Our Treatments

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that helps people get pregnant by placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. Sperm should travel from the vagina to the fallopian tubes, to meet the egg for the fertilization. With IUI, the sperm is collected, cleaned, and concentrated so that only the best sperm are used. These are then inserted closer to the egg, making it easier for fertilization to happen. IUI can use sperm from a partner or a donor and is often done with fertility drugs to increase the chances of ovulation.

Our Procedure for IUI Will Include:

• First, the sperm is cleaned to remove fluids that could make the uterus cramp.
• A method called density gradient separation is used to find healthy sperm and remove dead sperm and other cells.
• The IUI procedure is done one or two days after ovulation is found.
• Ovulation can be checked with an at-home kit or a special ultrasound.
• A small tube called a catheter is used to place the sperm into the uterus through the cervix.
• This IUI procedure takes about five to ten minutes.
• After the procedure, patients might feel mild cramps, but these usually go away quickly.
