Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Introduction

Introduction to Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

When fertilization of the egg is a problem, intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be the solution. In this treatment, the sperm is placed directly into the uterus during the time of ovulation. The procedure takes only a few minutes and discomfort is minimal. You may be given fertility medicine to help stimulate the ovulation period to increase the chances of fertilization.

Under normal circumstances, sperm have a distance to travel to reach the egg and must do so within a certain time frame for fertilization to take place. IUI shortens the distance and time for a sperm to travel up the fallopian tube. It also makes fertilization easier.

How does IUI work?

IUI is performed at the time of ovulation. Medication may be required to stimulate ovulation. Careful monitoring allows the doctor to determine the time at which the eggs have reached maturity. When the LH hormone increases, ovulation is about to occur. The IUI procedure will be performed a day or two after the hormone increases.

The sperm sample must be prepared and separated from the seminal fluid. Using a catheter, it is then inserted directly into the uterus. The increased number of sperm cells introduced into the uterus maximizes the possibility of conception.

How successful is IUI?

At this time, there is not a fertility procedure that is 100% effective. All procedures are affected by unique variables. In IUI, many things are factored into the success of the procedure. Success rates can be as high as 20% per cycle when the IUI procedure is performed every month. Important factors to consider are the age of the woman, the reason for infertility and if fertility drugs were used. There are other variables as well.

The pregnancy rates using the IUI procedure are not as high as those using IVF. At the same time, IUI is a less invasive and more affordable option. Contact our office to schedule a consultation appointment with one of our doctors, and learn more about the process and your options.

Patient Reviews

  • Dr. Wang is truly amazing

    Dr. Wang is truly amazing. He is the most compassionate, patient, and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. He takes the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Compared to my consult at NYU, the experience at Neway was completely different. I felt at ease, never rushed, and always cared for. One of the best things about this clinic is how efficient they are, there is no waiting during appointments, and you get seen very quickly, which makes the whole process even smoother. If you are looking for a fertility clinic where you will feel supported and genuinely cared for, I highly recommend Dr. Wang, Dr. Lee, and the entire team at Neway.

  • Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country

    Dr. Wang’s care is unmatched. He personally performs every scan, retrieval, and transfer, and his gentle touch made my recovery seamless compared to past experiences. His nurse, Cecilia, and the rest of the team are equally incredible—organized, supportive, and attentive to every detail. If you’re searching for a doctor who truly cares, offers personalized protocols, and provides VIP care—especially if you’re older or have endometriosis—Dr. Wang is the best IVF doctor in the country. He made my dream of becoming a mom a reality, and I will forever be grateful for him!

  • He is an incredible doctor!

    I had tried 3 other clinics before finding Neway through a recommendation in a Facebook group. As soon as I met Dr. Wang my whole experience with infertility changed. I felt respected and taken care of which was far from my experience at other clinics. Dr. Wang is so friendly and compassionate, answers every email within depth explanations and personally sees you at every appointment. He is open to your input at every step of the way. He is an incredible doctor! I am so happy I found him. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

  • I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway

    IVF is not a journey anyone wants to take. It is a roller coaster of emotions that is only made easier with a wonderful support system. We found that at Neway – with Dr. Zimmerman and the entire nursing team. Ours wasn’t an immediate success story – it took multiple cycles to become pregnant. But I was incredibly grateful for the experience, thoughtfulness, and care provided by the team at Neway. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone on this journey.
