Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
A gentle, low-intervention fertility treatment that helps sperm reach the egg at just the right time.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, cost-effective fertility treatment that increases the chances of pregnancy by placing prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This helps bypass common barriers to fertilization, such as low sperm count, poor motility, or cervical mucus issues.
IUI is often recommended for couples with mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or when using donor sperm. It is also a helpful option for same-sex couples and single individuals who want to grow their families with the help of a sperm donor.
Our experienced team in Queens monitors your cycle closely and performs IUI with care and precision. Whether you’re trying for your first pregnancy or seeking an alternative to IVF, we’re here to guide you with compassion and clarity.
How It Works: Step-by-Step
1. Initial Consultation. We start by reviewing your medical history, performing baseline fertility testing, and creating a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
2. Ovulation Monitoring or Stimulation. IUI can be done during a natural cycle or with ovulation-stimulating medications like Clomid or Letrozole. Our team will monitor your follicles and hormone levels through ultrasound and bloodwork.
3. Sperm Collection and Preparation. On the day of the procedure, a sperm sample is collected from a partner or donor. The sperm is washed and concentrated in the lab to isolate the healthiest, most active sperm.
4. Insemination Procedure. Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus. The procedure takes only a few minutes and feels similar to a Pap smear.
5. Follow-Up and Pregnancy Testing. About two weeks after the IUI, a blood test is done to check for pregnancy. If not successful, the cycle can be repeated or adjusted based on your results and preferences.
