Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), is a infertility treatment where the best sperm are placed directly into the uterus to fertilise the egg and hence increasing the chances of conception.
IUI treatment is often recommended for couples experiencing unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or issues related to cervical mucus.
At Gulmohar IVF & Fertility, we collect, wash, and concentrate sperm to enhance its quality, improving the chances of successful fertilisation. By carefully timing the insemination with ovulation, IUI treatment provides a less invasive, effective, and cost-effective option for many.
Timing of Ovulation: Accurate timing is crucial for IUI success. To determine the best time for insemination, ovulation is carefully tracked using various methods.
Urine Ovulation Predictor Kits:Ā These kits show when a hormone surge happens before ovulation, indicating the best time to try for pregnancy.
Transvaginal Ultrasounds:Ā A healthcare provider may perform these ultrasounds to monitor the development of ovarian follicles, providing a precise indication of ovulation.
hCG Injections:Ā In some cases, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is injected to trigger ovulation at a specific time, ensuring the eggās release coincides with the insemination procedure.
Sperm Sample Preparation: The sperm sample is collected on the day of the procedure or prepared in advance through a process called sperm washing. This procedure separates high-quality sperm from the rest of the sample, increasing the likelihood of successful fertilisation.
Insemination Procedure: During the insemination, the washed sperm is placed into a thin, flexible catheter, which is then inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The procedure is quick and generally painless, with most women experiencing minimal discomfort.
Choosing the right fertility clinic is crucial for starting your family. At Gulmohar IVF & Fertility, we offer personalised care with expert specialists guiding you every step of the way. Our advanced labs and outstanding success rates have helped over 11,000 patients achieve their dream of parenthood.
Semen Allergy: Some women experience allergic reactions to proteins in their partnerās semen, causing vaginal burning and discomfort. IUI helps by washing and removing these proteins.
Mild Male Factor Infertility: When a male partner has a slightly low sperm count or issues with sperm size and shape, IUI can be beneficial.
Infertility Due To Cervical Issues: Problems with cervical mucus can hinder sperm movement. IUI places sperm directly into the uterus to facilitate conception.
Donor Sperm: For couples where the male partner has poor-quality sperm or for single women and same-sex couples, IUI with donor sperm is a viable option.
Ovulation Problems: IUI can help women with ovulation issues, as it can be timed with ovulation induction treatments to boost the chances of conception.

IUI is recommended when couples experience unexplained infertility as well as cervical hostility in the female patient and male infertility. IUI is the preferred treatment option.
The use case for IUI and IVF are different and the success rate of either depends on the patientās case. IUI is a less invasive procedure that requires hormonal stimulation in the female and collected/donor sperms are placed inside the uterus; IVF in comparison requires more steps including ovum pickup, fertilization of egg and sperm in the laboratory, laser assisted hatching, andĀ embryo transfer.
In certain circumstances, IUI might not work out for a couple. If IUI is unsuccessful after 3-4 attempts,Ā IVFĀ may be recommended as the next step. This is in case infertility is attributed to severe male and/or female factor.
It is suggested that the male partner abstains from ejaculating for 2-3 days before the collection of a semen samples in order to collect the maximum number of sperms and ensure their quality. After the procedure is performed, it is safe to have sexual intercourse 3-4 days later.
