What is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)?

IUI
IUI or Intrauterine Insemination is considered one of the least invasive and simplest forms of infertility treatments. This procedure involves insertion of male partner’s or donor’s motile sperm into the woman’s uterus, usually during the time of ovulation.

This makes the passage to the fallopian tubes much shorter, and there is a better chance that more sperm will encounter the egg. The goal of this procedure is to improve a woman’s chance of getting pregnant.
