What are steps for an intrauterine insemination?

Untitled Document
Generally, an intrauterine insemination cycle starts with taking a medication to stimulate the ovaries. There are also ultrasounds to follow the development of the treatment and plan the date of insemination. Ovulation is initiated by medication and the insemination takes place 36 hours later. The day of the insemination, we perform an injection of the sperm, which has been washed to obtain the best quality sperm, into the uterus of the patient.

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.

The Alta Bates IVF Program - Frequently Asked Questions
Intrauterine insemination, or IUI, is an infertility treatment which consists of placing prepared sperm within the uterus around the time of ovulation. IUI is used to treat infertility due to low sperm concentration or motility, poor cervical mucus, anti-sperm antibodies, and unexplained infertility. IUI can be done with partner's fresh or frozen sperm or with frozen donor sperm. The pregnancy rate per cycle is about 8-12%.

Can we have intrauterine insemination after a vasectomy?

Untitled Document
The first step would be to have a vasovasectomy to return fertility. If this intervention is successful, fertilisation can take place naturally or by insemination. If the reversal can not be performed, we can proceed with collecting sperm directly from the epidydimis or testicle with an aspiration technique. (PESA - TESA). However, the quantity recovered in this manner in not sufficient for intrauterine insemination, and only IVF is possible.

What is intrauterine insemination (IUI)?

Fertility C.A.R.E. - Your First Visit - Fertility Frequently...
IUI is the use of husband or donor sperm to inseminate the uterus. The semen sample is washed, prepared and then placed into the uterus by passing a small plastic catheter through the cervix. This is an office procedure and is usually associated with no discomfort. The procedure places a large concentration of sperm into the upper uterus so the sperm are closer to the fallopian tubes where they can travel to fertilize an egg.

Can I have intrauterine insemination after having had my tubes tied?

This procedure is carried out in the hospital setting and is performed in certain hospitals only. Once this step is completed, pregnancy may be possible with natural methods or by insemination, depending on the results obtained.

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.

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).

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 are Techniques for Alternative Insemination at Home?

FAQ
First, obtain a few 5cc syringes and specimen cups. Don't use a syringe larger than 5cc; it's not necessary. Sperm sample volumes range from .5cc to 4cc, with an average of about 1cc to 2cc. Also, in case you're wondering, don't use a needle with the syringe. It is dangerous and would likely damage the sperm, not to mention you! The syringe and specimen container should be clean and dry. If you wash and re-use them, be sure there are absolutely no water droplets left anywhere.
