What is iUi?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a form of artificial insemination to help women who have problems with pregnancy. The difficulty that represents in this case can be defined as a partner with low semen motility, with an enemy cervical environment, or other conditions that can cause pregnancy in a “usual way” a little more difficult. Another reason people can choose IUI is if they use sperm donors to achieve pregnancy.

IUI is considered to be a minimally invasive and low risk, and many women can choose it as the first option of fertility treatment unless pregnancy does not occur after several months to years of attempting to achieve it. Unlike In Vitro fertilization, it is much cheaper and is about $ 300-1,000 (USD). Other costs may be involved because doctors see higher pregnancy success when women also take drugs for fertility that stimulate the release of more than one egg during ovulation.

Basic progressDure withIt does not differ from standard annual gynecological exams. In the doctor's office, the sperm is washed and prepared well into the uterus, instead of close to the cervix. The location of the sperm above allows a better chance that the sperm will reach the egg and increase the chance of pregnancy. If a woman has no other problems that could disrupt pregnancy, such as the scarring of the uterus from endometriosis, the success of the procedure is approximately 10-20%, but this statistics requires some explanation.

The age of a woman undergoing IUI affects how likely the procedure is successful. Generally, the success of the procedure tends to decline as women near their 40 years, and in most women 40 or older women are not considered a useful method. IUI may not work better than a natural concept if it is not possible to explain the reason for infertility. The above statistics also do not apply to Trying once, but to try IUI usually three to six times. The only attempt at a woman up to 40The flight, without significant problems with fertility and sperm, which has a very high number, has about 7% chance of conception when fertility drugs are not used.

This form of insemination seems to be the most effective when either injection or oral fertility are used. Injection drugs for fertility can increase the rate of treatment to 12%and oral fertility medicines such as a clomid, increases success to 9%, to one attempt. One of the considerations of taking drugs for fertility is the risk of having twins or higher. When intrauterine insemination is used in itself, this risk does not increase.

However, if ovaries are stimulated fertility drugs, more eggs, the chances of multiple birth increase and ranges from 5 to 20% depending on what types of fertility medicines you use. Drugs like Clomid tend to increase the chances of twins by 5-12%. Medicines such as FSH (Woman-Stimulating Hormone) Increase this chance to about 20%if the IUI procedure works.
