Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

What is IUI?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) – sometimes called artificial insemination – is a procedure that involves preparing and concentrating a specimen of sperm, which is then injected into the uterus using a catheter.

When is IUI recommended?

Intrauterine insemination is useful for fertility patients with minor male factor infertility (low sperm count or low motility) or cervical factor infertility (which is not common). It’s also a common choice for patients with unexplained fertility issues, or for patients who don’t have ready access to sperm, like same sex couples or single women. Patients who experience sexual dysfunction may also be good candidates for IUI as it takes away some of the stress related to intimacy.

Why Choose MCRM for IUI fertility treatments?

MCRM’s personal, caring approach can make your IUI experience more comfortable and positive for you in so many ways. Your fertility coach will be helping you plan and prepare for your IUI procedure, from logistics to emotional considerations.

Our fertility clinic leverages ultrasound cycle monitoring and the most comprehensive sperm evaluation technology available. These critical tests help get the best success rates for IUI procedures.

We use Ultrasound Monitoring at Key Cycle Points

When you choose MCRM for your IUI procedure, we monitor your cycle from the beginning with ultrasound, to confirm cycle timing is appropriate for the procedure.

At mid-cycle we use ultrasound again to assess whether you need any medication adjustments. This is crucial to detecting whether any changes are needed to keep the cycle on track.

By this time, we know you’ve already put a lot of effort into preparing your body. We also want to help you maximize the financial resources you’re dedicating to your fertility treatments. Our extra ultrasound monitoring helps you to get the most out of each cycle.
