Fertility Care IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
A Gentle Step in Fertility Treatment
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a minimally invasive fertility treatment designed to improve the chances of conception, and is often one of the first treatment options explored. During IUI, prepared sperm are placed directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation, helping sperm reach the egg more efficiently. IUI may be considered for:
- Mild male factor infertility
- Ovulation disorders
- Unexplained infertility
- Donor sperm treatment
- LGBTQ+ family building
What to Expect
IUI cycles typically involve:
- Monitoring ovulation timing
- Preparing sperm in the laboratory
- Placing sperm into the uterus using a thin catheter
The procedure itself is brief and usually performed in the office without anesthesia.
