you are spending too much and looking for the most effective treatment. Knowing the
differences between IUI and IVF, you will get better clarity on what is right for you and your
baby.

Let’s here breakdown the differences between IVF and IUI for your better understanding of
these treatment methods.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI)

Know more about IUI
In IUI treatment, the sperms are collected from the male partner and processed in the laboratory.
The collected sperm is then washed to remove seminal fluid so as to avoid severe cramping,
which is then concentrated.
In order to enable fertility, the sperms are placed higher on the uterine cavity bypass which
shortens the passage to the fallopian tubes. Through IUI, more sperm will meet the egg and
thereby higher the chances of pregnancy.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

When the couples have below health issues, you can opt for IUI:

• If a woman is not ovulating properly and not able to conceive even after consuming medicines
for ovulation-inducing fertility,
• When fertility medication opts for increasing eggs for a woman who ovulates normally.
• When ejaculation is problematic for the male partner.
• If donor sperm is used for pregnancy.
• If the male partner is affected by testicular cancer and frozen sperm has been collected before
surgery or treatment.
For issues like unknown infertility, mild endometriosis, mild male infertility, etc, IUI is the most
suggested infertility treatment.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Know more about IVF

IVF is a type of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) wherein the male partner’s sperm and
eggs of a female is combined in a laboratory dish which takes place outside their physical body.
Female ovaries can be stimulated using medications and also develop multiple follicles with
eggs.

IVF is a small process wherein sedation is used for trans vaginal ultrasound in order to aspire
follicles and get the eggs followed by insemination of sperm on the same day. Through IVF,
embryo growth can also be monitored and wait for the optimal day to transfer the embryo.

Who can benefit from IVF?

In vitro fertilization is suitable for the couple who have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant
even after continuous trying for one year and also for someone who has increased fertility issues
as below:

• When fallopian tubes are blocked due to scarring or tubal ligation.

• Ovulation is not regular
• Low male sperm count or low motility.
 • Increased endometriosis
• If there is the previous vasectomy for the male partner.
• When there are less egg vitality and lower egg supply.
• IVF surrogacy and/or Egg donation.
IVF is suitable for such couples who have already tried to conceive naturally to a minimum of
three unsuccessful IUI cycles.
