At Greenwich Fertility Center for womans your doctor may prescribe you to undergo IUI
treatment based on these criteria

If your partner experiences impotency or premature ejaculation or if his semen

analysis shows below-average sperm concentration, weak movement of sperm,
or any kind of deformities in size and shape of sperm. IUI involves separation of
highly motile sperm, normal sperm and lower quality sperm. Only the healthy
sample of sperm thus extracted is placed into uterus.
If you want to achieve gain pregnancy using donor sperm. IUI is generally the
most preferred method to achieve pregnancy in women who may not have a
male partner and are trying for a baby using donated sperm. The sperm can be
obtained from any certified labs and thawed and inserted in the womb.
If the mucus produced by the cervix is too thick and obstructs the free travel of
sperm. In fact, the mucus produced by the cervix provides an ideal medium for
the transportation of sperm from vagina to the fallopian tubes. If its thick it can
prevent the flow of sperm and thus prevent normal pregnancy. IUI involves
placing of sperm with a catheter, it bypasses the cervix and places sperm directly
into the uterus. This also increases the number of sperm available to meet the
waiting egg.
If you are facing unexplained infertility. It means that the cause of infertility is
remains unknown even after the assessment of semen analysis in the man and
assessment of ovulation and fallopian tubes in the woman.
If you experience an allergy to your partners semen. Though rare, sometimes
women have been found to experience an allergy to proteins in their partners
semen. This might cause redness, burning and swelling at the place where the
semen contacts the skin. If the sensitivity is high, ICI can be a very useful method
because many of the semen proteins are removed prior to the insertion of sperm.

You should note that the Intrauterine Insemination CT is a safe procedure and you
dont have to worry about any adverse, debilitating effects on your body. Blow are few
points to make you feel at ease.

IUI is a very efficient method of artificial insemination. Its not a cause of worry if
you don't get pregnant by IUI procedure in the first time. You may try IUI again for
three to six months before moving on to other fertility treatments. Your doctor

may choose to insert sperm twice within the treatment cycle. This is done to
increase chances of pregnancy by decreasing the risk of missing the fertile
window during ovulation.

IUI procedures are done mostly a day or two after detecting ovulation. As the
timing of IUI is very essential, your doctor should spell out a definite plan for your
IUI. It is generally done in a doctors clinic. The visit for IUI takes about 15 to 20
minutes. It is just a matter of one or two minutes for the IUI procedure itself.
Besides, no medications or pain relievers are required in the process. A doctor or
a a specially trained nurse may perform the IUI procedure.

Laparoscopy and Dye test

Before the IUI procedure is undertaken, the doctors would like to confirm if your
fallopian tubes are opening up well and healthy. For this, a tubal patency test is
generally done at the fertility clinic. Typically it is done by laparoscopy and dye
testing.
In laparoscopy, a telescope into the abdomen is inserted to obtain a direct view
of the pelvis. If the dye moves freely through both tubes, it means that your pelvis
and tubes are healthy. This test would ensure that there are no adhesions
present in the tubes that might stop egg from ovaries to fertilize with sperm.

IUI at Dr Nora Millers clinic is a quite safe, simple, and effective procedure with low risk
of severe complications. The little risks, however, may include:

Studies have revealed that fewer than 2 per cent of women have infection
because of the ICI procedure.
The insertion of sperm using a catheter in the uterus can sometimes cause a little
vaginal bleeding. There is nothing to worry about it as it doesnt usually affect the
chance of pregnancy.
In itself, IUI doesnt lead to multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets or more).
However the risk of a multiple pregnancy increases when IUI is coordinated with
ovulation-inducing medications.
