What is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a treatment that involves inserting sperm directly into the uterus during the most fertile time in your cycle. This increases the chance that the sperm will fertilize the egg and result in pregnancy.


IUI can be an amazing alternative to IVF if your doctor feels it's right for you based on your unique needs and goals.

Is IUI right for me?

IUI is an option for:

  • Couples experiencing unexplained infertility, which is when you've been trying to conceive without success for six months or up to one year, depending on your age, and fertility testing hasn't led to a definitive cause.
  • Single women using donor sperm who don’t have needs that require IVF.
  • Lesbian couples and any person assigned female at birth who needs donor sperm and plans to carry the pregnancy.
  • Mild male infertility issues - In this case placing the washed sperm can be more effective than natural conception alone.
  • Those experiencing endometriosis, or ovulatory or cervical issues.
