For patients experiencing minor infertility issues or when using donor sperm, an IUI procedure can be a beneficial solution. With IUI, we carefully inject concentrated sperm directly into a patient’s uterus to increase the chances of inseminating the eggs.

The first step is to begin taking fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs. We then conduct a series of blood tests and monitor the ovaries with ultrasound sessions to determine the optimal time for the IUI procedure. A thin, minimally invasive catheter places the sperm in the uterus to inseminate the eggs.

IUI can be helpful for:

• Ongoing infertility issues

• Sperm quality

• Cervical mucus problems

• Donor sperm use

• Individuals or LGBTQ couples

For patients who need help conceiving, IUI is less invasive, has fewer risks, and is often less expensive than other fertility treatments.
