IUI Treatment

Intrauterine insemination (IUI), the injection of sperm into the uterus by means of a catheter directed through the cervix, has been practiced for many years as a treatment for infertility. The premise of this procedure is that sperm can reach and fertilize the egg more easily if they are placed directly into the uterine cavity. IUI is often the chosen infertility treatment in cases of cervical factors caused by poor mucus quality, unexplained infertility and sometimes also mild male factor infertility. IUI is not helpful in cases of moderate to severe male factor, or in the presence of significant tubal disease.

Success of Intrauterine Insemination 

The pregnancy success rate associated with IUI depends on the cause of infertility, as well as the women's age. On average, the success of intrauterine insemination ranges from just under 6% to as high as 26% per cycle. The lower percentage reflects the IUI pregnancy success rate when one follicle is used and the higher percentage reflects the IUI pregnancy success rate when multiple follicles are used. Usually no more than 3 to 4 follicles are used in order to decrease the risk of multiple births, which can lead to pregnancy complications.

The Cost of IUI 

On average, this ART procedure costs between $1000 and $3000, depending on the facilities provided by the fertility clinic. This price may or not include the cost of fertility drugs, ultrasound monitoring, hormone treatments, donor sperms or other supplementary treatments. Using donor sperm increases the price of intrauterine insemination.

Typically, a woman undergoes 3 to 6 cycles of IUI before successfully getting pregnant. If your insurance doesn't cover the cost of IUI, you will have to pay the entire cost of this ART procedure up front.

The Drawbacks Associated with IUI 

Adversely, there are certain drawbacks associated with intrauterine insemination.
Because timing is so crucial in this assisted reproductive technology procedure, a woman must be available to travel to her doctor's office at the exact moment of ovulation. By the same token, the male partner must be able to produce sperm promptly by masturbating into a cup.

Infertility is a message from your body telling you something is WRONG inside 

Infertility and insulin resistance/hormonal related disorders, are like an alarm signal warning you that your house (your body or reproductive system) is on fire. By ignoring those messages, your condition is bound to get worse. When your house is on fire, you cannot shut off the alarm, go to sleep and expect everything to return to normal.
By using drugs to shut your body's alarm system, or painful surgical procedures you are practically ignoring your body's messages and neglecting the root cause of your problem, thus making your condition worse in the long run. The only way you can ever reverse your infertility is from within by listening to what your body is trying to tell you, work with it and become pregnant naturally.
