Who is IUI suitable for?
IUIs will be recommended to those using donor sperm, as well as heterosexual couples that have good sperm parameters but may have difficulty with sexual intercourse or ejaculation. IUI often serves as the initial treatment choice for unexplained infertility, mild endometriosis, or mild male factor infertility
Medicated or natural IUI cycles
Medicated cycles are usually recommended for women that do not ovulate naturally as the medications help follicles grow and the IUI can be timed for when these follicles will ovulate. Natural cycles track the one follicle you would usually ovulate each menstrual cycle and the IUI is timed to coincide with when you would ovulate naturally.
IUI vs IVF
IUI is a versatile fertility treatment recommended for various scenarios, including ovulation challenges despite medication, minor sperm abnormalities, and difficulties with ejaculation. It’s also well-suited for lesbian or gay couples using donor sperm or frozen sperm from prior medical procedures.
On the other hand, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) represents an advanced assisted reproductive technology that combines eggs and sperm in a laboratory environment. IVF offers a comprehensive approach, particularly beneficial when conventional treatments have not yielded success, making it a preferred option for addressing complex fertility challenges
After the IUI
It is common for women to experience some vaginal discharge after an IUI. This is not leakage as the sperm have been carefully placed inside your uterus. However, it is likely that some cervical mucus may have been dislodged during an IUI procedure. You may also experience some slight spotting which is quite normal.[/TS-VCSC-Icon-Box-Tiny][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”IntroBoxesRow”][vc_column el_class=”strong-600″][vc_column_text el_class=”strong-600″]
