The IUI or intrauterine insemination procedure is for women who are unable to become pregnant on their own. IUI is the most cost effective infertility treatment available.
During the procedure a very thin flexible catheter is threaded through the cervix. Once the catheter is in place, washed sperm is then injected into the uterus.
Intrauterine insemination only takes 2-3 minutes and is relatively painless. About two weeks after the procedure a pregnancy test is performed to confirm a pregnancy.
About Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology
Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology
Women are at the center of all they do. They provide state-of-the-art programs in a warm, welcoming environment, giving them the distinction of being leaders in women’s health regionally, nationally and internationally.
Magee-Womens Hospital’s Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology offers a woman-focused approach, knowledge, and expertise to provide highly personalized reproductive health care, including evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. They provide the full spectrum of infertility services for females and males. Treatment decisions are made in conjunction with the couple and may include semen analysis, ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, to advance reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), donor gametes (sperm and oocytes) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
In addition, the Center offers an egg donation program. Some women are unable to achieve pregnancy with their own eggs for reasons such as premature ovarian failure, decreased ovarian reserve and poor oocyte quality. Advanced technology, ongoing research and a supportive team approach keep Magee’s Center for Fertility and Reproductive Endocrinology on the cutting edge, but listening keeps us in touch with what matters most. You.
