About Intrauterine Insemination

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a minimally invasive fertility treatment offered by IVF and Reproductive Medicine specialists. This procedure involves the direct placement of washed and concentrated sperm into the uterus around the time of ovulation, significantly increasing the number of healthy sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and improving the chances of fertilization. It is often the first-line assisted reproductive technology (ART) recommended for couples facing unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, cervical issues, or for those using donor sperm. The process is carefully timed with the woman's natural or medication-induced ovulation cycle and is performed in a clinical setting without the need for general anesthesia, making it a relatively simple and low-risk option on the fertility treatment spectrum.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

James Roy, a 38-year-old high school...

James Roy, a 38-year-old high school teacher, and his wife had been trying to conceive for three years. They were both healthy and active, but after initial testing, James was diagnosed with mild oligospermia (low sperm count). Their family doctor referred them to a fertility clinic. The reproductive endocrinologist recommended starting with Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) as a less invasive and more affordable first step before considering IVF. The treatment experience was straightforward but emotionally charged. James provided a sperm sample, which was washed and prepared in the lab. The actual insemination procedure for his wife was quick, with minimal discomfort. The two-week wait that followed was agonizing. James felt a heavy sense of responsibility and anxiety. Unfortunately, the first cycle was not successful. The outcome was a negative pregnancy test. Emotionally, James cycled through disappointment, frustration, and a renewed determination to try again, feeling the process brought him and his wife closer in their shared struggle.
