Achieving Pregnancy with Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Services: How It Works?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) It's one of the least invasive fertility procedures and may be offered as an alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Insemination is accomplished by injecting a large quantity of concentrated sperm closer to the Fallopian tubes to facilitate conception is the most common type of artificial insemination.

  • low sperm count
  • decrease sperm motility
  • unexplained infertility mild
  • endometriosis
  • hostile cervical mucus

Female couples can also benefit from IUI

The treatment however is not advisable woman with blocked, fallopian tubes, infection or moderate to severe endometriosis.

 Fertility testing before IUI

 Before starting treatment, you should consult with a gynecologist, an infertility specialist, to do a basic infertility test during the infertility evaluation phase, to determine the causes of infertility and to influence an individualized treatment plan.

  •  Fertility test for women

 Do female patients, the fertility investigation should include the assessment of ovarian reserve through anti-mullerian hormone test? full hormone profile like follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone estradiol and frolicking ovulation test, like ludell progesterone and pelvic ultrasound.

The doctor should also check the fallopian tubes for blockages. If the patient has a history of pelvic infection and endometriosis pelvic surgery. The recommended method of evaluation is laparoscopy and similar tests.

  •  Fertility test for men

Male patient should undergo Semen analysis, and hormone profile test should  the Semen analysis come back abnormal

  • Fertility test for couples

 In order to ensure the safety of IUI treatment, both patients require biology screening  for HIV as well as Hepatitis B and C routine Pre cycle testing also includes blood test for rubella and chickenpox.

 Follow-up consultation

Once fertility tests are completed for both partners, they should visit their fertility specialist to discuss treatment details, prognosis for success, and possible risks. At most clinics, the staff is extremely attentive and talks about the entire process of the procedure: how to stimulate, block medications, and what happens during the IUI, the whole process day by day. The hospital should also provide contact information for all possible questions.

 How does IUI work?

A typical IUI cycle begins on the first day of your cycle, which is the first day of your menstrual bleeding and ends two weeks after fertilization, when a pregnancy test is performed.

The IUI cycle involves several steps, including medication testing before the fertilization cycle and a two-week wait after the procedure. The process is relatively short and takes about 90 minutes.

Sperm collection

Sperm is obtained either from a male partner or from a donor.  If you use your partner's sperm, a sperm sample will be provided to the clinic on the day of fertilization. If frozen donor sperm is used, it is ruminated in the clinic's laboratory by slowly warming it up.

The sperm preparation process is done using density gradient centrifugation or the swim-up method to separate multiple sperm from other sperm components, and all components should not be used as there is a risk of severe allergic reaction or infection.  Sperm preparation takes about 45 minutes.

Fertilization procedure

After sperm is prepared it will be injected into the patient's uterus using a thin flexible soft tube. At least two vials of pre-war, sperm will be used and the entire process takes about 5 minutes.

Types of IUI treatment

 Depending on your health status, age, and reasons for seeking fertility treatment, your doctor may or may not recommend the use of oocyte production stimulation medications.

  • Unstimulated (natural) cycle

 If you have no fertility problems, are a single mother, or are in a same-sex relationship, you may not need fertility treatments or ovarian stimulation.

 In natural IUI cycles, the ultrasound is done between the 11th and 14th days of the menstrual cycle to see if a mature follicle, which is a fluid-filled sac where the egg is growing, has developed.

 If your doctor finds a follicle that is larger than 20 millimeters, you will be prepared for fertilization, just as you would with scheduled intercourse. It is important to measure your luteinizing hormone levels to determine when ovulation will occur.

  • Simulated (medicated) cycle

Stimulated intrauterine insemination is often recommended a couples with ovulation issues mild male factor infertility, minimal mild endometriosis and unexplained infertility.

What does simulated IUI involve?

Treatment involves using fertility drugs then use simulation this may induce plummeting letrozole, human menopausal, gonadotropin recombinant follicle stimulating hormone.
