Implantation generally takes place 6-12 days after ovulation - so 6-12 days after a well-timed IUI. See abstract.

In natural conception, implantation happens around 5-12dpo so with assisted conception you need to take into account how old embies were when put back eg day 2 transfer, day 3 transfer etc. Only once embies have reached blastocyst stage at approx 5 days will they be ready to start implanting.

Around Day 6, the blastocyst will start to “hatch,” or break out of the walls of the egg (the zona pellucida), which can no longer contain the cell division occurring within them. The trophoblast (outer ring of cells) secretes an enzyme which prepares the uterine wall for implantation. Trophoblast cells invade and destroy cells of the uterine lining, creating blood pools to stimulate new capillary growth. See similar questions...

A: An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is when a very thin flexible catheter is threaded through the cervix and washed sperm is injected into the uterus. The whole process doesn't 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 tenaculum is also used and makes the process a bit more uncomfortable. See similar questions...

This is the process by which the hatched embryo attaches itself to the internal lining of your uterus and starts to take nutrition and oxygen from you. This takes place a few days after embryo transfer and you will not be able to feel it. See similar questions...

Although there are no data available on how quickly a rosacea trigger may lead to a flare-up, the time is likely to vary depending on the individual and the nature of the trigger. Try monitoring your individual case to see how quickly your rosacea has responded. And remember, while a wide range of factors has been identified as potential triggers, not every trigger affects every individual every time. See similar questions...

Thyroid problems may occur as soon as a few years (2-3 years for hypothyroidism) or as long as many years (8-12+ years for thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer) after the radiation exposure. See similar questions...

Usually the sample is collected through ejaculation into a sterile collection cup, but it is also possible to obtain collection condoms for this purpose (through the doctor's office -- Milex is one company that makes them). Most clinics want the semen to be delivered within a half hour of ejaculation, around the time of liquefaction, so if one lives close enough the sample can be collected at home. If not, one has to make do with a room at the clinic, a bathroom, or any private setting. See similar questions...

This depends on your individual situation, but it should be less than 72 hours since his last ejaculation in order to ensure the best motility and morphology. Where low sperm count is the reason for IUI, it is generally best to wait 48 hours between ejaculation and collecting sperm for the IUI. With no sperm count issues, it makes sense to wait about 24 hours. See similar questions...

Varicose veins are most commonly found on the legs of women and men who spend a lot of time on their feet. Birth control pills, hormone therapy, obesity, weight fluctuation, and constipation can also add to the development of varicose veins. See similar questions...

An IUI shouldn't be done at home because the sperm 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. Some doctors are willing to instruct on doing ICI (intracervical insemination) at home, but it should not be attempted without being taught proper technique. Getting semen or air into the uterus could be quite dangerous -- perhaps life-threatening. See similar questions...

The vast majority of Clomiphene pregnancies occur during the first 4-5 ovulatory cycles. If after the first 3 attempts at a reasonably high dosage, there is no response, you might consider moving on to Injectables earlier. The average number of cycles on Clomiphene before moving on is three to six. See similar questions...

The vast majority of Clomid pregnancies occur during the first 4-5 ovulatory cycles. Some physicians also indicate that of those pregnancies, the majority occur during the first 3 attempts. (Also, if you do not stimulate well on Clomid at a reasonably high dosage, you might consider moving on to Injectables earlier. The maximum dosage is 150 mg., according to the manufacturer, and it may be wise to move on if unsuccessful after two cycles at that dosage). See similar questions...

Normal, healthy sperm live approximately 48-72 hours. (Abnormal sperm may have a shorter life, which may vary according to sperm health.) We do know that washed sperm can survive in the IVF incubator for up to 72 hours. That would be considered the upper practical limit. See similar questions...

Approx. 6 weeks. However, you are required to be in Mumbai only for 15 days. The down regulation requires the donor to be on tablets only and does not require any monitoring. No. You both will be required to stay for a maximum of three weeks. You will need to be in the clinic a few days prior to the menses so that we can finish a few tests along with a physical examination. See similar questions...

Silicone rubber has been used for long-term medical implantation. An example is finger joints. The recent bad publicity about breast implants has meant that the major silicone manufacturers do not recommend their products be used for more than 28 days. See similar questions...
