IUI is a fertility treatment where sperm is directly placed into a woman’s uterus during her fertile window to increase the chances of fertilization. It is a less invasive and lower-cost alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is commonly used when the cause of infertility is male factor, cervical issues, or unexplained infertility. IUI can be used alone or in conjunction with fertility medications to enhance ovulation and increase the chances of pregnancy.
IUI involves processing sperm to concentrate and remove impurities, ensuring that only the healthiest sperm are used. The sperm is then placed directly into the uterus through a catheter during ovulation, bypassing the cervix. This ensures that the sperm is closer to the egg, improving the chances of fertilization. IUI can be combined with ovulation induction medications to increase the number of eggs released, further improving the chances of success.

The success rate for IUI depends on factors such as the cause of infertility, the woman’s age, and the use of fertility medications. Generally, the success rate ranges from 10% to 20% per cycle. Success rates tend to be higher when IUI is combined with ovulation induction or used in women with no significant reproductive issues.
