IUI Treatment Procedures We Follow
IUI is a type of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) that allows you to get pregnant when you can’t conceive naturally. In this procedure, healthy, motile sperm is injected directly into the uterus. Fertilization happens when the sperm reaches the fallopian tube and fertilizes the awaiting egg.
At The Hive Fertility Centre, Dr. Niveditha follows the below steps to ensure your IUI cycle is successful and you return home with a smile on your face and a bundle of joy in your arms.
Ovulation induction
This is the first step of IUI, where the female partner is given hormonal injections to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. This step is required in women who have ovulatory issues and need an injection to stimulate ovulation. If you have regular periods every month, the IUI procedure can be done during your ovulation.
Sperm retrieval
The sperm is collected from the male partner in a sterile container and sent for a semen analysis. Here, the sperm are tested for volume, motility, and morphology. The sperm are washed, and the highest quality among them is segregated and collected in a needle.
Artificial insemination
As the name suggests, artificial insemination is the process where the washed sperm are injected into the uterus through the vagina. Once the eggs are mature and ready for fertilization, a catheter containing the needle is inserted through the vagina to release the sperm.
Fertilization
The sperm swims through the uterus and reaches the fallopian tube, where the eggs await fertilization. If fertilization is successful, the egg will reach the uterus and implant in the uterine lining. You can take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the procedure to know your results.
