INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION - (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility.

​

Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized.

The hoped-for outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in pregnancy. Depending on the reasons for infertility, IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with fertility medications.
