What Is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment technique that involves the direct placement of washed and concentrated sperm into the uterus during the woman’s fertile window. This procedure is commonly recommended for individuals or couples facing challenges with fertility, such as unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or ovulation disorders. 

Bypassing some of the natural barriers to conception, IUI increases the likelihood of sperm reaching and fertilizing an egg, thus enhancing the chances of a successful pregnancy. Additionally, IUI can be a beneficial option for individuals with cervical issues that may impede the sperm’s ability to reach the egg naturally. We can help you learn more about IUI and other fertility treatments you may be exploring during a consultation with members of our educated team of fertility specialists in Miami.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) in Miami?

Ideal candidates for intrauterine insemination (IUI) typically include individuals or couples facing specific fertility challenges, such as unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, cervical complications, or ovulation irregularities. Additionally, those with conditions that may hinder natural conception, such as hostile cervical mucus or sexual dysfunction, can also benefit from IUI. 

Typically, individuals with healthy fallopian tubes and an adequate ovarian reserve are good candidates for this procedure. By offering a less invasive and more affordable alternative to more complex assisted reproduction techniques, IUI provides an accessible option for individuals and couples looking to achieve their dream of parenthood. If you are interested in whether or not you are an ideal candidate for IUI, set up a consultation with our team in Miami to learn more!

How Is the IUI Procedure Performed?

The IUI procedure is a simple, minimally invasive fertility treatment that can be performed in the office by one of our fertility specialists at our facility in Brazil. Before proceeding, we will hold a consultation with you and your partner, if applicable, in Miami to ensure you are a good candidate and that this treatment is the best option for your fertility goals. Then, the patient is typically put on a fertility regimen involving ovulation induction, which may involve hormone injections to induce the release of multiple eggs from the ovaries. Once ovulation is confirmed, a semen sample is collected and taken to the laboratory, where it is processed and prepared for the insemination procedure.

During the IUI procedure, a speculum is inserted into the vaginal canal to visualize the cervix. A thin, flexible catheter is then used to introduce the washed sperm directly into the uterus. The process is painless and takes only a few minutes to complete. To maximize the chances of conception, the IUI procedure can be performed one or more times during the patient’s ovulation cycle. After the process is completed, the patient will wait to see if the procedure was successful and whether or not a viable pregnancy has occurred.

What Are the Success Rates and Risks Associated With IUI?

The success rates of intrauterine insemination (IUI) can vary depending on several factors, such as the age of the woman, the underlying cause of infertility, the number of cycles attempted, and the use of fertility medications. Generally, the success rates for IUI range from 10% to 20% per cycle. It is important to note success rates may be higher for individuals with certain conditions, such as ovulation disorders, compared to those with more complex fertility issues.

As for the risks associated with IUI, the procedure itself is typically considered safe, with a low risk of serious health problems. However, there are some risks to be aware of. One of the potential risks is a slight chance of infection after the procedure. This risk is low but can be further minimized by using sterile instruments during the IUI process. Another risk is possible spotting or discomfort during or after the procedure due to the insertion of a catheter into the uterus. It’s important to discuss any concerns or potential risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing IUI. Our fertility specialists will also be able to discuss these concerns during your IUI consultation.
