Frequently Asked Questions

IUI stands for intrauterine insemination, a fertility treatment that involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into the uterus.

IUI increases the number of sperm that may reach the fallopian tubes (where fertilization occurs). Placing the sperm directly in the uterus helps it bypass cervical mucus or other obstructions that could prevent sperm from reaching the egg.

IUI is suggested for couples who have been trying to conceive for at least one year without success or for those with fertility issues like low sperm count or cervical mucus problems.

An IUI procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes and is performed in a doctor's office.

The cost of an IUI procedure can vary depending on the infertility factor involved.

The success rates of IUI can vary depending on individual circumstances.

It is generally recommended to try 3-6 cycles of IUI before considering other options, such as IVF (in vitro fertilization).
