What about Artificial Insemination and "grading up"?

Randall Cattle Frequently Asked Questions Page
Artificial Insemination is allowed to be used as a breeding tool for animals that will be included in the Randall herdbook. The Registry encourages the use of live bulls to the extent possible as a means of increasing the number of sires used and thereby protecting the diversity of the gene pool. However AI can accomplish specific breeding objectives and may be the only option for breeders who are unable to keep a bull.

What is Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)?

Frequently Asked Questions with Dr. Charles MPL on IVF
Culture medium is layered on top. The specimen is left in the incubator at 37 degrees Celsius for one to two hours. The highly motile sperms will swim up into the culture medium. The enriched upper layer is then removed and sent to the clinic where it is flushed into the uterus using a flexible catheter. This procedure is performed during the time of ovulation in order to increase the chance of conception.

Artificial insemination is an insemination technique called by many names: artificial insemination by donor (AID) or therapeutic donor insemination (TDI). Both of these techniques utilize screened sperm samples from anonymous donors. The treatment is primarily used in cases of male infertility where the male partner of the couple has no sperm severely abnormal sperm. National statistics suggest that 1 out of every 8 infertile couples are treated in this way.

When the doctor has evidence or suspects of a defect in spermatozoons migration to the uterus, this method can be applied. A purified preparation of the husband's speramtozoons is introduced in the uterine cavity at a moment close to ovulation . This is made through a plastic canula and it is a simple , non- painful and economic procedure

What are the potential advantages of intrauterine insemination (IUI) over intercourse?

CTfertility.com | Frequestly Asked Questions
IUI helps deliver much more motile sperm to the fallopian tubes at the critical times around ovulation, and is recommended to improve pregnancy rates in many instances, including: unexplained infertility; sperm issues (such as count, motility or morphology); when fertility medications (including Clomid or injectable medications) are being used; or when a cervical mucous abnormality blocks the ability of the sperm to swim in to the uterus.

Is there any difference between a test tube baby and the artificial insemination?

Questions on Infertility
Yes. The artificial insemination consists of putting the husband’s semen, previously prepared in the lab, inside the female genital system, most commonly inside the uterus, during the ovulation period. In vitro fertilization (test tube baby), consists of collecting the patient’s eggs with the help of ultra-sound and then take them to the laboratory, where they are put in contact with the sperm.

Does one need to take guaifenesin when doing intrauterine insemination (IUI)?

General Welcome & TTC Tips and Helpful Hints
It would only make sense to take guaifenesin if one is planning to have intercourse in addition to doing IUI. Those doing donor insemination, for example, wouldn't benefit.

What is an IUI and how is it done?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is performed by inserting a very thin flexible catheter through the cervix (mouth of the uterus) and injecting washed sperm directly into the uterus. The whole process does not take very long — it usually only requires the insertion of a speculum and then the catheter, a process that maybe takes a couple of minutes. Sometimes when the cervix is hard to reach a tentaculum is used to hold the cervix, which makes the procedure easier.

How is the insemination made?

Favorites
The insemination method is up to the recipient. Artificial Insemination that can be done at home is the IVI (Intravaginal insemination) method which was used by my first recipient at her home and inducing an orgasm afterwards after each insemination with positive results and is the method I have used on all the others I have helped. Other methods MUST BE doctor assisted at a clinic such as ICI (Intracervical insemination), IUI (Intrauterine insemination) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

Basic Questions
It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.

Can IUI be done at home?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
An IUI shouldn't be done at home without medical supervision because the sperms needs to be washed to prevent infection -- i.e., separated from the semen. A vaginal insemination can be done at home, but is no more successful than intercourse. Getting semen or air into the uterus could be quite dangerous -- perhaps life-threatening.

How many straws should you use for one insemination?

Welcome to the Straws to Paws, LLC Website!
The number of straws required per insemination is determined by thawing a straw and rating its post thaw motility. For a frozen semen breeding you want to have a minimum of 100 million motile sperm per insemination. Each straw holds 50 million sperm but not all of them will survive the freezing process, hence the evaluation of "post thaw motility". The higher the percent post thaw motility the fewer straws are required.

What is intrauterine insemination?

HORUS IVF
The core of this method consists of facilitating the way of a sperm to the egg by injecting sperm, after special laboratory preparation, by means of a thin tube into the uterine cavity during the period of ovulation. The basic prerequisite for the application of this method is the preserved permeability of the Fallopian tubes. IUI can have a therapeutic effect in cases of disorders in male fertility, immunologically conditioned infertility and also in other indications.

When is the best timing for an IUI?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
Ideally, an IUI should be performed within 6 hours before or after ovulation. Timing is based on an hCG injection (given to release the egg) and the IUIs are usually done between 24 and 36 hours later. Typical timing would be to have a single IUI at about 36 hours post-hCG. If two IUIs are scheduled, they are usually spaced at least 12 hours apart between 24 and 48 hours after the hCG. Success rates are higher with two IUIs as compared to a single IUI.

What is the success rate for IUI?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
The results vary from centre to centre and may be as low as 6% to a maximum of about 20% per cycle. The low statistics are with one follicle, while multiple follicles resulted in as high 20 percent success. Another influencing factor is sperm count. Higher sperm counts increase the odds of success; however, there was little difference between success with good-average counts and those with high counts. The overall success rate seems to be between 15-20 percent per cycle.

Usually you can have intercourse anytime after an IUI. We suggest waiting 48 hours to resume relations if you had any bleeding during the IUI or if a tentaculum is used.
