simplest technique in the field of artificial insemination. In an IUI cycle, the sperm from the male is directly placed inside the uterus of the female to increase the chances of conception.
In a case where both the male and female are not diagnosed with infertility and yet are not able to conceive, chances are that there are other factors that need to be addressed, before going for IUI pregnancy. In order to provide a small push to healthy couples who are not able to conceive naturally, our fertility specialists often recommend the IUI treatment procedure. IUI test is a simple, affordable, and effective treatment for couples who are unable to conceive naturally.

How Does IUI Treatment Work?
IUI, or Intra Uterine Insemination, places concentrated sperm directly inside the uterus around the time of ovulation. Medication may be used to stimulate the ovaries. The procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and timed using ultrasound and sometimes hormone triggers.
IUI Treatment Procedure
The sperm sample is concentrated before use and placed in the uterus right before ovulation. Here is a short timeline for a successful IUI cycle:
Day 3 of Menstrual Cycle
Through an ultrasound assessment and blood test, the process will begin. The doctors may prescribe medication to stimulate the growth of extra follicles which will then develop into eggs.
Day 8, 9, or 10
Another ultrasound will be performed to judge the follicle size and endometrial lining, which helps in determining the date of the next visit.
Day 11, 12, or 13
The doctor may then give an hCG "trigger" shot, which matures the egg as per a decided timeframe, so the IUI cycle can be timed accordingly.
IUI
About 36 to 40 hours after the shot, IUI is scheduled. At this appointment, the semen is placed in the uterus with the help of a precise catheter.
