What Is Intrauterine Insemination?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an effective fertility treatment offered at the Center for Human Reproduction that involves carefully placing sperm directly into the uterus to increase the likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy. IUI is ideal for couples dealing with male fertility issues, such as low sperm count, sexual dysfunction, or reduced sperm mobility. It may also be an effective option for women with cervical factor infertility where the cervical mucus prevents sperm from reaching the uterus. Intrauterine insemination allows for a more direct path for the sperm, enhancing your chances of conception. Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Dr. David H. Barad perform this procedure with expertise and compassion, providing hope for couples facing fertility challenges. To learn more about IUI or to see if you are an ideal candidate, contact our center in New York, NY today.
How Does Intrauterine Insemination Work?
Intrauterine insemination is performed in a private treatment room at the Center for Human Reproduction. The IUI process will begin with ovulation induced by medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Your progress will be closely monitored through blood tests and ultrasounds to identify the best timing for intrauterine insemination. Once the eggs are ready, an hCG injection is administered to trigger ovulation. Your IUI procedure will be scheduled during this time. Sperm, either from your partner or a donor, is carefully prepared and then introduced directly into the uterus with a flexible catheter, increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
What Are the Benefits of Intrauterine Insemination?
IUI is a popular fertility treatment among our patients in New York, NY due to its many benefits. Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad will tailor the IUI process to meet your unique fertility needs. Some of the primary benefits of intrauterine insemination include:
- Overcoming issues with cervical mucus that can block sperm
- Improving pregnancy chances in cases of male infertility
- Offering a less invasive, more cost-effective alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF)
- Accurately timing the introduction of sperm to coincide with ovulation for ideal results
- Allowing the use of either partner or donor sperm
Center For Human Reproduction Reviews
Dr Barad and his team have been super supportive and very friendly and professional at the same time. I would always recommend Center of human reproduction to anyone who wants to conceive. Let me tell you this flew all the way dallas to NY and it was worth it.
Unfortunately, I have had to deal with infertility for 7+ years and have been with 4 different clinics. CHR, Drs Barad and Gleicher, and the entire staff have been nothing short of kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. This clinic is 2.5 hours from us, so it was a big decision to travel out of state for care; but I am so glad we made the decision. We’re still in the thick of it, but I feel comfortable and confident with my treatment plan.***update: I gave birth to two beautiful baby boys in January thanks to CHR. We almost lost hope on being able to grow our family and after one round of IVF with Dr Barad, I became pregnant with twins! We are forever grateful to the entire team for believing in us and not giving up on me or my body. 🙏🏻
