Description

IUI IUI stands for intrauterine insemination also known as donor insemination, alternative insemination, or artificial insemination. IUI works by placing sperm directly into your uterus during ovulation, which helps the sperm get closer to your egg. This reduces the time and distance of sperm travel, facilitating fertilization of the egg. This treatment aims to improve the chances of conception by increasing the number of healthy sperm entering the fallopian tubes when a woman is most fertile. The insemination procedure only takes about 5-10 minutes, and you don’t need anaesthesia. It’s quick and is usually not painful, but some people have mild cramping. FAQ Who should consider IUI? An IUI technique can help patients with low sperm counts, poor sperm mobility, unexplained fertility, unfriendly cervical conditions, or ejaculation dysfunction. When is the best time for an IUI? An IUI would be carried out for six hours on either side of ovulation. The IUIs are often carried out between 24 and 48 hours after the hCG injection. When two IUIs are planned, they are typically separated by at least 24 hours. What does an IUI feel like? Most women find that IUI is painless. You may experience mild cramping afterward, but often what you feel is related to ovulation, not IUI. When will I know the results from IUI? A home pregnancy test can determine pregnancy within 2 weeks, and a more accurate blood test within 7 to 12 days.
