What is IUI?
Intrauterine insemination also known as
artificial insemination is a non-invasive ART
procedure. The procedure is simple, easy to
perform, does not include extreme effort from the
couple and costs less than advanced procedures
such as IVF and ICSI. Generally, IUI is
recommended for couples with good ovarian reserve
and reasonable semen parameters, but with
associated problems such as PCOS, minimal
endometriosis, borderline sperm counts and
motility, and also for unexplained infertility.

There are two types of IUI

1. Natural IUI where insemination takes place
   after monitoring a natural cycle.
2. Stimulated IUI where the chances of success may
   be increased if the insemination is combined with
   small doses of fertility drugs to stimulate
   ovulation.

In both options the development of the ovarian
follicles is monitored using ultrasound and the
insemination is timed to take place around 40-48
hours of trigger injection or LH surg. Click

Who benefits from IUI?
Although IUI may improve your chances over
natural "timed intercourse", it is much less
successful than IVF.

1. It can be the treatment of choice for couples
   where the woman has normal fallopian tubes but
   couples are unable (or finding it very difficult)
   to have sexual intercourse. Success rate is very
   low, so not advised.
2. It may also be offered as first-line where donor
   sperm is required such as to single women,
   same-sex couples or couples with severe
   male-factor problems. Success rate is 15 per
   cycle (Donor IUI suggested).
3. Mild male factor, Mild Endometriosis, PCO.
