Scene 01 — What is IUI?

What is Intrauterine Insemination?

IUI places specially prepared healthy sperm directly inside the uterus during ovulation, allowing more sperm to reach the egg naturally.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the simplest, safest, and most cost-effective assisted reproductive procedures. By processing semen in the laboratory, we select only the highest motility sperm and place them directly into the uterine cavity near the fallopian tubes, bypassing cervical barriers.

Scene 04 — Treatment Journey

How is IUI Performed? (6-Step Procedure)

1

Ovulation Stimulation

Mild oral medications or low-dose injections stimulate healthy follicle growth.

2

Ultrasound Monitoring

Follicular tracking tracks egg growth and uterine lining thickness.

3

Ovulation Trigger Injection

HCG trigger injection induces final egg maturation within 36 hours.

4

Laboratory Sperm Washing

Semen sample is processed in lab to select only the healthiest, most motile sperm.

5

Insemination Procedure

A soft, painless catheter enters the cervix to deposit sperm directly into the uterus.

6

Natural Fertilization

Sperm swims to meet egg in fallopian tube naturally without surgery.
