Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Fertility Testing
IUI is a fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm is directly placed into the woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.
IUI is commonly recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, cervical mucus problems, or when using donor sperm. Your doctor will assess if IUI is appropriate for your situation.
The success of IUI depends on factors like the woman’s age, the cause of infertility, and whether fertility medications are used. On average, success rates range from 10% to 20% per cycle.
IUI can be done during a natural cycle or with fertility medications (like clomiphene or gonadotropins) to stimulate egg development and improve timing. Your doctor will decide the best approach based on your needs.
IUI is usually a quick and relatively painless procedure, similar to a Pap smear. Some women may experience mild cramping or spotting afterward, but most can resume normal activities the same day.
