IUI treatment can help couples where the man has a low sperm count or poor motility (the ability of the sperm to move), as long as there are sufficient levels of healthy, motile sperms to make the treatment worthwhile.

programs
SUMMARY
IUI treatment (IUI) also called artificial insemination has a long history and
is much less "hi-tech" than some other methods of assisted conception. In
IUI treatment warmed prepared sperm is introduced into the woman's uterus
(womb) at around the time of ovulation, with the aim of getting the sperm
nearer to the egg. The procedure is often combined with fertility drugs.
Who might benefit?
IUI treatment can help couples where the man has a low sperm count or
poor motility (the ability of the sperm to move), as long as there are
sufficient levels of healthy, motile sperms to make the treatment worthwhile.
If not, IVF or ICSI will be more suitable. Different clinics use different
criteria to decide whether the quality of sperms is sufficient for IUI.
Because sperm is placed directly inside the woman, IUI can also help
couples who are unable to have intercourse because of disability, injury, or
difficulties such as premature ejaculation. It is also recommended for women
with mild endometriosis, and is often used as the first line of assisted
conception treatment for couples with "unexplained infertility". Women
without a male partner may also want to have IUI, as using sperm donated
through a clinic has a number of advantages over self-insemination at home.
How it is done?
IUI is timed to take place at the time of natural ovulation. You may be asked
to detect ovulation using an ovulation predictor kit, or your doctor may track
your cycle using blood and urine tests. IUI is usually done between about
day 12 and day 15 of a natural menstrual cycle, but the exact day will
depend on your particular cycle and when ovulation is detected. If your
fertility specialist has offered you IUI during a stimulated cycle, you'll
probably be given fertility drugs in the form of an injection and nasal spray.
You'll start taking the drug near the beginning of your menstrual cycle to
stimulate your ovaries to develop several mature eggs for fertilisation. (You
normally release only one egg a month.) Your doctor will use ultrasound to
detect ovulation and make sure that insemination is carried out at the
optimum time. You may ovulate naturally, or be given an injection of the
hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) to bring this on. Once you
ovulate, your partner produces a sperm sample, which is "washed" to extract
the best quality, most mobile sperm. Using a catheter (tube) through your
cervix, doctors then put this sperm directly into your uterus near a fallopian
tube (the passage the egg travels along from an ovary to your uterus). This is
IUI. If you have unexplained infertility, the sperm may be inserted within a
larger volume of fluid than usual so it can wash up into the fallopian tubes
more easily. This technique takes a few minutes more than standard IUI and

2. is known as "fallopian sperm perfusion". It has been shown to increase the
chances of success in cases of unexplained fertility. You rest for a short time
afterwards and then carry on life as normal. You'll be able to take
a pregnancy test in about two weeks.
How long will treatment last?
The insemination itself is straightforward and takes only a short time but, if
you are having a stimulated cycle, you'll be on fertility drugs before you
ovulate.
Success rate
Success rates depend on the causes of you and your partner's infertility and
your age. You're more likely to conceive if you're trying to solve a cervical
mucus problem than a sperm quality problem. The success rate for IUI with
fertility drugs is about 15 per cent per cycle.
What are the advantages?
This procedure of IUI treatment can be an effective solution for men with a
low sperm count or poor sperm motility, where the sperm can't make the
long journey to the egg. It's technique gives advantages to couples who have
problems because a man's sperm can't get through the woman's cervical
mucus, perhaps because of an immune reaction. It can only work for couples
where the woman has no fallopian tube blockages. Donor sperm can be used
in cases where the man is producing no sperm at all, or where a woman
wants to have a baby on her own or within a same-sex relationship. In the
latter case, the advantages of going to a clinic for IUI with donor sperm
include proper screening of the donated sperm for infections such as HIV
and hepatitis. The legal rights and responsibilities of the father if the baby is
conceived using fresh sperm do not apply if frozen donated sperm is used.
