Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) at Arogyam IVF
At Arogyam IVF, we offer Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) as a safe, effective, and minimally invasive fertility treatment option. Our expert team will guide you through the IUI process, which involves injecting healthy sperm cells directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization.


Steps Involved in IUI Treatment
-
Ovarian Stimulation: Fertility medication may be prescribed to stimulate ovulation and increase the chances of successful fertilization.
-
Monitoring of Ovulation: Ultrasound and blood tests are used to monitor ovulation and determine the optimal time for IUI treatment.
-
Sperm Preparation: The sperm sample is prepared through a process called sperm wash, which involves removing dead or slow-moving sperm cells and concentrating the healthy sperm.
-
Insemination: The healthy sperm is injected into the woman's uterus through a small catheter.
Success Rate of IUI
-
Stage 1: Birth Control Pills or OestrogenYour doctor may recommend oestrogen or birth control tablets before you begin IVF therapy. This is used to regulate the time of your menstrual cycle and prevent the growth of ovarian cysts. It enables your doctor to manage your treatment and increase the number of mature eggs collected during the egg retrieval operation.
-
Stage 2: Ovarian StimulationIn a normal woman, each menstrual cycle results in the production of one egg. However, several eggs are necessary for IVF. The likelihood of creating a healthy embryo improves when more than one egg is used. To boost your body's egg production, you'll be given fertility medications. You'll be prescribed injectable hormone medications during your IVF cycle to encourage all of the eggs in that cycle to develop at once and completely.
-
Stage 3: Ultrasound ExaminationTo evaluate how well the medications on your ovaries are working, a vaginal ultrasound test is performed at regular intervals. If the outcome is bad, it's possible that your doctor will suggest stopping the IVF treatment cycle. You and your doctor will decide together on this.
-
Stage 4: Egg RetrievalThe egg retrieval procedure is carried out 36 hours following your hormone IVF injections given for stimulation. Transvaginal sonography is used to help retrieve eggs from the ovaries while the patient is under general anesthesia. Your reaction to the medications will determine how many eggs are collected, and the operation lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Around two to three hours following the treatment, you can leave for home. Sometimes there may be some stomach pain and vaginal spotting, but these symptoms usually go away in a day or two.
-
Stage 5: Sperm CollectionA sample of semen is required from your spouse. On the day the eggs are harvested, a sample of fresh semen is often taken. A previously frozen sample can also be used, though, if a fresh sample can't be made on the same day or if the spouse isn't there on the day, the eggs are collected. The sperm and the eggs will be combined by a technician in a petri dish. If it fails to result in embryos, your doctor can choose to perform ICSI.
-
Stage 6: Fertilizing the EggsThe eggs will be fertilized in the laboratory, either through ICSI or traditional IVF. The embryologist will check the eggs the following day to see whether they have been fertilized and then later to see if any embryos have developed further. It is possible to freeze additional well-developed embryos if there are more than three for eventual later transfer.
-
Stage 7: Embryo CultureThe fertilized eggs (embryos) are nurtured in a controlled environment, allowing them to grow and develop.
-
Stage 8: Embryo TransferThis is done two, three, or five days following egg harvest. To decide if a day 3 or day 5 transfer is necessary, embryologists keep an eye on the development and viability of the embryos. The embryo is positioned in your uterus using a tiny catheter that is implanted. It takes between six and ten days for the implantation to take place if the operation is successful. A course of medicines to assist the luteal phase will be provided to you after the transfer.
-
Stage 9: Pregnancy TestA pregnancy blood test is carried out after two weeks following extraction. In the event that the test is positive, the patient is thought to be four weeks pregnant.
The success rate of IUI varies depending on factors such as age, reason for infertility, and sperm quality. At Arogyam IVF, we have a team of experienced fertility specialists who will work with you to maximize your chances of success.

Why IUI is Done?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Treatment at Arogyam IVF​
At Arogyam IVF, we offer Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) as a simple and effective treatment procedure to enhance fertility and increase the chances of conception. Our expert team will guide you through the IUI process, which involves placing a highly concentrated sample of active and robust sperms into the uterus via the cervix artificially.
Circumstances That May Require IUI Treatment
A number of circumstances may require IUI treatment, including:​
-
Endometriosis: IUI can help increase the chances of pregnancy in patients with endometriosis by stimulating the production of healthy eggs.
-
Cervical Issues: IUI bypasses the cervix entirely, placing sperms directly in the uterus and increasing the chances of fertilization.
-
Unexplained Infertility: IUI can help couples conceive by inducing ovulation and placing a good concentration of sperms in the uterus.
-
Male Infertility: IUI can be used to select the best sperms for fertilization, increasing the chances of pregnancy in cases of low sperm count, decreased motility, or poor morphology.
-
Donor Sperm: IUI is a popular choice for females who require donor sperm, as it is a less invasive procedure.
