What is IUI?
IUI involves a laboratory procedure to separate fast-moving sperm from more sluggish or non-moving sperm. It can be performed with your husband’s sperm or donor sperm (known as donor insemination).
How is IUI performed?
In this method, the sperms are removed from the seminal fluid by processing the semen in the laboratory and they are then injected directly into the uterine cavity during the “fertile period”
This procedure takes about 45mins- 1 hour. The actual insemination procedure is simple and takes only a few minutes to perform. Contrary to the common belief, it is not painful. Although it can be slight uncomfortable. The likelihood of achieving pregnancy increases by using a small, highly concentrated sample of healthy sperm.
