IUI Treatment
WHAT IS IUI?
During intrauterine insemination (IUI), sperm are washed in a special media that promotes their health and facilitates the separation of the fast-moving sperm from the sluggish or non-moving sperm. The rapidly moving sperm are concentrated into a small volume and are placed directly into the uterus when a woman is most fertile, immediately prior to and during ovulation.
Since prepared sperm are placed directly into the uterus , helpful in women with poor cervical mucus or those who have antisperm antibodies. Poor cervical mucus can prevent the sperm from swimming from the vagina to the uterus and antisperm antibodies can “kill” or incapacitate sperm.
