Overview
An overview of IUI
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a less-invasive fertility treatment where prepared sperm — washed, concentrated and motility-selected — is placed directly inside the uterus using a thin catheter, timed precisely with ovulation.
Who is IUI for?
Eligibility criteria we evaluate at the first consultation.
Unexplained infertility
Couples with no diagnosable cause after a full workup.
Mild male factor
Sperm parameters slightly below WHO reference but workable.
Single women / same-sex couples
Using donor sperm.
Ovulation disorders
Combined with oral ovulation-induction (Letrozole / Clomiphene).
Cervical-factor infertility
Bypasses cervical mucus issues by placing sperm directly in the uterus.
