What is IUI?
Intrauterine insemination, also known as artificial insemination or donor insemination, is a simple procedure that can help couples or individuals achieve fertility after they are facing difficulty when trying hard to conceive naturally.
IUI is beneficial for people facing fertility problems because of ovulation disorders, cervical mucus problems, or females wishing to have a baby without a partner. In this procedure, the sperm is placed directly into the uterus. A natural pregnancy occurs when sperm travel from the vagina through the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes. However, less than 5% of sperm reaches the uterus, which lowers the chance of conception. Whereas, in intrauterine insemination, specially prepared sperm are directly placed into the uterus, which increases the chance of getting pregnant.
Who Can Consider IUI?
Intrauterine insemination is a minimally invasive approach when compared to other fertility treatments, as it does not include any surgery or sedation. It is an outpatient procedure that is done at a doctor’s clinic and usually completes under a few minutes to half an hour. IUI is also considered the first line of infertility treatment by fertility specialists.
Intrauterine insemination is considered for people who have:
- Unexplained infertility: When healthcare providers cannot find the reasons for infertility, IUI can help the couple achieve pregnancy.
- Mild male factor infertility: Couples who are facing male factor infertility can also consider intrauterine insemination that separates the high quality sperm from others and increases the chance of pregnancy.
- Donor sperm: If you want to be a single parent or your partner’s sperm quality is too low to conceive with, you can achieve pregnancy with the help of donor sperm. IUI is considered the first option for people who wish to have a baby through donor sperm.
- Semen allergy: It is a rare case in which the female partner has an allergy to the partner’s semen that can cause burning, swelling, and redness in the vagina. The IUI procedure includes sperm washing that removes the proteins in the sperm that cause discomfort and transfers them directly to the woman’s uterus.
- Cervical problems: Cervical mucus problems can make it difficult for sperm to travel it to the uterus; with the IUI treatment, sperm bypass the cervix and are directly injected into the uterus.

What To Expect Before The IUI Procedure?
Before the IUI treatment, there are several steps that have to be considered for a successful pregnancy, and that includes the following :
- Consultation and evaluation: If you are considering IUI treatment for your fertility problems , the very first step is to schedule a consultation with your fertility specialist. During consultation, both of the partners have to undergo certain medical examinations and tests to evaluate and assess your reproductive health.
- Medical history: During the consultation, your fertility specialist will review the medical history of both partners to check the presence of any conditions or factors that may affect the IUI procedure.
- Lifestyle adjustments: After reviewing the medical history, if your doctor finds you medically fit for the procedure, they will suggest certain modifications and changes in your diet and lifestyle to achieve a successful result. You will also be abstained from having sex for 2 to 3 days before the procedure.
- Medications: Medications are also advised by your healthcare provider to stimulate the ovaries or medications that can improve the quality of the sperm. All these preparations are done to prepare the body for the intrauterine insemination procedure and to achieve the positive outcomes.
What Happens During IUI Treatment?
Intrauterine insemination is an outpatient procedure that is usually done at a fertility clinic. This fertility treatment includes some steps, which includes the following:
- Ovulation Stimulation: Ovulation is the phase of the female menstrual cycle in which an egg is released from the ovary. During IUI treatment, medications are provided to the females to stimulate more than one egg. After the stimulation, ultrasound sessions are performed to monitor the development of eggs in the females so that a trigger injection can be given to the patient when the egg is ready.
- Sperm collection: In this process, the male partner is asked to give a sample of semen at the fertility clinic if you are using the partner’s sperm. After receiving the sample, a process called sperm washing is done in which sperm is washed in the laboratory as the seminal fluid contains substances that may irritate the uterus.
In the case of using donor sperm, the sample is already thawed and prepared to use for the insemination. - Insemination: This is the last step of the procedure of IUI treatment, which takes only a few minutes. In this step, a thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through the cervix into the uterus to inject the sperm sample. After the insemination, you have to do the pregnancy test to see if it worked or not.
