A Gentle Guide to the IUI Process, Success Rates, and Cost

What is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, non-invasive fertility treatment where prepared and washed sperm is placed directly inside a woman's uterus during ovulation. This procedure shortens the journey for the sperm, placing them closer to the fallopian tubes where fertilization takes place naturally.

The IUI Process Step-by-Step

The IUI process is straightforward and performed in our outpatient facility:

• Ovarian Monitoring: We monitor your egg growth using simple scans. Mild stimulation medicines may be prescribed to support development.
• The Trigger Shot: Once the follicle is mature, a trigger injection is given to schedule ovulation precisely.
• Sperm Preparation: On the day of IUI, the male partner provides a sample, which is washed to select the most active sperm.
• Insemination: A thin catheter is used to gently place the washed sperm inside the uterus. It takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.

Is IUI Right for You?

IUI is an excellent first-line treatment for couples with mild male infertility, ovulation concerns, cervical issues, or unexplained infertility. It is far more affordable than IVF, making it a comfortable starting point for many couples in South Delhi.
