What is artificial insemination?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an assisted reproduction procedure that consists of introducing inside the woman’s uterus of a sample of sperm prepared in advance.
It is a low complexity treatment in which, the fertilization process occurs naturally within the mother’s womb and the distance separating the spermatozoon and the ovum is shortened.
01
Ovarian stimulation
To increase the chances of a successful insemination, a personalized ovarian stimulation is performed by administering hormones that activate the ovarian follicles growth.
02
Ultrasounds
The stimulation is monitored by a series of ultrasound scans for approximately 10-12 days and with blood estradiol tests until the follicles have reached an adequate size and number.
03
Ovulation
At this point ovulation is induced by a hCG hormone injection and the insemination is usually scheduled 36 hours after that administration.
01
Semen preparation
Two hours before the procedure, semen preparation is performed. This preparation consists in selecting and concentrating the spermatozoa with the best mobility to optimize the quality of the sample that will be used for the insemination.
02
Simple technique
Intrauterine insemination is a simple technique that is performed in The Fertile Group consultation rooms. It doesn’t require anesthesia or previous intake of antibiotics, in addition, it is not painful at all.
03
The Insemination
Insemination is very similar to a routine gynecological examination, where a cannula loaded with prepared semen is introduced through the cervix.
Costs
The cost of this treatment, depending on the clinical conditions of each patient, usually ranges from $800 to $1,800, including ovarian stimulation medication.
The Fertile Group also offers you financing options for your treatment.
Types of IUI
Intrauterine insemination can be done with either couple’s semen sample, or a semen donor sample. Donor semen is recommended when the quality of couple’s sample is not good enough or there is a risk of transmitting a genetic disorder to the child.
Women wishing to be mothers without a partner can also rely on intrauterine insemination with donor semen.
Results
A blood pregnancy test is usually done 2 weeks after insemination.
