What is IUI?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a minimally invasive fertility procedure that involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into the uterus during the time of ovulation.
This shortens the distance sperm must travel to reach the egg, increasing the likelihood of fertilization.
It’s often the first step in fertility treatment for couples trying to conceive before moving on to more advanced procedures like IVF.
Step-by-Step IUI Process
- Ovarian Stimulation: Fertility medications help stimulate egg production.
- Monitoring Ovulation: Ultrasound and hormone tracking determine the best timing for insemination.
- Sperm Preparation: Sperm is washed and concentrated in the lab to select the healthiest sperm.
- Insemination Procedure: Using a thin catheter, the sperm is gently placed into the uterus.
- Post-Procedure Rest: A short resting period follows before resuming normal activities.
- Pregnancy Test: After two weeks, a blood test confirms if conception occurred.
Once implantation occurs, pregnancy begins. Phular IVF provides constant guidance and emotional support throughout this journey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The IUI procedure is generally not painful. Some women may feel mild cramping during or after insemination, similar to menstrual discomfort, but it usually subsides quickly.
- 4. What is the success rate of IUI?
The success rate of IUI depends on several factors including age, egg quality, sperm health, and underlying fertility issues. On average, success rates range from 10% to 20% per cycle.
