What is IUI Treatment?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which a washed and concentrated sperm sample is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This increases the number of healthy sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, improving the chances of fertilisation. IUI can be done with your partner’s sperm or with donor sperm. While IUI gives sperm a head start, the sperm still needs to reach and fertilise the egg on its own, so at least one open fallopian tube is needed for IUI to work. As the HFEA guide to IUI explains, one IUI cycle usually costs about a quarter of the price of an IVF cycle, though it is also less successful per cycle.

How Does IUI Treatment Work?

Each IUI treatment is called a cycle and involves several steps designed to improve the chances of fertilisation. The process usually starts with a fertility assessment, followed by ovulation monitoring, sperm preparation and insemination. The exact steps may vary depending on your fertility needs and your doctor’s advice.

Egg production: The ovaries generate eggs for fertilisation through either natural or stimulated cycles. In a natural IUI cycle, no fertility drugs are used. Alternatively, a doctor may administer fertility medication at the start of your period to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, as women typically release only one egg per month.
Day 12 ultrasound: After confirming the lead follicle's size on day 12 ultrasound, the IUI Coordinator will advise you on when to administer the trigger shot for ovulation. The IUI procedure is typically scheduled about 36 hours after the trigger shot. Remember to abstain from ejaculation for at least 24 hours before sperm collection for the IUI.
Semen Preparation: Following ovulation, your partner will provide a sperm sample, which undergoes a process known as "washing." This procedure concentrates the most healthy sperms into a smaller volume of fluid.
Insemination: During insemination, a thin, long tube called a catheter is inserted through the cervix using a speculum to deliver the concentrated sperm directly into the uterus. While typically painless, some women may experience mild cramping.
Pregnancy test: After 14 days from insemination, you can take a home pregnancy test. It's crucial not to test too early, as the "trigger" shot may cause a false positive result.

Benefits of IUI treatment:

There are numerous benefits associated with IUI treatment which are mentioned below:

IUI treatment elevates the likelihood of conceiving compared to natural intercourse.
There are lesser chances of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
IUI treatment follows a natural cycle, which is less intrusive on the body and uterus compared to IVF.
It serves as a valuable precursor to gauge the body's response before opting for IVF, potentially avoiding wasted cycles.
IUI treatment is more economical than IVF and other fertility treatment alternatives.
IUI costs much less than IVF. According to the HFEA guide to IUI, one IUI cycle is typically about a quarter of the price of one IVF cycle, although it is also less successful per cycle.

When is IUI Recommended?

IUI treatment is recommended mostly in the following instances:

Mild male factor infertility: When there are minor issues with sperm count, motility, or morphology.
Unexplained infertility: When there's no identifiable cause for infertility after basic testing.
Cervical factor infertility: When there are problems with cervical mucus that hinder sperm motility.
Ovulation disorders: When a woman has irregular or absent ovulation.
Endometriosis-related infertility: When endometriosis affects fertility but doesn't necessitate more invasive treatments.
Unsuccessful natural conception: After a period of attempt to conceive naturally without success.

If IUI is not successful after 2 to 3 cycles, or if you have blocked tubes or more severe male factor infertility, your doctor may recommend IVF treatment in Bangalore or ICSI treatment instead.
