What is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely used fertility treatment that can help individuals and couples overcome infertility challenges. At Boston IVF, we specialize in personalized reproductive care, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible chance of conception.

IUI is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus. This process increases the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, boosting the chances of fertilization. It is typically recommended for those experiencing mild male factor infertility, ovulation disorders, unexplained infertility, or for those using donor sperm.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

IUI may be an ideal option for individuals or couples who:

• Have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
• Have ovulation issues, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• Are dealing with mild male factor infertility, including low sperm motility or count.
• Have mild endometriosis.
• Are in a same-sex female couple or a single parent by choice using donor sperm.
• Want to try a less invasive, lower-cost fertility treatment before considering IVF.

The IUI Process at Boston IVF

IUI is a simple and quick procedure performed at our state-of-the-art fertility clinics. Here’s what to expect:

• 1. Ovulation Monitoring & Fertility Medications
  • Your fertility specialist will monitor your ovulation cycle using ultrasound and hormone tests.
  • Some patients may be prescribed fertility medications to stimulate egg production and improve timing.
• 2. Sperm Preparation
  • On the day of the procedure, a sperm sample is collected from either a partner or a donor sperm bank.
  • The sperm is washed and prepared in the lab to concentrate the healthiest, most motile sperm.
• 3. The IUI Procedure
  • Using a small catheter, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus.
  • The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and takes just a few minutes.
• 4. Post-Procedure & Pregnancy Testing
  • Patients can resume normal activities immediately after the IUI.
  • A pregnancy test is performed about two weeks later to determine if the treatment was successful.
