Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that entails preparing sperm sample using a sperm enhancement procedure and inserting the prepared sperm into the uterus close to the time of ovulation. This is usually used as a first line treatment before embarking on other more advanced assisted conception technologies.
This process is mainly painless, though it is not uncommon to experience mild cramping post-procedure. The entire process generally takes approximately 15 minutes.
The overall success rate has been reported to be between 10-20% per cycle. Couples may need to try a few cycles before a pregnancy is achieved. If one does not have success after three good ovulatory cycles with well-timed IUI, it may be time to consider In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).
