Infertility treatment for women is a big topic to cover. I am going to break it down into some broad categories to make it easier to understand. In today’s episode, I am going to explain IUI.

IUI is also called intrauterine insemination or sometimes artificial insemination. It’s the process of putting sperm directly into the uterus.Why would this help you get pregnant?

When you have intercourse, sperm are deposited into the vagina. Most of them promptly die. Some leak out of the vagina. Most of the sperm that aren’t killed, get trapped in the sticky mucous of the cervical canal. The end results is that very few sperm make it into the fallopian tubes where fertilization happens.

With IUI, you put the sperm directly into the uterus. That way you get a lot more sperm into the tubes and the chance for pregnancy is higher. This is true even when a man has a normal amount of moving sperm on his semen analysis.

Of course, in order for IUI to work, a woman must ovulate and have at least one fallopian tube that is open.

Fertility medications are often used with IUI to further increase the chance for pregnancy.

Men who have really low sperm numbers, such as less than a million or two are not the best candidates for IUI and should instead consider IVF.

IUI does not increase the chance for a multiple pregnancy but the use of fertility medications will increase that risk.

Compared to other fertility treatments, IUI is pretty reasonable priced. Usually, it somewhere in the few hundred dollar range for each month.

I’m planning for my first unmedicated IUI next weekend. I’m age 40, healthy and have regular 28 day cycles. However the fertility clinic is closed next weekend and they suggested that I do my IUI next Friday (day 12 of cycle). What are my chances of success for unmedicated IUI on day 12 if my ovulation is on day 14?
