Fertility treatment

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Often used as an early fertility treatment, IUI helps nature by introducing more viable, healthy sperm to the egg at the right time, increasing the chances of conception.

Get started

When to consider IUI?

If you've been trying for a while without results, IUI can be a less invasive first step before moving to IVF.

IUI can help overcome slightly low sperm count or motility by placing sperm directly into the uterus.

If ovulation timing is unclear or cervical mucus is a barrier, IUI can improve the chances of sperm reaching the egg.

IUI is a common, effective option for same-sex couples or couples using donor sperm.

When all test results look normal but pregnancy isn’t happening, IUI combined with ovulation support can boost your chances.

Who will benefit from IUI?

  • Unexplained infertility

    Couples with unexplained infertility

    When all your reports look “normal” but pregnancy still isn’t happening, IUI is often the first line of assisted treatment to give sperm a better shot at reaching the egg.

  • Sperm issues

    Men with low sperm count or sperm function issues

    For those with slightly low sperm count, motility, or ejaculation issues, IUI places the healthiest sperm closer to the egg, bypassing many natural barriers.

  • Ovulation issues

    Women with ovulation related issues

    Even with irregular menstrual cycles, IUI can help time ovulation more effectively, increasing the chances of pregnancy.

IUI felt overwhelming at first, but Arva broke it down so clearly. It felt like a team effort, not something we were doing alone.

How does it work?

Your IUI journey starts with a discussion around your goals, medical history, partner’s semen parameters (if applicable), and whether IUI is the right next step for you.

We’ll run a few hormone tests and/or follicular scans to determine your ovulation window. In some cases, ovulation-stimulating medication may be prescribed to increase the chances of success.

On the day of the procedure, your partner (or donor) provides a semen sample. It’s “washed” in the lab to concentrate the healthiest, most motile sperm.

Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm is gently placed directly into your uterus. This is a quick, mostly painless process done at the clinic—no anaesthesia required.

After the procedure, you can resume your day as usual. A blood test is done 12–14 days later to check for pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

IUI is a quick, low-intervention procedure—similar to a routine gyne exam. It might feel like a Pap smear: slightly uncomfortable, but not painful or surgical.

Not necessarily. Most people try IUI for 3–6 cycles based on how their body responds, their age, and comfort level. Your doctor may also recommend combining it with ovulation-stimulating meds to increase chances.

On average, success rates range between 10–20% per cycle, and it may take a few tries. Your age, egg health, and sperm quality play a big role—your doctor can help you understand your personal chances better.

If you've been trying for a while with no clear reason why it's not working, or if you're dealing with mild sperm or ovulation issues, IUI might be your starting point. It’s also commonly chosen by single parents or same-sex couples using donor sperm.
