introduction

• UI, or intrauterine insemination, is a relatively
  simple fertility treatment. It may be done with
  or without fertility drugs. The procedure itself
  involves transferring semen that has been washed
  and concentrated directly into the uterus via a
  thin catheter. IUI is done around the time of
  ovulation or in conjunction with fertility drugs
  to maximize the likelihood of conception.

When It's Used

• Cycles of IUI may be recommended to treat any of
  the following infertility situations
• Hostile cervical mucus
• If a sperm donor is being used
• If sexual pain makes intercourse not possible
• If treatment with fertility drugs alone is not
  successful
• Male infertility
• Unexplained infertility

Procedure

• Ovarian Stimulation
• While IUI can be conducted in a natural cycle, it
  can also be done in conjunction with ovarian
  hyper-stimulation. Where medication is provided
  to increase the growth of follicles, so that they
  can grow into eggs.
• Follicular Growth Monitoring
• At regular intervals, follicular growth is
  monitored through ultrasound to check if the
  follicles have reached the required size.
• Semen Collection
• Sperm is collected from the male partner and
  washed in a laboratory to get rid of the
  seminal fluid, which can cause severe cramping in
  women.
• IUI
• Done around the time of ovulation for best
  results, the whole process takes about 90 minutes
  to complete, but the process of insemination
  itself is a few minutes long. Using a soft narrow
  silicone catheter, the washed semen is placed in
  the uterine cavity of the woman, improving the
  chances of fertilization.

6
Risks

• IUI is a relatively low-risk procedure. There is
  a very small risk of infection. Some of the
  biggest risks come from the fertility drugs used.
  If youre using gonadotropins, you may be at risk
  for having a multiple pregnancy or developing
  ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
