A simpler first step toward pregnancy

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment used to support couples experiencing infertility or subfertility. It involves placing prepared sperm directly by a fine catheter through the cervix and into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization.

Your IUI Journey

What to Expect

A connected sequence of treatment steps from the first consultation through follow-up.

  1. Consultation

    Your specialist reviews your fertility history, general health, and goals to confirm whether IUI is the right starting point — and to discuss what the cycle will look like.

    Consultation. Two seats facing each other across a small round table.
    a conversation, first
  2. Cycle Monitoring

    We track your natural or lightly stimulated cycle with ultrasound scans and hormone checks to identify the best window for insemination.

    Monitoring. A follicle measured by ultrasound, with the scan visits that track its growth.
    watched closely, visit by visit
  3. Sperm Preparation

    A semen sample is processed in our lab to concentrate the most active, healthy sperm — a step that significantly improves the chances of fertilization.

    Sperm selection. Several sperm, with one selected and highlighted.
    one chosen from many
  4. Insemination

    The prepared sperm is gently placed directly into the uterus using a thin, soft catheter. The procedure is quick, outpatient, and most patients describe it as no more uncomfortable than a routine examination.

    Diagnostic workup. A sample taken for testing, beside results plotted over time.
    tests that explain, not just measure
  5. Follow-up & Next Steps

    Two weeks after insemination, a pregnancy test confirms the result. If needed, your care team will discuss next steps — calmly and with full support.

    Follow-up and next steps. Where you are today, the review point, and the step that follows.
    you are not left to guess
