Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

A cost-effective way for couples to boost their chances of getting pregnant.

What is Intrauterine Insemination?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a popular and often-effective infertility solution. IUI grew in popularity as an alternative treatment to a series of antiquated techniques such as the use of antibiotics and insemination in the cervical mucus – both of which were largely ineffective. IUI comes as a relief to countless couples struggling to get pregnant without intervention. IUI is successful in treating low-quality mucus or sperm, as well as cases where the sperm quantity is insufficient.

How Successful is IUI?

Couples who don’t want to leave their pregnancy up to chance often use IUI to get pregnant and can increase their chances of conception ten-fold.

The IUI Advantages

Compared to other techniques intrauterine insemination (IUI) is fast, effective, comfortable and affordable. The process is generally pain-free (for both males and females), is very straightforward, and is a very common treatment for assisted conception with exceptionally low chances of complications. Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility charges $379.00 for an IUI treatment, which is often thousands of dollars less than more expensive, less reliable treatments.

Although some patients may experience mild cramping, these side effects are rare. Arizona Center for Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility uses a prophylactic antibiotic for providing maximum protection against infection. Our well-trained staff also does everything to ensure you are comfortable and that your chances of a successful pregnancy are optimized.

Frequently, when it is determined that IUI is appropriate, it is attempted a few times before moving on to more complex procedures. There are many factors that determine the suitability of IUI for different couples. To get a complete medical and scientific understanding of the complete IUI process, click here.
