What is IUI?

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility procedure where healthy processed sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This helps increase the chances of fertilization by bringing sperm closer to the egg.

Who Should Consider IUI Treatment?

IUI is recommended in selected fertility conditions such as:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Mild male factor infertility (low count/motility)
  • PCOD/PCOS-related ovulation problems
  • Cervical factor infertility
  • Couples trying for long duration with no success

Basic Tests Required Before IUI

Before starting IUI, evaluation of both partners is important. Tests may include:

  • Pelvic ultrasound (uterus and ovaries)
  • Ovulation and hormonal blood tests
  • Tubal patency test (to ensure tubes are open)
  • Semen analysis for male partner

Step-by-Step IUI Procedure

The IUI procedure is done in a planned manner with monitoring. A typical IUI cycle includes:

  • 1) Consultation and evaluation: Medical history and fertility assessment
  • 2) Ovulation induction (if required): Medicines to help egg growth
  • 3) Follicular monitoring: Ultrasound to track egg size
  • 4) Trigger injection: To release the egg at the right time
  • 5) Sperm preparation: Semen sample is washed and processed
  • 6) Insemination: Sperm is inserted inside uterus using a thin catheter
  • 7) Post IUI care: Medicines and instructions provided
  • 8) Pregnancy test: After 14 days

Is IUI Painful?

IUI is usually painless. The procedure takes only a few minutes. Some women may experience mild cramps similar to period pain, but it settles quickly.

What is the IUI Timeline?

  • Day 2/3 of period: Consultation + scan
  • Day 8 onwards: Monitoring scans
  • Ovulation (around Day 12–16): IUI procedure planned
  • After 14 days: Pregnancy test

IUI Success Rate – Factors that Matter

IUI success depends on multiple factors. The success rate is usually better when:

  • Woman’s age is below 35 years
  • Fallopian tubes are open
  • Good egg and sperm quality
  • Proper ovulation timing and monitoring
  • No major uterine abnormalities

Precautions After IUI

  • Normal activities can be continued
  • Avoid heavy workout for 2–3 days
  • Take medicines on time as prescribed
  • Avoid smoking/alcohol
  • Reduce stress and maintain healthy sleep

How Many IUI Cycles are Needed?

Most couples may try 3 IUI cycles depending on age and infertility condition. If IUI does not succeed after multiple attempts, the doctor may suggest further evaluation or advanced fertility options.
