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.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

An intrauterine insemination consists of collecting a sample of sperm (or using the sperm of a donor) in order to inject the sperm directly into the uterus of the patient at the moment of ovulation. The fertilisation takes place in vivo, that’s to say in the body of the woman and not in the laboratory. See similar questions...

You will need to firstly undergo a reanastomosis, a surgery which can be performed in some cases, depending on which method was used to tie your tubes. 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. See similar questions...

The procedure involves ovulation monitoring either by ultrasound examination or ovulation predictor kits, sperm washing and insemination. See similar questions...

Usually you can have intercourse anytime after an IUI . . . in fact, most doctors suggest having intercourse, when that is an option, soon after the last IUI to help make sure ovulation is covered. Your doctor may suggest waiting 48 hours to resume relations if you had any bleeding during the IUI or if a tenaculum is used. 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...

The frequency of intercourse generally should be that which the couple considers most enjoyable. However, during the time of the moth when ovulation takes place, the most advantageous frequency of intercourse is every other day (i.e., every 48 hours). The reason for this interval is that sperm should survive for 48 hours within the woman's reproductive tract and the egg should be subject to impregnate for 12 to 24 hours. 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...

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...
